Hi transputer users,

Can someone tell me the exact definition of a dynamically
reconfigurable machine.  I have 2 definitions:
 
 --  A machine, in which at any instant of time we could use a 
     configuration of processors which is a subset of the configuration              of the the whole set of available processors in the system. 
   (Or is this static reconfiguration as we do not really change the
   underlying configuration)?

 --  A machine in which the set of processors are reconfigured some
     time during the execution of some program. That is, in this case, 
     the underlying configuration of processors is changed in the 
     middle of some program execution. (Is this possible at all) ?

Which of the above definitons are correct ? 

I would like to know if the Parsytec's transputer board with 16
transpters supports dynamic reconfiguration as defined in my second
definition above.


Thanks in advance.
