    Hello Folks:

    In many computer architecture books (e.g. Hennessy and Patterson, page 17) and papers it is mentioned that : - " Amdahl-Case law states that a 1-MIPS machine is balanced when it has 1 megabyte of memory and 1-megabit per sec throughput of I/O."

    We have been trying to find the source of the above statement and have not been
    successful. Does anyone know the reasoning or the original source of the above
    law. Any information in this direction will be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks very much.
