    Gustafson's law (weak scaling) might be interesting to discuss, as some people see it as more relevant than Amdahl's Law.

    Thank you for the upload.

    @xpeedX because you increase the road 2 cars can go over the road so you double the speed. but if you increase the single treat performance you could increase the clock = speed or you could increase the instructions/clock look at it as using a car that has 6 seats instead of 4. and HT is just getting all the cars full instead of leaving one guy whit one car. turbo is like increasing the of the roads when there are a low amount of cars at the road.

    Man, I know this was in 2011, but jesus you'd think the camera quality would be better coming from a magazine company.
    Nonetheless, it's nice to see Amdahl's Law verbally explained like this.

  • @themassau
    @themassau 13 років тому

    @xpeedX i think you forgot that it is (somthing)+p/n so the n can only make p/n zero and the equation that is left whit like 1000core would be 1/(1-p). so you can only speed up than by making more of the core parallel or increasing the single thread performance.
    look at it as driving form A to B but you got a speed limit of 120km/h (and you can't go faster) the distance between it is 240km so it takes 2 hours. no matter what you do. but you can get more cars trough the road by laying more roads

    I've found a Bitwise method for multiplying 2 numbers that does not require addition steps. My method can be done sequentially 2 bits at a time but it also can be done in parallel with each compute cell working on 2bits of each number due to the fact that in each step of the process you don't require any sequential information passing thus each of the 2 bit processes can be done independently of ever other 2 bit process. Although It seems as if I can achieve multiplication in a bit level parallelisable way I have still yet to achieve the same ability for addition. I suppose in my case the sequential part would be the 3 steps required to perform the multiplication. It would be wired after completion of my work I was to find that I had to use multiplication steps in order to achieve bitwise parallelization of addition functionality.

    Hi Douglas, I am too bored to read all that text about this law and verbally it sound simple and easy.....Very nice explanation, thanks for that...and kind of personal comment...you kind of look like "al pacino" and sound like him too...you know that ?

    great video!! but i have a question regarding the division of labor.so i have a code of which the 60% can be handled with parallel computing.that 60% is actualy 20% with K proccesors and 40% with N. K + N adds to a total of 5.The division of labor should be K = 3 and N = 2 right?

    This happened to me rendering videos! Waaaaaaah :'( At least I know why I only got a three minute gain after adding another processor. Also explains why my cores only run at 30% rendering DVD's. Glad I found this video. Lucky the power isn't wasted tho, Unreal Engine still gives the cores a serious thrashing.

    the graph seems wrong , cose for 0 processor it is taking 0 time !

    • @zeztro
      @zeztro 6 років тому +1

      The graph is the amount each core speeds the program up not time taken.
