In the case of parallelization, Amdahl's law states that if P is the proportion of a program that can be made parallel and (1-P) is the proportion that cannot be parallelized, then the maximum speed-up that can be achieved by using N processors is:
A. 1/((1-P)+N.P)
B. 1/((N-1)P+P)
C. 1/((1-P)+P/N)
D. 1/(P+(1-P)/N)
Answer:C
