- A formula which gives the theoretical speed-up in latency of the execution of a task at fixed workload that can be expected of a system whose resources are improved. Amdahl’s Law states that “the overall performance improvement gained by optimizing a single part of a system is limited by the fraction of time that the improved part is actually used.” It is named after computer scientist Gene Amdahl, and was first presented in 1967. ← Wikipedia
