DIG64 - Developer’s
Interface Guide for IA-64 Servers
Leading hardware and software vendors have formed an industry group to develop
the DIG64 guidelines. These guidelines establish basic system building blocks,
interfaces, and programming conventions for upcoming IA-64 based servers and
their system-level software in order to define hardware and software
compatibility and interoperability.

DMTF
With more than 4,000 active participants representing 44 countries and nearly
200 organizations, the Distributed Management Task Force, Inc. (DMTF) is the
industry organization leading the development, adoption and promotion of
interoperable management standards and initiatives. DMTF management
technologies are critical to enabling management interoperability among
multi-vendor systems, tools, and solutions within the enterprise. By deploying
solutions that support DMTF standards, IT managers can choose to deploy a mix
of systems and solutions that best meet their users’ needs, while reducing
management complexity and total cost of ownership. Information about the DMTF
technologies and activities can be found at

OpenIB Alliance
Founded in June 2004 as the OpenIB Alliance, the organization was originally
focused on developing a standardized, Linux-based InfiniBand software stack. In
2005, the Alliance committed itself to supporting Windows, a move that would
make the Alliance’s software stack truly cross-platform. And in 2006, the
organization again expanded its charter to include support for iWARP, which is
a competing transport technology to InfiniBand. Today, the vision of the
OpenFabrics Alliance is to deliver a unified, cross-platform,
transport-independent software stack for RDMA.

PCI-SG
Formed in 1992, the PCI-SIG is the industry organization chartered to develop
and manage the PCI standard. With over 900 members, the PCI-SIG effectively
places ownership and management of the PCI specifications in the hands of the
developer community. A Board of Directors comprised of nine people, each
elected by the membership, leads the PCI-SIG.

UEFI
The Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) specification defines a new
model for the interface between operating systems and platform firmware. The
interface consists of data tables that contain platform-related information,
plus boot and runtime service calls that are available to the operating system
and its loader. Together, these provide a standard environment for booting an
operating system and running pre-boot applications.The Unified EFI Forum is the
group responsible for developing, managing and promoting the UEFI
specifications. Further information about the UEFI specification and membership
opportunities can be found throughout
