latex2( $S p e e d u p = \frac{P e r f o r m a n c e u s i n g e n h a n c e m e n t w h e n p o s s i b l e}{P e r f o r m a n c e w i t h o u t e n h a n c e m e n t}$ ) }}}

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:

latex2( $S p e e d u p O v e r a l l = \frac{O l d E x e c u t i o n T i m e}{N e w E x e c u t i o n T i m e}$ )

This gives a new Execution time of

latex2( $N e w E x e c T i m e = O l d E x e c T i m e (1 - F r a c t i o n E n h a n c e d + \frac{F r a c t i o n E n h a n c e d}{S p e e d u p E n h a n c e d})$ )

So we have latex2($$SpeedupOverall=\frac{1}{1-FractionEnhanced + \frac{FractionEnhanced}{SpeedupEnhanced}})
