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?

Amdahl’s law states that the performance improvement by using enhanced mode is determined by how much time the enhanced mode can be applied. If the enhanced mode can be applied for 50% of the original execution time, then the speedup will be 2.

5. Describe the challenges with bone cements. State 1 additive that is commonly introduced into bone cement, and describe the benefit of the additive (purpose) and also any conditions in which there would be a negative effect from the additive. You may use the journal club paper as an example for this question or the conclusion of our in class exercise.
