Accelerated Gunning Transceiver Logic Plus (AGTL+)
A component designed for high-frequency data transfer. Tight timing control
for the propagation of signals is placed on the design of a computer using this
bus. The Intel AGTL+ specification defines an open drain bus with external pull-up
resistors providing termination to 1.5V. A separate power supply is required
to provide this termination voltage.
access
1) The read, write, or update information stored on a disk or other medium.
2) To read, write, or update stored information.
backup
To create a duplicate of all or part of the data and programs on a computer
system. The data is copied to a removable storage medium, such as a tape. Depending
on the type of backup, the tapes can be stored remotely (away from the main
system). Used as a noun, backup is the result of such a process.
bandwidth
The transmission capacity of a computer or a communications channel, typically
stated in megabits per second (Mb/s). For example, Ethernet has a bandwidth
of 10Mb/s. Fast Ethernet has a bandwidth of 100Mb/s. The width of a communications
channel, typically measured in bits per second (bps) in digital communications.
In analog communications, bandwidth is typically measured in Hertz (cycles per
second).
saturation
Brightness of color
shade
A color with the presenceof black. A darker shade of color.
tint
A color with the presence of white. A lighter shade of color.
