Karp-Flatt Metric
Formula: Significance: Quantifies the empirical parallel efficiency and identifies the portion of a parallel program that does not scale well.
Scale-Up
Formula: Significance: Measures the system's ability to handle larger problems as the number of processors increases.
Gustafson's Law
Formula: Significance: Provides an alternative to Amdahl's Law, emphasizing scalability with problem size.
Compute-to-Communication Ratio
Formula: Significance: Indicator of the balance between computation and communication in parallel processing.
Speedup (S)
Formula: Significance: Measures the performance improvement gained by parallel processing.
Throughput
Formula: Significance: Indicates the rate at which tasks are being completed by the system.
Parallel Overhead (T_{overhead})
Formula: Significance: Accounts for the additional work and time associated with managing parallel tasks.
Resource Utilization
Formula: Significance: Reflects the extent to which the available processing power is being used effectively.
Amdahl's Law
Formula: Significance: Predicts the maximum possible speedup of a computation, considering its serial and parallel components.
Efficiency (E)
Formula: Significance: Reflects the portion of the time for which a processor is usefully utilized.
Load Imbalance
Formula: Significance: Represents inefficiency due to uneven distribution of work among processors.
Isoefficiency Function
Formula: Significance: Defines the work size for which the efficiency of the parallel system remains constant as the number of processors is increased.
