Amdahl's Law Calculator
Calculate theoretical speedup from parallel processing
Back to Calculator Suite
How it works: Enter the fraction of code that can be parallelized and the number of processors to calculate the theoretical speedup according to Amdahl's Law.
Calculation Breakdown
Tips for Better Results
- Parallel fraction should be between 0 and 1 (0% to 100%)
- Higher parallel fractions show greater speedup potential
- Consider overhead costs not accounted for in Amdahl's Law
- Real-world performance may be lower due to communication overhead
