Resources
Each core on the XS1-G4 has access to:
- 64 KByte of RAM
- 64 I/O pins that can be accessed using 28 ports: 16 ports access 16 single pins, the other 12 ports access nibbles, bytes, and words of pins.
- 32 channel ends; each channel end can be connected to another channel end setting up a uni directional communication path. Two channels can be set up to point to each other creating a bi directional path.
- 10 timers
The total number of data pins on an XS1-G4 is 256, requiring a 512-pin BGA to bring out all pins (including ground, power, and system pins). The 144 pin BGA only brings out 48 pins of two cores, effectively providing two cores for processing only, and two cores for both processing and I/O.

Famous quotes containing the word resources:
“Parenting, as an unpaid occupation outside the world of public power, entails lower status, less power, and less control of resources than paid work.”
—Nancy Chodorow, U.S. professor, and sociologist. The Reproduction of Mothering Psychoanalysis and the Sociology of Gender, ch. 2 (1978)
“Somehow we have been taught to believe that the experiences of girls and women are not important in the study and understanding of human behavior. If we know men, then we know all of humankind. These prevalent cultural attitudes totally deny the uniqueness of the female experience, limiting the development of girls and women and depriving a needy world of the gifts, talents, and resources our daughters have to offer.”
—Jeanne Elium (20th century)
“Everywhere we are told that our human resources are all to be used, that our civilization itself means the uses of everything it has—the inventions, the histories, every scrap of fact. But there is one kind of knowledge—infinitely precious, time- resistant more than monuments, here to be passed between the generations in any way it may be: never to be used. And that is poetry.”
—Muriel Rukeyser (1913–1980)
