From the University of Washington, the University of Wisconsin-Madison's Mark Hill shares his work developing a corollary to Amdahl's Law for multicore chips. This method models fixed chip resources for alternative designs that use symmetric cores, asymmetric cores or dynamic techniques that allow cores to work together on sequential execution. The results encourage multicore designers to view performance of the entire chip rather than focus on core efficiencies.
