Resumen:

A popular argument, generally attributed to Amdahl, is that vector and parallel architectures should not be carried to extremes because the scalar or serial portion of the code will eventually dominate. Since pipeline stages and extra processors obviously add hardware cost, a corollary to this argument is that the most cost-effective computer is one based on uniprocessor, scalar principles. For architectures that are both parallel and vector, the argument is compounded, making it appear that near-optimal performance on such architectures is a near-impossibility.
