|
IRC
Internet Relay Chat, a place where IRC clients connect to an IRC server to participate in real time test conversations.
|
IRQ
Interrupt Request
|
ISA
A standard bus architecture associated with the IBM AT motherboards. It allows 16 bits at a time to flow between the motherboard circuitry and an expansion slot card and its associated device(s). [image]
|
ISP
Internet Service Provider
|
JBOD
Sometimes referred to as "Just a Bunch of Drives." Each drive is operated independently like a normal disk controller, or drives may be spanned and seen as a single drive. This level does not provide data redundancy.
|
JV3
flash memory megafab currently being built in conjunction with Fujitsu in Taiwan. Will be 100,000 square feet and produce up to 7,500 8 inch wafers per week. Production scheduled to begin in 2001.
|
K6-2
released in May of 1998. It is essentially a K6 processor with 3DNow! instructions.
|
K6-2+
new version of the K6-2 with an added 128KB of on-die L2 cache and PowerNow! technology. This version is meant for the laptop market only.
|
K6-III
a K6-2 with 256KB of on-die L2 cache. Uses cache on motherboard as an L3 cache.
|
K6-III+
new version of the K6-III with the addition of PowerNow! technology. This version if meant for the laptop market only.
|
K7
the code name of the Athlon before it was renamed. 7th generation cpu that followed up the K5 and K6 series.
|
K75
code name of the .18 micron core for the classic Athlon.
|
kbps
KiloBits Per Second, a unit of bits that is moved per second. Commonly found used to describe the throughput of analog modems. eg. 56kbps.
|
kHz
Stands for Kilo Hertz, unit of measurement for 1000 x Frequency.
|
KVM Switch
Console switch - Controls and scans multiple CPU's from one set of keyboard, video display and mouse.
|
L2 Cache
Level 2 Cache, the secondary cache memory found on CPU's, L2 Cache uses extremely high speed SRAM coupled with extremely low latencies which helps improve performance.
|
LAN
Local Area Network. Network of interconnected workstations sharing the resources of a single processor or server, typically within the area of a small office building.
|
LCD
Liquid Crystal Display
|
LIF
Light Insertion Force, when installing a peripheral, requires light force to insert the device into it's slot/socket. Installing expansion cards (PCI cards and such) require LIF in order to seat it properly.
|
Liquid Cooling
Method of cooling processors and other devices by liquid cooled water blocks. Similar in operation to heatsinks, but more efficient due to the high thermal conductivity of water.
|
Lithium-ion
Name for an electrochemical cells whose voltages are derived from the electropotential difference of lithium in the anode and cathode. The electrolyte contains lithium ions that are transferred between the anode and cathode on charge and discharge. Unlike earlier systems, lithium-ion does not use unstable lithium metal as the anode material.
|
Lokar
Code name for an upcomping server and workstation chipset from AMD.
