Our mission is to lead the storage industry worldwide in developing and promoting standards, technologies, and educational services to empower organizations in the management of information. Made up of member companies spanning the global storage market, the SNIA connects the IT industry with end-to-end storage and information management solutions. From vendors, to channel partners, to end users, SNIA members are dedicated to providing the industry with a high level of knowledge exchange and thought leadership. An important part of our work is to deliver vendor-neutral and technology-agnostic information to the storage and data management industry to drive the advancement of IT technologies, standards, and education programs for all IT professionals.

The terms go through a rigorous technical review and approval process by the SNIA Technical Council to assure their accuracy. The SNIA Technical Council is a group of industry technical experts elected by the members of the SNIA to guide the SNIA’s technical efforts. Their extensive individual technical backgrounds cover all aspects of storage. The reader should recognize that in this rapidly evolving field, new terminology is constantly being introduced, and common usage is shifting. The SNIA regards this dictionary as a living document, to be updated as necessary to reflect a consensus on common usage, and SNIA Dictionary v.2015.1.ENG encourages readers to treat it in that spirit. Comments and suggestions for improvement are gratefully accepted at any time, with the understanding that any submitter of comments or suggestions contributes them to SNIA; and SNIA will therefore own the rights to them. Comments and suggestions may be directed to [email protected]. Proposals for new terms or definitions, or modifications to existing ones, should be submitted on the form located at: http://www.snia.org/education/dictionary/submittal Currently the dictionary is published online and in PDF format approximately every six months--in spring and fall. A paper version is published, with sponsorship opportunities, each spring.

