Glossary-4
monitor
monitor. A system process that performs housekeeping tasks and creates and deletes
processes in its processor module.
named process. A process to which a process name was assigned when the process was
created. Contrast with unnamed process.
native-compiled RISC instructions. See RISC instructions.
native mode. See TNS/R native mode.
native object code. See TNS/R native object code
native object file. See TNS/R native object file.
native process. See TNS/R native process.
native signal. See TNS/R native signal.”
network. Two or more nodes linked together for intersystem communication.
node. A system of one or more processors. Although the term is meaningful only when
more than one system is linked into a network, the design of HP systems for operation
in networks makes this term preferable to “system” in many contexts.
node name. The portion of a file name that identifies the system through which the file can
be accessed.
node number. The internal identifier for the node on which file access occurs.
NonStop Open System Services (OSS). An application programmatic interface (API) to
the HP NonStop operating system and associated tools and utilities. See to Open
System Services (OSS) for a more complete definition.
NSR-L processor. The NonStop System RISC Model L processor (NSR-L processor) is the
first HP NonStop Series/RISC processor.
object file. A file, generated by a compiler or binder, that contains machine instructions and
other information needed to construct the code spaces and initial data for a process.
The file may be a complete program that is ready for immediate execution, or it may be
incomplete and require binding with other object files before execution.
Open System Services (OSS). An open system environment available for interactive or
programmatic use with the HP NonStop operating system. Processes that run in the
OSS environment use the OSS application program interface; interactive users of the
OSS environment use the OSS shell for their command interpreter. Contrast with
Guardian.
OSS. See Open System Services (OSS).
