[5] < §1.8> when a program is adapted to run on multiple processors in a multiprocessor system, the execution time on each processor is comprised of computing time and the overhead time required for locked critical sections and/or to send data from one processor to another. assume a program requires t = 100 s of execution time on one processor. when run p processors, each processor requires t/p s, as well as an additional 4 s of overhead, irrespective of the number of processors. compute the per-processor execution time for 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, and 128 processors. for each case, list the corresponding speedup relative to a single processor and the ratio between actual speedup versus ideal speedup (speedup if there was no overhead).

given the lack of choices, i'm gonna wing it and say that pushing your car off a cliff might not be the best idea. your car might sustain damage from the fall and will probably result in the car being too damaged to jump start.

if that's not good enough, avoid filling the car with bees. bees might get agitated when trapped or during the moving process, and might result in death or painful stings that will make jump starting your car very difficult. but in the event that you do choose to fill your car with bees, remember to wear protective gear!
