Multiple processors implemented Nr of distributed processors Nr of shared processors Start year development 1997 Does model development still take place? Yes If above answer is no, provide end year model development Code development status When did you indicate the 'code development status'? Model availability As executable"As executable" is not in the list (As code, As teaching tool) of allowed values for the "Model availability" property.
