terabyte (TB)
terabyte (TB). A unit of measurement equal to 1,099,511,627,776 bytes (1024 gigabytes).
See also gigabyte (GB), kilobyte (KB), and megabyte (MB).
TIM. See HP NonStop™ Technical Library (NTL).
TNS. Refers to fault-tolerant HP computers that support the NonStop OS and are based on
microcoded complex instruction-set computing (CISC) technology. TNS systems run
the TNS instruction set. Contrast with TNS/R and TNS/E.
TNS/R. Refers to fault-tolerant HP computers that support the NonStop OS 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 and TNS/E.
TNS/E. See NonStop NS-series.
Token-Ring ServerNet adapter (TRSA). A ServerNet adapter that provides a single line
from an HP NonStop™ server to a token-ring network, allowing the server to act as a
station on the ring. The 3862 TRSA can be configured to support network speeds of 4
megabits/second (Mbps) or 16 Mbps.
user-addressable data space. Flat, nonprivileged memory space beginning at base
address 0x0800.0000 for QIO.
WAN. See wide area network (WAN).
wide area network (WAN). A network that operates over a larger geographical area than a
local area network (LAN); typically, an area with a radius greater than one kilometer.
The elements of a WAN may be separated by distances great enough to require
telephone communications.
wild-card character. A character that stands for any possible character or characters in a
search string or in a name applying to multiple objects. In Subsystem Control Facility
(SCF) object-name templates, two wild-card characters appear: ? for a single character
and * for zero or more consecutive characters. See also object-name template.
$ZNET. The name of the Subsystem Control Point (SCP) management process.
$ZPM. The name of the persistence manager process.
