Parallel Processor Differences
1-3
Comparison of the ’C80 and the ’C82
1.2 Parallel Processor Differences
The most important difference related to the parallel processors
(PPs) is the number of PPs per chip: the ’C80 has four PPs and
the ’C82 has two.
Since the ’C82 has two PPs, software written to execute on both
the ’C80 and ’C82 must not require more than two PPs. Software
that can use up to four PPs but that requires only two PPs will run
on both devices.
The number of PPs on a chip can be counted through software.
This allows you to optimize your software’s use of available PPs.
See subsection 2.2.4,
Counting the Number of PPs, for a descrip-
tion of how your software can determine the number of available
PPs.
