I've recently overheard some people talking about
Amdahl's law no longer being a hard and fasten rule
in measuring parallel proc. time.

I've been out of school for awhile so can some one
give me examples or cases Amdahl's law no longer
is appropriate and why?

I'm also new to this news group so if my question is
too basic, forgive me.
