GB
GB. See gigabyte (GB).
GCSC. See Global Customer Support Center (GCSC).
general-purpose register (GPR). One of a small number of undedicated high-speed
memory locations in a processor.
generic process. A process created and managed by the Kernel subsystem; also known as
a system-managed process. A common characteristic of a generic process is
persistence
.
GESA. See Gigabit Ethernet ServerNet adapter (GESA).
G4SA. See Gigabit Ethernet 4-Port ServerNet adapter (G4SA).
Gigabit Ethernet ServerNet adapter (GESA). A single-port ServerNet adapter that
provides 1000 megabits/second (Mbps) data transfer rates between HP NonStop™
S-series systems and Ethernet LANs. A GESA can be directly installed in slots 51
through 54 of an I/O enclosure and slots 53 and 54 of a processor enclosure.
Two versions of the GESA are available:
•
3865 GESA-C (T523572): a single-port copper version compliant with the 1000
Base-T standard (802.3ab)
•
3865 GESA-F (T523572): a single-port fiber version compliant with the 1000
Base-SX standard (802.z)
Gigabit Ethernet 4-Port ServerNet adapter (G4SA). A multiport ServerNet adapter that
provides 1000 megabits/second (Mbps) data transfer rates between HP NonStop™
S-series systems and Ethernet LANs. The G4SA is installed in slots 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 of
an I/O adapter module (IOAM)
. There are two IOAMs in an I/O adapter module
enclosure (IOAM enclosure), so a total of 10 G4SAs can be installed in an enclosure.
The G4SA is the only LAN adapter supported for the IOAM enclosure. Although the
G4SA supersedes the Ethernet 4 ServerNet adapter (E4SA)
, Fast Ethernet ServerNet
adapter (FESA), and the Gigabit Ethernet ServerNet adapter (GESA), it cannot be
installed in an HP NonStop™ S-series enclosure.
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 Customer Support Center (GCSC). A support organization that provides telephone
and remote diagnostic support for HP customers. GCSCs are located all over the
world. See also Online Support Center (OSC)
.
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.
