SIMM Single Inline Memory Module. A small circuit board with RAM
chips (normally surface mounted) on it designed to fit into a standard
slot.
SIO Super I/O controller
SMP Symmetric MultiProcessing. A computer architecture in which
tasks are distributed among two or more local processors.
SMT Surface Mount Technology. A method of mounting devices (such as
integrated circuits, resistors, capacitors, and others) on a printed
circuit board, characterized by not requiring mounting holes. Rather,
the devices are soldered to pads on the printed circuit board.
Surface-mount devices are typically smaller than the equivalent
through-hole devices.
software A computing system is normally spoken of as having two major
components: hardware and software. Software is the term used to
describe any single program or group of programs, languages,
operating procedures, and documentation of a computer system.
Software is the real interface between the user and the computer.
SRAM Static Random Access Memory
SSBLT Source Synchronous BLock Transfer
standard(s) A set of detailed technical guidelines used as a means of establishing
uniformity in an area of hardware or software development.
SVGA Super Video Graphics Array (IBM). An improved VGA monitor
standard that provides at least 256 simultaneous colors and a screen
resolution of 800 x 600 pixels.
Teletext One way broadcast of digital information. The digital information is
injected in the broadcast TV signal, VBI, or full field, The
transmission medium could be satellite, microwave, cable, etc. The
display medium is a regular TV receiver.
thick Ethernet See 10base-5.
thin Ethernet See 10base-2.
twisted-pair Ethernet See 10Base-T.
UART Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter
Universe ASIC developed by Tundra in consultation with Motorola, that
provides the complete interface between the PCI bus and the 64-bit
VMEbus.
