As I count it, the T800 has a (possible) total of 15 parallel activities: - execute 'normal' instructions (1) - execute FPU instructions (1) - do input on 4 links (4) - do output on 4 links (4) - wait for event input (1) - wait for timer expiration (high/low) (2) - wait for time-slice to expire (1) - do transfers from/to memory (1) From a programmer's point of view, you can certainly have the first four activities in the list as nine seperate processes actually doing something (i.e., modifying the contents of memory).
