You need to run two applications, A and B, on a Pentium processor with two identical cores. The CPU time for the first application (A) is 3 times of the second application (B). A has 50% of its code parallelizable (i.e. instructions can run at two cores simultaneously) and B has 80% code parallelizable. B can only start after A completes. How much overall system speedup can you achieve if you parallelized both applications?
