When parallelizing an application, the ideal speedup is speeding up by the number of processors. This is limited by two things: percentage of the application that can be parallelized and the cost of communication. Amdahl's law takes into account the former but not the latter. a. What is the speedup with N processors if 80% of the application is parallelizable, ignoring the cost of communication

1. the program must provide following functions to extract some statistics. note that the data_list parameter specified in these functions may be the same for all functions or different for different functions—that is your choice. a skeleton file is provided on mirmir. a) open_file()prompts the user to enter a year number for the data file. the program will check whether the year is between 1990 and 2015 (both inclusive). if year number is valid, the program will try to open data file with file name ‘year. txt’, where is the year. appropriate error message should be shown if the data file cannot be opened or if the year number is invalid. this function will loop until it receives proper input and successfully opens the file. it returns a file pointer and year. i. hint: use string concatenation to construct the file name b) read_file(fp)has one parameter, a file pointer read. this function returns a list of your choosing containing data you need for other parts of this project. c) find_average(data_list) takes a list of data (of some organization of your choosing) and returns the average salary. the function does not print anything. hints: i. this is not the average of the last column of data. it is not mathematically valid to find an average by finding the average of averages—for example, in this case there are many more in the lowest category than in the highest category. ii. how many wage earners are considered in finding the average (denominator)

Which of the following factors would your hypothetical supervisor look at when deciding whether to test a biological material sample for dna? the amount of other evidence you have implicating a suspect in a crime the annual budget for the crime lab both of the above none of the above; you would almost always order a test

The open systems interconnection (osi) reference model: defines standards for many aspects of computing and communications within a network. is a generic description for how computers use multiple layers of protocol rules to communicate across a network. defines standards for wireless local area network (wlan) communication protocols. details the advantages and disadvantages of various basic network cabling options.
