From New CPS615 Foils-- D 23 September 95 CPS615 Basic Simulation Track for Computational Science -- Fall Semester 95. by Geoffrey C. Fox
1 Processors doing 9 or 12 updates must wait for those doing 16 to finish
2 T1 = 196 tcalc T16 = 16 tcalc as all that counts is maximum amount of work done by any one processor
3 Speed up degraded by load imbalance is: Sload = 196/16 = 12.25 This is speed up ignoring degradation due to communications
