Abstract
Go Parallelization ! Use Amdahl's Law and Gustafson's law to measure the speedup factor
In details
Amdahl's Law Gustafson's law
10
Amdahls law: Suppose two cities are 60 km apart, a car has spent one hour travelling the first 30 km. No matter how fast it drives the last 30 km, it is impossible to achieve 90 km/h before arriving the destination
11
Gustafsons law: Suppose a car has already been travelling for some time at speed of less than 90km/h, and when given enough time and distance to travel, the cars average speed can reach 90km/h as long as it drives faster than 90 km/h for some time. And also the average speed can reach 120km/h and even 150km/h as long as it drives fast enough in the following part

Conclusion
Amdahls presumption of fixed data size is obviously a restriction which does not map into reality for many problems Both laws are in fact different perspective over the same truth one sees data size as fixed and the other sees the relation as a function of data size
