`
`IEEE Standards documents are developed within the Technical Committees of the
`IEEE Societies and the Standards Coordinating Committees of the IEEE Standards
`Board. Members of the committees serve voluntarily and without compensation.
`They are not necessarily members of the Institute. The standards developed within
`IEEE represent a consensus of the broad expertise on the subject within the Institute
`as well as those activities outside of IEEE that have expressed an interest in partici(cid:173)
`pating in the development of the standard.
`
`Use of an IEEE Standard is wholly voluntary. The existence of an IEEE Standard
`does not imply that there are no other ways to produce, test, measure, purchase, mar(cid:173)
`ket, or provide other goods and services related to the scope of the IEEE Standard.
`Furthermore, the viewpoint expressed at the time a standard is approved and issued is
`subject to change brought about through developments in the state of the art and
`comments received from users of the standard. Every IEEE Standard is subjected to
`review at least every five years for revision or reaffirmation. When a document is
`more than five years old and has not been reaffirmed, it is reasonable to conclude that
`its contents, although still of some value, do not wholly reflect the present state of the
`art. Users are cautioned to check to determine that they have the latest edition of any
`IEEE Standard.
`
`Comments for revision of IEEE Standards are welcome from any interested party,
`regardless of membership affiliation with IEEE. Suggestions for changes in docu(cid:173)
`ments should be in the form of a proposed change of text, together with appropriate
`supporting comments.
`
`Interpretations: Occasionally questions may arise regarding the meaning of portions
`of standards as they relate to specific applications. When the need for interpretations
`is brought to the attention of IEEE, the Institute will initiate action to prepare appro(cid:173)
`priate responses. Since IEEE Standards represent a consensus of all concerned inter(cid:173)
`ests, it is important to ensure that any interpretation has also received the concurrence
`of a balance of interests. For this reason IEEE and the members of its technical com(cid:173)
`mittees are not able to provide an instant response to interpretation requests except in
`those cases where the matter has previously received formal consideration.
`
`Comments on standards and requests for interpretations should be addressed to:

`
`IEEE Standards documents may involve the use of patented technology. Their
`approval by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers does not mean that
`using such technology for the purpose of conforming to such standards is authorized
`by the patent owner. It is the obligation of the user of such technology to obtain all
`necessary permissions .

`
`IEEE STANDARD GLOSSARY OF
`
`3.1566 packet. A unit of data of some finite-size that is
`transmitted as a unit. Note: Usually consists of a header
`containing control infonnation such as a sequence num(cid:173)
`ber, the network address of the station that originated
`the packet, and the network address of the packet's des(cid:173)
`tination. See also: long packet, short packet. [IEEE Std
`6I0.7-1995]
`
`3.1567 packJng density. See: recording density.
`
`3.1568 paddle. A cursor control device consisting of a
`rotatable knob and potentiometer used to conttol the
`position of a cursor on a display device.
`
`3.1569 page. (1) In virtual storage, a fixed length block
`of instructions or data that has a virtual address and that
`is transferred as a unit between real storage and auxil(cid:173)
`iary storage. See also: segment. (2) To transfer data
`between real and auxiliary storage as in (1).
`
`3.1570 page fault. In demand paging, a condition that
`causes a program interrupt when a page must be read in
`from disk into main storage.
`
`3.1571 page frame. (1) In real storage, a storage loca(cid:173)
`tion that has the size of a page. [ANSI X3.138- l 988J (2)
`An area of main storage used to hold a page. [ANSI
`X3.138-1988J
`
`3.1572 page orientation. The direction of print on a
`display device or page of paper; that is, left-to-right or
`top-to-bottom. See also: fandscape orientation; portrait
`orientation.
`
`3.1573 page printer. A printer that prints one complete
`page of output at a time. For example, a computer-out(cid:173)
`put microfilm printer or a laser printer. Contrast with:
`character-at-a-time printer; line printer.
`
`3,1574 page reader. A character reader whose input
`data are in the fonn of printed text. See also: optical
`character reader.
`
`3.1575 page swapping. The process of exchanging
`pages between main storage and auxiliary storage.
`
`3.1576 page turning. See: paging.
`
`3.1S77 paging. (1) A storage allocation technique in
`which programs or data are divided into fixed-length
`blocks called pages, main storage is divided into blocks
`of the same length called page frames, and pages are
`stored in page frames , not necessarily contiguously or in
`logical order. See also: segment. [IEEE Std 610.12-

`
`cation network at which data can leave the system. Con(cid:173)
`trast with: input tenninal.
`
`3.1555 output unit. See: output device.
`
`3.1556 over-sized packet, See: long packet.
`
`3.1557 overlapped execution. A mode of operation in

`3.1558 overlapping register set. A set of registers, only
`part of which is available 10 an applicalion al any given

`any routines called by the current routine.
`~
`
`3.1559 overload. A condition existing in an analog
`computer, within or at the output of a compuliag ele(cid:173)
`ment, that causes a substantial computing error because
`of the voltage or current saturation of one or more of the

`similar to an overflow of an accumulator in a digital
`computer.
`
`3.1560 overpunch. To punch holes into a column of a
`punch card that already contains one or more holes.
`Note: Often used to represent special characters.
`
`semiconductor
`p-channel metal-oxide
`3.1561
`(PMOS). A type of semiconductor technology which
`employs metal oxide field effect transistors, using holes
`to conduct current in the semiconductor channel. Note:
`The channel has a predominantly positive charge. Con(cid:173)
`trast with: n-channel metal-oxide semiconductor. See
`also: complementary metal-oxide semiconductor.
`
`3.1562 P register. A special-purpose instruction address
`register that holds the address of the next instruction to
