  2. Amdahl's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amdahl's_law

    In this case, Gustafson's law gives a less pessimistic and more realistic assessment of the parallel performance. [10] Universal Scalability Law (USL), developed by Neil J. Gunther, extends the Amdahl's law and accounts for the additional overhead due to inter-process communication. USL quantifies scalability based on parameters such as ...

  3. Gustafson's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gustafson's_law

    Gustafson's law addresses the shortcomings of Amdahl's law, which is based on the assumption of a fixed problem size, that is of an execution workload that does not change with respect to the improvement of the resources. Gustafson's law instead proposes that programmers tend to increase the size of problems to fully exploit the computing power ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_eponymous_laws

    Amdahl's law is used to find out the maximum expected improvement to an overall system when only a part of it is improved. Named after Gene Amdahl (1922–2015). Ampère's circuital law , in physics, relates the circulating magnetic field in a closed loop to the electric current through the loop.

    Work law. The cost is always at least the work: pT p ≥ T 1. This follows from the fact that p processors can perform at most p operations in parallel. [6] [9] Span law. A finite number p of processors cannot outperform an infinite number, so that T p ≥ T ∞. [9] Using these definitions and laws, the following measures of performance can be ...

    Also, IMO Gustafson's law does not contradict Amdahl's law: it's merely a different approach to parallelism, but both are valid. As explained in the last paragraph of Gustafson's paper, Gustafson's point has to be replaced in the context of a misuse of Amdahl's law causing overrated skepticism over the practical value of massive parallelism ...

  7. Parallel computing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_computing

    Amdahl's Law has limitations, including assumptions of fixed workload, neglecting inter-process communication and synchronization overheads, primarily focusing on computational aspect and ignoring extrinsic factors such as data persistence, I/O operations, and memory access overheads.

  9. Speedup - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speedup

    More technically, it is the improvement in speed of execution of a task executed on two similar architectures with different resources. The notion of speedup was established by Amdahl's law, which was particularly focused on parallel processing. However, speedup can be used more generally to show the effect on performance after any resource ...
