• Latency
The time from when an operation is started to when the final result is produced.
• Live processing
See real-time processing.
• LAN
Local area network. A LAN is a group (or network) of computers and other devices
that are connected together to share the resources (files, printers, devices, and other
services such as internet access) of a single workstation or server within a small
geographical area. The main LAN connection technology used is Ethernet cable,
which connects users (clients) to the LAN's server. Clients download applications
and/or services from the server, and then run or use them from their local
computer.
• LVDS
Low-voltage differential signaling. LVDS offers a general-purpose, high-bandwidth
interface standard for serial and parallel data interfaces that require increased
bandwidth at high speed, with low noise and power consumption.
• Network bindings
The series of associations that enable communication among the network services,
protocols, and adapters in your computer. In this case,'binding' refers to the
conversion or association of symbolic addresses in the operating system to
storage-related addresses. These associations can be adjusted to increase the
performance of certain network services among multiple network adapters.
Note that you should not adjust network bindings unless you are an experienced
❖
network administrator and are familiar with the requirements of your network
software.
• Node controller
Responsible for control of data-taking activities within a partition.
