Abstract
The paper presents a certain version of Amdahl’s law intended for use with heterogeneous systems of parallel computation, which can be used to compare different technologies and configurations of parallel systems in a better way than a simple comparison of achieved speedups. A mathematical formulation of the law, derived from the known Amdahl’s law is presented. Next, the proposed law is used in simple comparison of performance of several computation devices. Finally, we use the law to estimate the performance limit of a certain heterogeneous parallel system equipped with GPU device and employing vector processing techniques.
