2 According to Amdahl's law, what is the maximum speed-up of a parallel computation given that 90% of the computation must be executed sequentially? 90% (9/10) 10% (1/10) 10 (1/0.9) None of the other answers

3 According to Amdahl's law, what is the maximum speed-up of a parallel computation given that 90% of the computation can be executed in parallel? 90% (9/10) 10% (1/10) 10 (1/0.9) None of the other answers

4 Suppose a program has a part at the beginning that is sequential in nature (must be executed by only one processor) and takes 3 ms. Also there is a part at the end of the program that is sequential and takes 4 ms. Between these two parts can be divided into 5 equal parts that can be executed simultaneously and each of these parts takes 16 ms. What is maximum speed-up according to Amdahl’s law? (You will need paper to work on the answer.)
