Hello,

Please read this, they say:

"Amdahl's law, also known as Amdahl's argument,[1] is used to find the 
maximum expected improvement to an overall system"

read here:

I think that's false, it's not the "maximum expected improvement to an 
overall system",  and i have explained to you why in my previous post , 
what i have explained is that the Amdahl equation gives you the 
scalability that you will have in an IDEAL CONTENTION SCENARIO , but if 
you have less contention it will scale much better, and in a none 
contention scenario it will have a perfect scalability,so  i have
proved to you and explainaed to you in my previous post that the 
Amadhal equation doesn't
give a correct picture. Hope you have understood my arguments and my 
ideas against the Amdahl equation.



Thank you,
Amine Moulay Ramdane.
