In computer architecture, Amdahl's law (or Amdahl's argument [1]) is a formula that shows how much faster a task can be completed when you add more resources to the system. The law can be stated as: "the overall performance improvement gained by optimizing a single part of a system is limited by the fraction of time that the improved part is ...
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 ...
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.
In computational complexity theory, a speedup theorem is a theorem that for any algorithm (of a certain class) demonstrates the existence of a more efficient algorithm solving the same problem.

In 1967, Amdahl and Slotnick published a debate about the feasibility of parallel processing at American Federation of Information Processing Societies Conference. [79] It was during this debate that Amdahl's law was coined to define the limit of speed-up due to parallelism.
Yellow lights give drivers little time — usually 3 to 6 seconds — to make a decision at an intersection. Here’s what Kansas and Missouri laws say on the matter.
A Missouri appeals court's review of a fire district's meager public meeting agendas could have far-reaching consequences for the Sunshine Law. Missouri Sunshine Law in the spotlight as appeals ...
