Amdahl's law really hurts. In sequential programming you often think that a relatively cheap operation, like an extra linear pass through the data, doesn't matter. The focus is entirely on complexity. In parallel programming that's not good, because quite often you can't effectively parallelize operations that are linear time because of memory bottlenecks. So you need to avoid them altogether or you'll get killed by Amdahl's law. The latest comments added to the Post, Amdahl's Law 44516 Sat, 27 Feb 2010 13:15:35 Z roman_pearce roman_pearce
