Introduction security of the system. See the Intel® Architecture Software Developer's Manual for more detailed information. Refer to http://developer.intel.com/ for future reference on up to date nomenclatures. • Intel® 64 Architecture - An enhancement to Intel's IA-32 architecture, allowing the processor to execute operating systems and applications written to take advantage of Intel® 64. Further details on Intel® 64 architecture and programming model can be found at http://developer.intel.com/technology/intel64/. • Intel® Virtualization Technology (Intel® VT) - A set of hardware enhancements to Intel server and client platforms that can improve virtualization solutions. Intel® VT provides a foundation for widely-deployed virtualization solutions and enables a more robust hardware assisted virtualization solution. More information can be found at: http://www.intel.com/technology/virtualization/ • Unit Interval (UI) - Signaling convention that is binary and unidirectional. In this binary signaling, one bit is sent for every edge of the forwarded clock, whether it is a rising edge or a falling edge. If a number of edges are collected at instances t1, t2, tn,...., tk then the UI at instance "n" is defined as: UI n = t n - t n - 1 • Jitter - Any timing variation of a transition edge or edges from the defined Unit Interval. • Storage Conditions - Refers to a non-operational state. The processor may be installed in a platform, in a tray, or loose. Processors may be sealed in packaging or exposed to free air. Under these conditions, processor lands should not be connected to any supply voltages, have any I/Os biased, or receive any clocks. • OEM - Original Equipment Manufacturer. 1.2 References Material and concepts available in the following documents may be beneficial when reading this document.
