ISP Information:
In response to Amdahl's Law on limitation of effectiveness of parallel computing due to a serial (non-parallelizable) component of code, Gustafson's Law was developed to show that you can achieve over a 1000-fold speed-up using 1024 processors. It states that if the size of most problems is increased sufficiently, you can achieve any given efficiency by increasing the amount of processors.
