3865 GESA-F (T523572): a single-port fiber version compliant with the 1000
Base-SX standard (802..z)
gigabyte (GB). A unit of measurement equal to 1,073,741,824 bytes (1024 megabytes).
See also kilobyte (KB), megabyte (MB), and terabyte (TB).
global offset table (GOT). A table of indirect addresses of data, including function
descriptors, that might reside in a different loadfile. The GOT is an artifact of the native
compiler.
globalized. The import-control characteristic of a loadfile that allows it to import symbols
from any loadfile in the loadList of the program with which it is loaded. When those
loadfiles offer multiple definitions of the same symbol, those loadfiles are searched in
loadList sequence, and the first definition found takes precedence. See also
searchList.
GOT. See global offset table (GOT).
hexadecimal. A numbering system based on 16 rather than 10. The hexadecimal digits are
0 through 9 and A through F. Hexadecimal numbers are often prefaced with %H or 0X
to distinguish them from decimal numbers.
HP NonStop Kernel operating system. The operating system for HP NonStop systems.
HP NonStop S-Series servers. The HP NonStop servers having product numbers
beginning with the letter S. These servers implement the ServerNet architecture and
run the HP NonStop Kernel operating system.
HP NonStop TCP/IP. The HP implementation of Transmission Control Protocol/Internet
Protocol (TCP/IP) for the HP NonStop servers. See also Parallel Library TCP/IP.
HP Open System Management (OSM) Interface. Replacement for TSM as the system
management tool of choice for NonStop S-series servers. OSM provides the same
functionality as TSM while overcoming limitations of TSM. OSM is required for support
of new functionality released in G06.21 and later.
hybrid shared run-time library (hybrid SRL). A shared run-time library (SRL) that has
been augmented by the addition of a dynamic section that exports the SRL’s symbols
in a form that can be used by position independent code (PIC) clients. A hybrid SRL
looks like a dynamic-link library (DLL) to PIC clients (except it cannot be loaded at
other addresses and cannot itself link to DLLs). The code and data in the SRL are no
different in a hybrid SRL, and its semantics for non-PIC clients are unchanged.
IEEE 802.3. A Local Area Network protocol suite commonly known as Ethernet. Ethernet
has either a 10 Mbps or 1Mbps throughput and uses Carrier Sense Multiple Access
bus with Collision Detection CSMA/CD. This method allows users to share the network
cable. However, only one station can use the cable at a time. A variety of physical
medium dependent protocols are supported.
