8800 Gigabit Ethernet 4-port ServerNet adapter
(G4SA)
8800 Gigabit Ethernet 4-port ServerNet adapter (G4SA). See Gigabit Ethernet 4-port
ServerNet adapter (G4SA).
8840 Fibre Channel ServerNet adapter (FCSA). See Fibre Channel ServerNet adapter
(FCSA).
A. See ampere (A).
A0CINFO file. A distribution subvolume (DSV) file that contains information about a product
and each of its files, including product and file dependencies, how the files are used
and where they are placed, and which type of processor the product runs on. Every
product and software product revision (SPR) to be managed by Distributed Systems
Management/Software Configuration Manager (DSM/SCM) is distributed in a
subvolume, and that subvolume must contain the product’s A0CINFO file.
absolute pathname. An Open System Services (OSS) pathname that begins with a
slash (/) character and is resolved beginning with the root directory. Contrast with
relative pathname
.
AC. See alternating current (AC).
accelerate. To speed up emulated execution of a TNS object file by applying the
Accelerator for TNS/R system execution before running the object file.
accelerated mode. See TNS accelerated mode.
accelerated object code. The MIPS RISC instructions (in the MIPS region) that result from
processing a TNS object file with the Accelerator.
accelerated object file. A TNS object file that, in addition to its TNS instructions (in the
TNS region) and symbol information (in the symbol region), has been augmented by
the Accelerator with equivalent but faster MIPS RISC instructions (in the MIPS region).
Accelerator. A program optimization tool that processes a TNS object file and produces an
accelerated object file that also contains equivalent MIPS RISC instructions (called the
MIPS region). TNS object code that is accelerated runs faster on TNS/R processors
than TNS object code that is not accelerated.
Accelerator-generated MIPS RISC instructions. See MIPS RISC instructions.
Accelerator-generated RISC instructions. See MIPS RISC instructions.
Accelerator mode. The TNS/R operational environment in which an object file containing
MIPS RISC instructions (called the MIPS region) executes. Contrast with TNS/R native
mode.
Accelerator region of an object file. The region (called the MIPS region) of an object file
that contains MIPS RISC instructions and tables necessary to execute the object file
