Performance Bounds for Parallel Processors.
Ruby Bei-Loh Lee · Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC) · 1976
A general model of computation on a p-parallel processor is proposed, distinguishing clearly between the logical parallelism (p* processes) inherent in a computation, and the physical parallelism (p processor) available in the computer organization. This shows the dependence of performance bounds on both the computation being executed and the computer architecture.
