-It is best to think of every core as a separate <b><i>virtual machine</i></b> or processing <b><i>slot</i></b> capable of running one process. The cores remain isolated because the computer cannot distribute a simple, stand-alone process between its cores without special instructions for doing so within the code itself. We will therefore refer interchangeably to cores, slots or virtual machines (of which there are 8 x 31 + 12 x 7 + 16 x 8) instead of computers or processors as independent computing units.<br>
