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.

Answer / friend

The versatility of the Teradata Database is based on virtual
processors (vprocs)that eliminate dependency on specialized
physical processors. Vprocs are a set
of software processes that run on a node under the Teradata
Parallel Database Extensions (PDE) within the multitasking
environment of the operating
system.
