Part 3 ComputersF1
| 4A994 Computers, “electronic assemblies” and related equipment, and specially designed components therefor. | ||
|---|---|---|
Note 1: The control status of the “digital computers” and related equipment described in 4A994 is determined by the control status of other equipment or systems provided: a. The “digital computers” or related equipment are essential for the operation of the other equipment or systems; b. The “digital computers” or related equipment are not a “principal element” of the other equipment or systems; and N.b. 1: The control status of “signal processing” or “image enhancement” equipment specially designed for other equipment with functions limited to those required for the other equipment is determined by the control status of the other equipment even if it exceeds the “principal element” criterion. N.b. 2: For the control status of “digital computers” or related equipment for telecommunications equipment, see Category 5, Part 1 (Telecommunications) of Annex I of the Dual-Use Regulation. c. The “technology” for the “digital computers” and related equipment is determined by Category 4E of Annex I of the Dual-Use Regulation. | ||
a. Electronic computers and related equipment, and “electronic assemblies” and specially designed components therefor, rated for operation at an ambient temperature above 343 K (70°C); | ||
| b. “Digital computers”, including “signal processing” or ”image enhancement” equipment, having an “Adjusted Peak Performance” (“APP”) equal to or greater than 0.0128 Weighted TeraFLOPS (WT); | ||
| c. “Electronic assemblies” that are specially designed or modified to enhance performance by aggregation of processors, as follows: | ||
| c.1. Designed to be capable of aggregation in configurations of 16 or more processors; | ||
| c.2. Not used. | ||
Note 1: 4A994.c applies only to “electronic assemblies” and programmable interconnections with a “APP” not exceeding the limits in 4A994.b, when shipped as unintegrated “electronic assemblies”. It does not apply to “electronic assemblies” inherently limited by nature of their design for use as related equipment controlled by 4A994.k. Note 2: 4A994.c does not control any “electronic assembly” specially designed for a product or family of products whose maximum configuration does not exceed the limits of 4A994.b. | ||
d. Not used; | ||
| e. Not used; | ||
| f. Equipment for “signal processing” or “image enhancement” having an “Adjusted Peak Performance” (“APP”) equal to or greater than 0.0128 Weighted TeraFLOPS WT; | ||
| g. Not used; | ||
| h. Not used; | ||
| i. Equipment containing “terminal interface equipment” exceeding the limits in 5A991; | ||
| j. Equipment specially designed to provide external interconnection of “digital computers” or associated equipment that allows communications at data rates exceeding 80 Mbyte/s; | ||
| Note:4A994.j does not control internal interconnection equipment (e.g., backplanes, buses) passive interconnection equipment, “network access controllers” or “communication channel controllers”. | ||
| k. “Hybrid computers” and “electronic assemblies” and specially designed components therefor containing analogue-to-digital converters having all of the following: | ||
| k.1. 32 channels or more; and | ||
| k.2. A resolution of 14 bit (plus sign bit) or more with a conversion rate of 200,000 F2Hz or more. | ||
| 4D993 “Program” proof and validation “software,” “software” allowing the automatic generation of “source codes,” and operating system “software” that are specially designed for “real-time processing” equipment. | ||
| a. “Program” proof and validation “software” using mathematical and analytical techniques and designed or modified for “programs” having more than 500,000 “source code” instructions; | ||
| b. “Software” allowing the automatic generation of “source codes” from data acquired on line from external sensors described in Annex I of the Dual-Use Regulation; | ||
| c. Operating system “software” specially designed for “real-time processing” equipment that guarantees a “global interrupt latency time” of less than 20 µs. | ||
Note: “Global interrupt latency time” is the time taken by the computer system to recognise an interrupt due to the event, service the interrupt and perform a context switch to an alternate memory-resident task waiting on the interrupt. | ||
| 4D994 Software” other than that controlled in entry 4D001 of Annex I of the Dual-Use Regulation specially designed or modified for the “development”, “production”, or “use” of equipment controlled by entry 4A101 of Annex I of the Dual-Use Regulation, or 4A994. | ||
| 4E992 “Technology” for the “development,” “production,” or “use” of equipment controlled by 4A994, or “software” controlled by 4D993 or 4D994. | ||
| 4E993 “Technology” for the “development” or “production” of equipment designed for “multi-data-stream processing.” | ||
