Your company has just brought a new 22-core processor, and you have been tasked with optimizing your software for this processor. You will run four applications on this system, but the resource requirements are not equal. Assume the system and application characteristics listed in table 1.1 Table 1.1 Four Applications

Application	A	B	C	D
% resources needed	41	27	18	14
% parallelizable	50	80	60	90

The percentage of resources of assuming they are all run in serial. Assume that when you parallelize a portion of the program by X, the speedup for that portion is X.

a. How much speedup would result from running application A on the entire 22-core processor, as compared to running it serially?

b. How much speedup would result from running application D on the entire 22-core processor, as compared to running it serially?

c. Given the application, A requires 41% of the resources, if we statically assign it 41% of the cores, what is the overall speedup if A is run parallelized but everything else is run serially?
