architecture(The design of application software incorporating protocols and the means for expansion and interfacing with other programs; The physical construction or design of a computer system and its components)
non-uniform memory access(Access by a CPU of local as well as foreign memory. This process, which is enabled by NUMA architecture, results in different access speeds); NUMA(Access by a CPU of local as well as foreign memory. This process, which is enabled by NUMA architecture, results in different access speeds)
MCA(The design of the bus in IBM PS/2 computers (except Models 25 and 30). The Micro Channel is electrically and physically incompatible with the IBM PC/AT bus. Unlike the PC/AT bus, the Micro Channel functions as either a 16-bit or a 32-bit bus. The Micro Channel also can be driven independently by multiple bus master processors)
NUMA architecture(" A multiprocessor architecture that divides a system into nodes. Each node might include one or more processors, some memory, and a bus. A node's memory is "local" to its processors, and the processors can access the memory relatively quickly. Processors in one node can also access memory in different ("distant") nodes, but access time is slower.")
DRDA(A connection protocol for distributed relational database processing used by IBM relational database products that comprises protocols for communication between an application and a remote database, and communication between databases. DRDA also provides the connections for remote and distributed processing. The Distributed Data Management Architecture provides the base architecture for DRDA)
SMP(A multiprocessing operation in which multiple processors share the same memory, which contains one copy of the operating system, one copy of any applications that are in use, and one copy of the data. Because the operating system divides the workload into tasks and assigns those tasks to whatever processors are available, SMP reduces transaction time)
reduced instruction set computing(A microprocessor design that focuses on rapid and efficient processing of a relatively small set of simple instructions. RISC architecture limits the number of instructions that are build into the microprocessor, but optimizes each so it can be carried out very rapidly-usually within a single clock cycle)
Grid(ориентированный на виртуализацию сетевых вычислений способ организации вычислительного процесса, когда части задачи распределяются по всем свободным, часто географически разнесённым, ресурсам сети. Одно из перспективных направлений развития ПО. Крупные проекты по созданию Grid-систем: TeraGrid (США) и DataGrid (ЕС) ssn)
cache coherent non-uniform memory access(архитектура многопроцессорной системы с кэш-когерентным доступом к неоднородной оперативной памяти ssn); cache coherent NUMA(архитектура многопроцессорной системы с кэш-когерентным доступом к неоднородной оперативной памяти ssn)
