Suppose that you currently have a computer system with the following two characteristics: There are only three components that determine the overall performance — CPU, memory, and disk. For any given computation, the system spends 30% of the time for CPU, 40% of the time for memory, and 30% of the time for disk. Now suppose that you want to purchase a new system that improves the performance in the following ways:
The memory performance is 4 times faster over your current system, the disk performance is 5 times faster over your current system and everything else is the same. Using Amdahl’s Law, calculate the overall speedup of the new system over your current system.
