Gustafson's Law

Gustafson’s Law explains how a computer system's overall performance can improve with increased processing power, especially when working on larger or more complex tasks. Instead of focusing on how fast a single task is completed, it considers that we can tackle bigger problems by adding more processors, and this additional capacity allows for proportionally more work in the same amount of time. In essence, as systems grow, their ability to handle larger workloads improves linearly—more processors mean more overall work, making parallel computing more efficient than just speeding up single tasks.
