If a V8's Management system turns of 4 cylinders when not needed what would YOU call it?
It's mode of operation at any given time is what describes it most accurately but only while it is in that mode.
We can argue endlessly about the engine's configuration, capabilities, where it spends the most of it's time etc etc and that's one of the problems ... or opportunities for marketers:)
To me, the engine example is akin to hardware and software/firmware in a microcontroller. Another analogy is SE and PP. This is the configuration, (the hardware, V8 or V6). But PP could run in various classes either permanently or conditionally, akin to the programming in the V8 that can turn cylinders off.
