I think that Amdahl Law is the reason why many engineers follow the full concurrency route instead of exploring parallelism more extensively, and that is a shame because while the theoretical limit of concurrency is higher, in practice the many, complex and sometimes mind boggling problems related to synchronisation can prevent such gains, and the problems don’t scale in a nice way, to put it mildly. On the other hand, parallelism scales nicely, and is mostly simple with a few rules. |
