Amdahl’s Law in the Multicore Era

February 8th, 2009

This Google tech talk presentation by Mark D. Hill is very worthwhile to watch. Based on a few fundamental assumptions, Hill develops an extended version of Amdahl’s Laws and discusses whether processor designers should focus on improving the performance of single cores or on increasing the number of cores. He concludes that they should do both.
