More workers, more overhead

More workers, more overhead

Choose a worker budget and coordination cost. Inspect the best integer choice inside that budget.

T(n) = 100/n + 2 + c(n − 1)

Synthetic chapter 18 model: T(n) = 100/n + 2 + c(n − 1) seconds. The first term shrinks as work is split; the last grows with coordination. This deterministic sensitivity lab does not run new Monte Carlo draws. The chapter and companion separately analyze uncertain parameters.
