TNS/E
TNS/E. Fault-tolerant HP NonStop computers that support the HP NonStop operating
system and are based on the Intel® Itanium® processor. TNS/E systems run the
Itanium instruction set and can run TNS object files by interpretation or after
acceleration. TNS/E systems include all HP NonStop systems that use NSE-x
processors. Contrast with TNS mode and user code.
TNS/E library. A TNS/E native-mode library. TNS/E libraries are always dynamic-link
libraries (DLLs); there is no native shared run-time library (SRL) format.
TNS/E native C compiler. The C compiler that generates TNS/E object files.
TNS/E native compiler. A compiler in the TNS/E development environment that generates
TNS/E native object code, following the TNS/E native-mode conventions for memory,
stack, registers, and call linkage. The TNS/E native C compiler is an example of such a
compiler.
TNS/E native mode. The primary execution environment on a TNS/E system, in which
native-compiled Intel® Itanium® object code executes, following TNS/E native-mode
compiler conventions for data locations, addressing, stack frames, registers, and call
linkage.
TNS/E native object code. The Intel® Itanium® instructions that result from processing
program source code with a TNS/E native compiler. TNS/E native object code
executes only on TNS/E systems, not on TNS systems or TNS/R systems.
TNS/E native object file. An object file created by a TNS/E native compiler that contains
Intel® Itanium® instructions and other information needed to construct the code
spaces and the initial data for a TNS/E native process.
TNS/E native process. A process initiated by executing a TNS/E native object file.
TNS/E native signal. A signal model available to TNS/E native processes in both the
Guardian and HP NonStop Open System Services (OSS) environments. TNS/E native
signals are used for error exception handling.
TNS/E native user library. A user library available to TNS/E native processes in both the
Guardian and HP NonStop Open System Services (OSS) environments. A TNS/E
native user library is implemented as a TNS/E native dynamic-link library (DLL).
TNS/R. Fault-tolerant HP NonStop computers that support the HP NonStop operating
system and are based on 32-bit reduced instruction-set computing (RISC) technology.
TNS/R systems run the MIPS-1 RISC instruction set and can run TNS object files by
interpretation or after acceleration. TNS/R systems include all HP systems that use
NSR-x processors. Contrast with TNS mode and TNS/E.
TNS/R library. A TNS/R native-mode library. For a PIC-compiled application, TNS/R
libraries can be dynamic-link libraries (DLLs) or hybridized native shared run-time
libraries (SRLs). For an application that is not PIC compiled, TNS/R libraries can only
be native SRLs.
