Consider a program where 25% of its execution is serial and the remainder is “embarrassingly parallel” (i.e., its performance scales linearly in the number of cores for an arbitrary number of cores). a. What is the maximum possible speedup that can be achieved for the program? b. For a system with 8 cores, what is the maximum speedup that can be achieved?
