Integrating Amdahl-like Laws and Divisible Load Theory
Yang Cao, Fei Wu, Thomas G. Robertazzi · Parallel Processing Letters · 2021
A simple means of integrating the characteristics of networked processors under divisible loads into Amdahl’s Law is presented. Amdahl’s Law serves as an upper bound to these speedup results. Amdahl’s Law with divisible load processing characteristics included serves as an upper bound to speedup for any model taking into consideration more detailed peculiarities of real systems such as the overhead of task creation, synchronization, resource contention and memory issues.
