Hey;
npars and vpars are 2 of the three levels of HPs virtualization paradigm. They both have excellent growth potential as they are not in conflict with each other.
Npars are used to divide cell based systems where the unit of division is the cell.
vpars are used to divide systems or further divide npars into virtual systems in which the unit(s) of division are cpus and I/O channels.
The third level of virtualization is Integrity virtual machines which can effectively share just about everything.
