	Paper reading 4:
	1. Read "Validity of the Single Processor Approach to Achieving Large-Scale Computing Capabilities" by Gene Amdahl. Comment on the following: How long is this paper? How much of it is about Amdahl’s Law? What other comments about parallelism are there besides Amdahl’s Law? 2. Read "Parallel Programmer Productivity: A Case Study of Novice Parallel Programmers" by Hochstein et al. Comment on the following: What programming styles were investigated? What was methodology? How would you redesign the experiment they did? What other metrics would be important to capture? Assuming these results of programming productivity reflect the real world, what should architectures of the future do (or not do)?
