Amdahl's Law

Amdahl's Law is a principle used to predict the speedup of a computing task when only part of it is improved. It states that if you enhance a portion of a process, the overall improvement is limited by the unchanged parts. For example, if 75% of a program can be sped up, the maximum possible speedup is less than four times. This law highlights that optimizing only a fraction of a task won't lead to proportional improvements, emphasizing the importance of addressing the entire process for significant gains in performance.
