A Study of Amdahl′s Law Performance Model on Asymmetric Multicore System
Deng Qian-ni · Microelectronics & Computer · 2011
Amdahl's law studies the performance of parallel computing and reveals performance limitation.The asymmetric multicore architecture which is designed to break this limit need appropriate performance model to support its theoretical value.New model analyzes different speedups between two architectures and tells asymmetric architecture can gain performance advantage.Also this model gives advisable design proposals to maximize asymmetric multicore architecture's performance.
