    Patent number: 5493681
    Abstract: Alternative instances of an element class are configured in a software system. In one instance, called a single element instance, the software system is configured to support a single element of a class of existing hardware/software elements, called an element class. In another instance, called a multiple element instance, the software system is configured to support multiple elements of the element class. For example, the single element instance might utilize only a single central processing unit (CPU), whereas the multiple element instance allows for several different CPUs to be utilized.
