Exercise 6. Use Amdahl’s Law to resolve the following questions:
 
-Suppose a computer program has a methodM that cannot be parallelized, and
that this method accounts for 40% of the program’s execution time. What is
the limit for the overall speedup that can be achieved by running the program
on an n-processor multiprocessor machine?
 
-Suppose the methodM accounts for 30% of the program’s computation time.
What should be the speedup ofM so that the overall execution time improves
by a factor of 2?
 
-Suppose the methodM can be sped up three-fold.What fraction of the overall
execution time mustM account for in order to double the overall speedup of
the program?
