A group of network support functions that monitor and sustain segment operation, activities that are concerned with, but not limited to, failure detection, notification, location, and repairs that are intended to eliminate faults and keep a segment in an operational state and support activities required to provide the services of a subscriber access network to users/subscribers
Operating systems perform basic tasks, such as recognizing input from the keyboard, sending output to the display screen, keeping track of files and directories on the disk, and controlling peripheral devices, such as disk drives and printers. It ensures that different programs and users running at the same time do not interfere with each other. The operating system is also responsible for security, ensuring that unauthorized users do not access the system. Operating systems provide a software platform on top of which other programs, called application programs, run
Executive decision-making body within the Open Systems Group
Within SPEC, this group works on benchmarks for evaluating the performance of systems running open (or publicly defined) operating systems (e.g., UNIX and its derivations, as well as NT and VMS)
Object code is commonly the product of running source code through a compiler. It is usually a binary representation of the program statements translated into a form that is understood natively by the processor
Facilities without a raised floor utilize overhead ducted supply air to cool equipment. Ducted overhead supply systems are typically limited to a cooling capacity of 100 W/ft2 (Telcordia 2001)
