Why AMP & PE are called Vprocs?..

Answer / selvaraj

Both AMP and PE are implemented using software and thus the
word Virtual processor. There is no special hardware (like
a special microprocessor) implementation required AMP and
PE to function. This is quite well explained in their
documentation "Introduction to Terdada Warehouse" page 49.
Hope this helps.
