        What does "FP underpinnings for scalability" mean? 

I said the server. I'm talking about the server (e.g., kcb,kcr,etc etc
etc). If 
you have an app that consists of endless PL/SQL  loop of computations on
a 
single BINARY_FLOAT datatype in a single row, then FPU would be of
interest. The
engine is not the place to do application fp ops.

So, to answer the the original post,  the T2000 scalability RE fpu will
not cause
a database scalability problem.
