Introduction
• Intel
®
64 Architecture — An enhancement to Intel's IA-32 architecture, allowing
the processor to execute operating systems and applications written to take
advantage of Intel
®
64. Further details on Intel
®
64 architecture and programming
model can be found at http://developer.intel.com/technology/intel64/.
• Intel
®
Virtualization Technology (Intel
®
VT) — A set of hardware
enhancements to Intel server and client platforms that can improve virtualization
solutions. Intel
®
VT provides a foundation for widely-deployed virtualization
solutions and enables a more robust hardware assisted virtualization solution. More
information can be found at: http://www.intel.com/technology/virtualization/
• Unit Interval (UI) — Signaling convention that is binary and unidirectional. In
this binary signaling, one bit is sent for every edge of the forwarded clock, whether
it is a rising edge or a falling edge. If a number of edges are collected at instances
t
1
, t
2
, t
n
,...., t
k
then the UI at instance “n” is defined as:
UI
n
= t
n
– t
n – 1
• Jitter — Any timing variation of a transition edge or edges from the defined Unit
Interval.
• Storage Conditions — Refers to a non-operational state. The processor may be
installed in a platform, in a tray, or loose. Processors may be sealed in packaging or
exposed to free air. Under these conditions, processor lands should not be
connected to any supply voltages, have any I/Os biased, or receive any clocks.
• OEM — Original Equipment Manufacturer.
