ECC
Memory error correction used to provide protection from both transient errors and
device failures.
HDD
A hard disk drive is a traditional spinning hard drive.
InfiniBand
InfiniBand (IB) is a computer networking communications standard used in highperformance computing that features very high throughput and very low latency. It is
used for data interconnect both among and within computers. InfiniBand is also used
as either a direct or switched interconnect between servers and storage systems, as
well as an interconnect between storage systems.
Intel
Intel Corporation https://intel.com
iWARP
Internet Wide Area RDMA Protocol is a computer networking protocol that
implements remote direct memory access (RDMA) for efficient data transfer over
Internet Protocol networks.
NUMA
Nonuniform memory access, a platform where the time to access memory depends
on its location relative to the processor.
NVDIMM
A non-volatile dual inline memory module is a type of random-access memory for
computers. Non-volatile memory is memory that retains its contents even when
electrical power is removed, for example, from an unexpected power loss, system
crash, or normal shutdown.
NVMe
Non-volatile memory express is a specification for directly connecting SSDs on PCIe
that provides lower latency and higher performance than SAS and SATA.
ODM
Original Design Manufacturing refers to a producer/reseller relationship in which the
full specifications of a project are determined by the reseller rather than based on
the specs established by the manufacturer.
OEM
An original equipment manufacturer is a company that produces parts and
equipment that may be marketed by another manufacturer.
OS
Operating system
PCIe
Peripheral Component Interconnect Express is a high-speed serial communication bus.
Persistent
Memory
Persistent memory (PM or PMEM) provides persistent storage of data, is byte
addressable, and has near-memory speeds.
