Question 1
What does Amdahl’s Law imply?
- Speedup is unlimited with more processors
- Speedup is limited by the sequential portion
- Speedup increases exponentially with processors
💡 Hint: Focus on the role of the sequential part in the speedup formula.
Question 2
True or False: Amdahl's Law applies only to programs with no parallelizable tasks.
- True
- False
💡 Hint: Consider how Amdahl's Law always factors in both components.

Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
In a computing task where 25% of the workload is inherently sequential, calculate the maximum speedup achievable if 8 processors are utilized.
💡 Hint: Apply Amdahl's formula carefully.
Question 2
Devise a program optimization strategy that minimizes the sequential workload while maximizing parallel execution. Discuss how Amdahl’s Law applies to your strategy.
💡 Hint: Look for parts of the code that can be parallelized and address them directly.
