Line 11: Line 11:
Notice that we are talking about the entire task here and that performance (speedup) is defined in terms of execution time! So we have to define the following:

{{{
                  Old Execution Time
SpeedupOverall = --------------------
                  New Execution Time

                                                                    FractionEnhanced
New Execution Time = Old Execution Time ( (1 - FractionEnhanced) + ------------------ )
                                                                    SpeedupEnhanced

-->
                                     1
SpeedupOverall = --------------------------------------------
                                         FractionEnhanced
               (1 - FractionEnhanced) + ------------------ )
                                         SpeedupEnhanced

}}}

           Performance for entire task using the enhancement when possible
Speedup = -----------------------------------------------------------------
              Performance for entire taks without using the enhancement