Copyright © 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 Storage Networking Industry Association, All Rights Reserved. Last updated March 13, 2015. SNIA Dictionary v.2015.1.ENG Definition Format The format for definitions has changed as of the last half of 2008. Terms are now defined as much as possible using the substitution principle, which states that a term's definition should be substitutable for the term itself in a sentence. In the case that more text is required or deemed helpful, it is contained in one or more separate paragraphs after the definition itself. This text is informative in nature, and while intended to be accurate, is not technically part of the definition itself. Deprecated Synonyms In many cases, as technology develops, companies are forced to invent new terminology to describe innovations in their products. As the technology matures and vendors attempt to compete and compare their products with others, one or two terms become the most widely used, yet a number of other terms may remain in some use which are basically synonyms for the widely used terms. This causes confusion in the marketplace. To encourage crispness and uniformity in product descriptions, this dictionary lists synonyms of this type as "Deprecated synonym for xxxx," where xxxx is the term determined to have become canonical in the industry. This is to indicate both the meaning of xxxx and guide the reader toward use of the more canonical term. In cases where a synonym is not deprecated, the SNIA does not endorse the use of one synonym over another. Definitions taken from standards documents The SNIA has a strong interest in keeping definitions harmonized across various industry groups and national and international standards bodies. Towards this end, some definitions, especially those pertaining to Fibre Channel and SCSI terms and technologies, have been quoted from the appropriate version of the INCITS standard. In all such cases, the INCITS standard is authoritative. The SNIA dictionary may include terms defined in the the following standards and draft standards: INCITS 302-1998, SCSI Parallel Interface - 2 (SPI-2) INCITS 367-2003, SCSI Parallel Interface - 5 (SPI-5) INCITS 405-2005, SCSI Block Commands - 2 (SBC-2) INCITS 431-2007, Serial Attached SCSI - 2.1 (SAS-2.1) INCITS 447-2008, SCSI Architecture Model - 4 (SAM-4) INCITS 448-2008, SCSI Enclosure Services - 2 (SES-2) INCITS 461-2010, Fibre Channel - Switch Fabric-5 (FC-SW-5) INCITS 462-2010, Fibre Channel - Backbone-5 (FC-BB-5) SNIA Dictionary v.2015.1.ENG INCITS 466-2011, Fibre Channel - Single-Byte Command Code Sets - 4 (FC-SB-4) INCITS 467-2011, SCSI Stream Commands - 3 (SSC-3) INCITS 470-2011, Fibre Channel - Framing and Signaling - 3 (FC-FS-3) INCITS 475-2011, Fibre Channel - Inter-Fabric Routing (FC-IFR) INCITS 476-2011, SAS Protocol Layer (SPL) INCITS 476/AM1-2012, SAS Protocol Layer Amendment #1 (SPL-AM1) INCITS 477-2011, Fibre Channel – Link Service - 2 (FC-LS-2) INCITS 478/AM1-2014, Serial Attach SCSI - 2.1 Amendment #1 (SAS-2.1-AM1) INCITS 479-2011, Fibre Channel - Physical Interface - 5 (FC-PI-5) INCITS 481-2012, Fibre Channel Protocol for SCSI - 4 (FCP-4) INCITS 484-2012, SCSI Media Changer Commands - 3 (SMC-3) INCITS 497-2013, Automation/Drive Interface – Commands - 3 (ADC-3) INCITS 505-2013, SAS Protocol Layer - 2 (SPL-2) INCITS 509-2014, Fibre Channel - Backbone - 6 (FC-BB-6) INCITS 514-2014, SCSI Block Commands - 3 (SBC-3) INCITS 516-2014, SCSI Stream Commands - 4 (SSC-4) INCITS 519-2014, Serial Attached SCSI - 3 (SAS-3) The SNIA wishes to thank ANSI and INCITS for their cooperation in this matter. Copies of INCITS standards may be purchased at ANSI's online store at http://webstore.ansi.org. SNIA Dictionary v.2015.1.ENG Context Hierarchy Most of the terms in this dictionary have meaning primarily in specific sub-contexts of storage networking, such as SCSI or File Systems. The following categories are used to declare the context in which a given definition in this dictionary is held to be valid. No attempt has been made to date to rigorously define these categories, so they remain a guide to understanding, not a formal system. General --Hardware ----Network -------SCSI -------iSCSI -------Fibre Channel ----Data Communication --Computer System ----Storage System --- Operating System -------Windows --Services Cloud --Management ----Data Management -------Backup -------Data Recovery -------Data Security -------Database -------File System -------Long Term Retention -------Capacity Optimization ----Storage Management --Energy --Standards --Legal The context hierarchy is a work in progress. In part, we are constrained by practice in previous editions of the dictionary. In the above hierarchy representation, context labels indented beneath other context labels represent specializations of the higher-order label concept. Below is an example of how context is indicated: context example [Context] The context is called out in square brackets at the beginning of each definition, as in this example.

  • A Practical Introduction to Computer Architecture
    A Practical Introduction to Computer Architecture Daniel Page [email protected] h i git # ba293a0e @ 2019-11-14 © Daniel Page [email protected] h i git # ba293a0e @ 2019-11-14 2 © Daniel Page [email protected] h i MATHEMATICAL PRELIMINARIES In Mathematics you don’t understand things. You just get used to them. – von Neumann The goal of this Chapter is to provide a fairly comprehensive overview of theory that underpins the rest of the book. At first glance the content may seem a little dry, and is often excluded in other similar books. It seems clear, however, that without a solid understanding of said theory, using the constituent topics to solve practical problems will be much harder. The topics covered all relate to the field of discrete Mathematics; they include propositional logic, sets and functions, Boolean algebra and number systems. These four topics combine to produce a basis for formal methods to describe, manipulate and implement digital systems. Readers with a background in Mathematics or Computer Science might skip this Chapter and use it simply for reference; those approaching it from some other background would be advised to read the material in more detail. 1 Propositional logic Definition 0.1. A proposition is a statement whose meaning, termed the truth value, is either true or false (less formally, we say the statement is true if it has a truth value of true and false if it has a truth value of false). A given proposition can involve one or more variables; only when concrete values are assigned to the variables can the meaning of a proposition be evaluated.
