Primes

• Bottleneck

  • This sourceScaled-speedup counterpoint to Amdahl's law for problems that grow with processor count. Biblio reference (never cited in body).

• Concurrency

  • This sourceProposes scaled (fixed-time) speedup, countering Amdahl's fixed-problem-size assumption. Tier C (bibliography only; duplicated in source). DOI verified.

• Scalability
  • Listed in the references but not attached to a specific claim.

Domain-specific

• Amdahl's Law
  • Their larger speedups answer different questions.

    This sourcePrimary scaled/fixed-time contrast.

• Sun–Ni Law
  • is Gustafson's scaled-speedup formula.

Verification

This reference passed the adversarial substantiation pipeline: it was checked to exist and to support the claim it is attached to. See how references were verified.
