In computer architecture, Gustafson's law (or Gustafson–Barsis's law[ 1 ]) gives the speedup in the execution time of a task that theoretically gains from parallel computing, using a hypothetical run of the task on a single-core machine as the baseline. To put it another way, it is the theoretical "slowdown" of an already parallelized task if ...
