Suppose we are using a dual core processor and we run 2 applications (1 with 80% resource requirements and the other with 20% resource requirements).

Now the first program is parallelizable for 40% and the second one not parallelizable.

My question is what would be the speed up achieved in this case.

By speed-up i mean the ratio between the execution times before and after parallelization.
