Q(5,6,7,8)

Question 5: What is the maximum time speed-up possible according to Amdahl's law? Question 6: What is the maximum speed-up which can be achieved on 5, 10, and 20 processors if 90% of a calculation can be parallelized? Question 7: What is the system efficiency which can be achieved on 100, 250, and 400 processors if 25% of a calculation can be serial and the workload is fixed? Page 2 Parallel and Distributed Computing Question 8: Assume that a large cluster is used, what is the scaled-workload speed-up and system efficiency which can be achieved on 100, 250, and 400 processors if 25% of a calculation can be sequential
