Explanation:
in order to calculate the speedup again of an application that has a 60 percent parallel component using Anklahls Law is speedup which state that:

Where S is the portion of the application that must be performed serially, and N is the number of processing cores.
(a) For N = 2 processing cores, and a 60%, then S = 40% or 0.4
Thus, the speedup is:

Speedup gain is 1.428 times.
(b) For N = 4 processing cores and a 60%, then S = 40% or 0.4
Thus, the speedup is:

Speedup gain is 1.81 times.
