Amdahl's Law
     
         (Named after {Gene Amdahl}) If F is the fraction of
        a calculation that is sequential, and (1-F) is the fraction
        that can be parallelised, then the maximum {speedup} that can
        be achieved by using P processors is 1/(F+(1-F)/P).

        Achieving Large-Scale Computing Capabilities", AFIPS
