What exactly makes part of a "platform" ? Is it the whole

which has numerous possible configurations. Is it for example
equivalent to what Acer calls "Aspire 5670", "Aspire 5023", etc?
So to rephrase your question.... What defines an architecture, and what
defines a platform?
I know there's someone else on this list leaping at the chance to answer
this in a way more satisfying way than I could. :)
If with "delete/add processors" you mean physically taking the CPU
package out of the computer, then no, this is not what we need.
Obviously because it is a simulation, but also because we are
targeting chip multiprocessors, which only have one package. If you
mean something else, could you clarify?
I mean add/delete from the software's point of view. That is for
deletion all data structures and state associated with the processor are
thrown away (the CPU is unconfigured from the system). But yea, i'm sort
of guessing you don't need to do that.
