Answer:
CPU need 50% much faster
disk need 100% much faster
Explanation:
given data
workload spend time CPU = 60%
workload spend time I/O = 40%
achieve overall system speedup = 25%
to find out
How much faster does CPU need and How much faster does the disk need
solution
we apply here Amdahl’s law for the overall speed of a computer that is express as
S = .............................1
here f is fraction of work i.e 0.6 and S is overall speed i.e 100% + 25% = 125 % and k is speed up of component
so put all value in equation 1 we get
S =
1.25 =
solve we get
k = 1.5
so we can say CPU need 50% much faster
and
when f = 0.4 and S = 125 %
put the value in equation 1
S =
1.25 =
solve we get
k = 2
so here disk need 100% much faster
