4A003.b'Digital computers' having an 'Adjusted Peak Performance' ('APP') equal to or greater than 29 Weighted TeraFLOPS (WT)
4A003.c'Electronic assemblies' specially designed or modified to enhance performance by aggregation of 'computing elements' ('CEs') so that the 'APP' of the aggregation exceeds the limit in 4A003.b
4A003.eEquipment performing analog-to-digital conversions exceeding the limits in 3A001.a.5
4A003.aNot used;
4A003.dNot used;
4A003.fNot used;
4A003.gEquipment specially designed for aggregating the performance of "digital computers" by providing external interconnections which allows communications at unidirectional data rates exceeding 2,0 Gbyte/s per link.
Decontrol note
Les ordinateurs personnels, stations de travail et serveurs grand public restent generalement sous le seuil APP. Les restrictions US sur les GPU Nvidia (A100/H100) pour la Chine relevent de l'EAR americain, pas du Reglement UE.
