In the case of parallelization, Amdahl’s law states that if P is the proportion of a program that can be made parallel and (1 – P) is the proportion that cannot be parallelized, then the maximum speed-up that can be achieved by using N processors is:
(A)
(B)
(C)
(D)


Answer: (C)

Explanation: Amdahl’s law states that if P is the proportion of a program that can be made parallel and (1 – P) is the proportion that cannot be parallelized, then the maximum speed-up that can be achieved by using N processors is:
