What is "Amdahl's Law" used to estimate?
Correct! Well done.
Incorrect.
The correct answer is A) The theoretical maximum speedup of a task when only part of it can be parallelized or improved, given the proportion of the task that benefits from the improvement
A
Correct Answer
The theoretical maximum speedup of a task when only part of it can be parallelized or improved, given the proportion of the task that benefits from the improvement
Explanation
Amdahl's Law shows that overall speedup is limited by the portion of a task that cannot be parallelized — even with infinite processors, the non-parallelizable fraction caps the maximum achievable speedup.
