Amdahl’s law - Example 2 (contd.)
 
 
- Design 1: F = 0.2, Se = 10 , So = ? 
- Design 2: F = 0.5 , Se = 2, So = ? 
- Now, how will you measure the times for new and improved FP operations without building the system? Simulation? Quantitative analysis?
- Alternative: Comparisons based on equation that decomposes CPU execution time into three separate components.
