Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
If processing task A takes 60 hours sequentially and its parallel execution reduces the time to 6 hours while task B takes 90 hours sequentially and 30 hours in parallel, which task offers greater speedup?
💡 Hint: Calculate speedup for both tasks separately.
Question 2
Analyze the impact of increased parallel processing on system costs versus benefits in an HPC environment. Discuss how speedup relates to returning on investment.
💡 Hint: Consider both short-term and long-term impacts.
