What is parallel speedup?

Parallel speedup refers to the improvement in the execution time or performance of a program when it is executed on multiple processors or cores simultaneously, compared to when it is executed on a single processor. It is a measure of the efficiency and effectiveness of parallel computing, indicating how much faster a program can be executed in parallel compared to serial execution. The parallel speedup is typically calculated as the ratio of the execution time of the program on a single processor to the execution time on multiple processors.
