| An open source version of the SSL and TLS security protocols, which provide encryption and server authentication over the internet. |

It's more than this. Copying from openssl.org it's also a "toolkit for general-purpose cryptography", which is the part of OpenSSL used by OpenJ9 with OpenJDK.
| ### page | ||

It depends on the platform and configuration, it's not always 4096 bytes.

How can we generalise it? Maybe as follows:
A contiguous block of virtual memory, usually of 4096 bytes size. A page size can be 2^n.

"usually of 4096" bytes only applies to certain platforms/OSes.
| ### huge page | ||
| {: #x4550512} | ||
|
|
||
| In Linux, a block of memory that can be 2 MB or 1 GB in size. Using huge pages increases the kernel-level performance by creating fewer pages and therefore fewer mapping tables that the kernel has to load. |

2MB and 1GB are just examples, not the only possibilities.

| ### system dump (SDUMP) |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Where does SDUMP come from, does OpenJ9 use this term?
There was a problem hiding this comment.
We are expected to use the Terminology-in-ibm for creating glossaries. The idea is to use standardised terms and definition across IBM. We can suggest changes and make it specific to each product. SDUMP might be an existing term that is being reused. I am coordinating with Carla Quinn. I will pass on these comments to her and work on correcting it. Please do let me know any other concerns you might have. Thanks!
Glossary topic added with first set of glossary terms.
