  2. Global Descriptor Table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Descriptor_Table

    LDTs are the siblings of the Global Descriptor Table (GDT), and each define up to 8192 memory segments accessible to programs - note that unlike the GDT, the zeroeth entry is a valid entry, and can be used like any other LDT entry. Also note that unlike the GDT, the LDT cannot be used to store certain system entries: TSSs or LDTs. Call Gates ...

  3. Interrupt descriptor table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interrupt_descriptor_table

    The descriptors may be either interrupt gates, trap gates or, for 32-bit protected mode only, task gates. Interrupt and trap gates point to a memory location containing code to execute by specifying both a segment (present in either the GDT or LDT) and an offset within that segment. The only difference between trap and interrupt gates is that ...

  4. Task state segment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Task_state_segment

    A segment register called the task register (TR) holds a segment selector that points to a valid TSS segment descriptor which resides in the GDT (a TSS descriptor may not reside in the LDT). Therefore, to use a TSS the following must be done by the operating system kernel: Create a TSS descriptor entry in the GDT

    Geometric dimensioning and tolerancing, GD&T; Global Descriptor Table, an x86 data structure; Global distance test, to compare proteins; Ground Data Terminal; GDT or Gerätedatentransfer, a medical data format; see xDT

  6. Protected mode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protected_mode

    In computing, protected mode, also called protected virtual address mode, [1] is an operational mode of x86-compatible central processing units (CPUs). It allows system software to use features such as segmentation, virtual memory, paging and safe multi-tasking designed to increase an operating system's control over application software.

  7. xDT - Wikipedia

    GDT (Gerätedatentransfer): A format to transfer data among medical devices and software systems LDT ( Labordatentransfer ): A format to transfer orders of laboratory tests and their results. External links

  8. Solid State Interlocking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid_State_Interlocking

    A 'data link module' (DLM) is the interface between the data link and the TFMs. A DLM has a blue label. For transmission over longer distances, fibre-optic cable and pulse-code modulation may be used. Another type of module, the 'long distance terminal' (LDT) is available for this purpose. An LDT has a gold coloured label.

  9. LDT - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LDT

    LDT may stand for: Laterodorsal tegmental nucleus, a nucleus in the brain stem; Laboratory developed test, in vitro diagnostics; Labordatentransfer, a German xDT format to transfer laboratory tests; Large deviations theory, field of probability theory; Learning Design and Technology, an academic program; Lexical decision task in psychology ...
