Program Plan Intro

Amdahl’s Law:

  • It denotes an observation on effectiveness of performance improving of a system part.
  • The main idea is that when one system part is been speed up the effect on overall system would depend on significance and speed up of the part.
  • Suppose the execution of an application needs “Told” time.
  • Some part of system may require a fraction “α” of this time and the performance is improved by a factor of “k”.
  • The overall execution time will be “Tnew=Told[(1-α)+α/k] ”.
  • The speed up can be computed as “S=Told/Tnew”.
  • Hence, the expression for speed up is “S=1/(1-α)+α/k”.

Suppose your computer is responding very slowly to information requests from the Internet. You observe that your network gateway shows high levels of network activity even though you have closed your e-mail client, Web browser, and all other programs that access the Internet. What types of malwares could cause such symptoms? What steps can you take to check whether malware has gained access to your system? What tools can you use at each step? If you identify malware, what ways might it have entered your system? How can you restore your PC to safe operation, including the special software tools you may use?
