What kind of computer processors/systems run the sims?

Pop into the W0X0F_2P2 thread and ask there. He's quick with a good answer.

I believe what you talk about is done, as it is a defined procedure, but since time is money in the sims, there's an abbreviation you say that indicates you've done the proper pa's. Again, ask W0X0F.
