The speedup achieved in the DEM simulations of 2 mm particles. There was a linear increase up to 16 cores, then as the parallel efficiency decreased, plateauing of the speedup is observed.

speed-up is a way to measure parallel efficiency. Thus, saying, "... (consequence of) parallel efficiency decreased, plateauing of the speedup is observed." is misleading or tautological.

modified. I have removed the discussion about parallel efficiency altogether.
