Gartner delivers technology research to global technology business leaders to make informed decisions on key initiatives.
A mode of operation in which multiple physical central processing units (CPUs) within a complex logically appear as one system running under control of a single copy of the operating system.
Industry:Technology
A multiplexing technique similar to OFDMA but where the subcarriers assigned to each user must be contiguous, which reduces the processing power and battery requirements for mobile devices. See also OFDMA.
Industry:Technology
Single sign-on (SSO) provides the capability to authenticate once, and be subsequently and automatically authenticated when accessing various target systems. It eliminates the need to separately authenticate and sign on to individual applications and systems, essentially serving as a user surrogate between client workstations and target systems. Target applications and systems still maintain their own credential stores and present sign-on prompts to client devices. Behind the scenes, SSO responds to those prompts and maps the credentials to a single login/password pair. SSO is commonly deployed in enterprise, Web and federated models.
Industry:Technology
Acronym for “single minute exchange of die” — a lean approach that minimizes changeover or setup time in a process such that it can be accomplished in less than 10 minutes (the “single” referring not to one minute but single digits; i.e., less than 10).
Industry:Technology
Traditional disk drive. That is, a conventional large-system disk system that has, on average, almost twice the diameter of a lower-cost redundant array of independent disks (RAID) system and, as its name implies, is significantly more expensive to manufacture.
Industry:Technology
A design for parallel computers characterized by instructions that can directly trigger a large number (in parallel) of data operations on different data. Vector processors fall into this category.
Industry:Technology
A small printed circuit board that plugs into a socket on a personal computer and increases the available random-access memory (RAM).
Industry:Technology
A transmission system in which a physical channel is allocated solely to one carrier for the duration of the transmission.
Industry:Technology
Various routines using historical information to simulate future alternatives for supply chain operations design. Usually strategically focused for use in future operations, these may then be optimized or prioritized.
Industry:Technology
The use of a mathematical or computer representation of a physical system for the purpose of studying constraint effects.
