Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Speedup is when programs run in order, one command at a time.
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Sequential computing is a computational model in which operations are performed in order one at a time. Parallel computing is a computational model where the program is broken into multiple smaller sequential computing operations, some of which are performed simultaneously.

Detailed explanation-2: -In computer architecture, speedup is a number that measures the relative performance of two systems processing the same problem. More technically, it is the improvement in speed of execution of a task executed on two similar architectures with different resources.

Detailed explanation-3: -Speedup tells us how much faster a task will run using the computer with the enhancement as opposed to the original computer. Amdahl’s Law gives us a quick way to find the speedup from some enhance-ment, which depends on two factors: 1.
