The following script can be used to calculate the speedup and efficiency of a parallel code when compared to its serial version. Pretty much straight forward process. This script can be used either individually or as part of another script to automate the process of generating the required results. It accepts three arguments: 1) serial execution time 2) parallel execution time 3) number of processors.
./SEcalc.sh <serial> <parallel> <procs>
