Mersenne: SMP GIMPSing And Sharing The Burden

[Stefan Struiker]

Team M:

Does the L-L process lend itself to some parallelization
(not the running of multiple copies) over N processors?

I have a short monograph on Amdahl's Law to squeeze out,
and I thought I might use L-L as an example, bad or good.

                                   Best To All,
                                         Stefanovic

PS:  Amdahl's Law relates Maximum Speedup to a fraction f ( < 1 ) of
ops that must be done sequentially, and the number p of available
processors:

                        1  /  MaxSpeedRoom  =  f + (1 - f)  / p
