I will revisit Amdahl’s Law establishing the relation Marchesin, Cheng-Kai Chen, Chris Ho, Kwan-Liu Ma between CPU and I/O in a balanced computer system, and use Visualizing Flow Trajectories Using Locality-based Rendering this to analyze current computing architectures and workloads. I and Warpes Curve Plots, Chad Jones, Kwan-Liu Ma will discuss how existing hardware can be used to build systems Superquadric Glyphs for Symmetric Second-Order Tensors, that are much closer to an ideal Amdahl machine.
