On one processor we have
T_1 = (1-f)W + fW = WOn p processors we have
T_p = (1-f)W + \frac{fW}{p},resulting in a speedup of
\frac{T_1}{T_p} = \frac{W}{(1-f)W+fW/p}As p goes to infinity, fW/p goes to zero, and the maximum speedup is
\frac{1}{1-f},meaning that if if f = 0.99 (all but 1\% parallelizable), the maximum speedup is 1/(1-.99)=100 !
