None.
4. D.  Software
Note: The status of "software" for equipment described in other Categories is dealt with in the appropriate Category.
4. D. 001. "Software" as follows:
a. "Software" specially designed or modified for the "development", or "production" of equipment or "software" specified by 4A or 4D;
b. "Software", other than that specified by 4D001.a., specially designed or modified for the "development" or "production" of equipment as follows:
1. "Digital computers" having an "Adjusted Peak Performance" ("APP") exceeding 24 Weighted TeraFLOPS (WT);
2. "Electronic assemblies" specially designed or modified for enhancing performance by aggregation of processors so that the "APP" of the aggregation exceeds the limit in 4D001.b.1.
4. D. 002. Not used.
4. D. 003. Not used.
4. D. 004. "Software" specially designed or modified for the generation, command and control, or delivery of "intrusion software".
Note: 4D004. does not apply to "software" specially designed and limited to provide "software" updates or upgrades meeting all the following:
a.  The update or upgrade operates only with the authorisation of the owner or administrator of the system receiving it; and
b.  After the update or upgrade, the "software" updated or upgraded is not any of the following:
                   1. "Software" specified by 4D004.; or
                   2. "Intrusion software".

4. E. Technology
4. E. 001. "Technology" as follows:
a. "Technology" according to the General Technology Note, for the "development", "production" or "use" of equipment or "software" specified by 4A001 to 4A005, 4A101, 4A102,  or 4D001 to 4D004;
b. "Technology" according to the General Technology Note, other than that specified by 4E001.a., for the "development" or "production" of equipment as follows:
1. "Digital computers" having an 'Adjusted Peak Performance' ('APP') exceeding 24 Weighted TeraFLOPS (WT);
2. "Electronic assemblies" specially designed or modified for enhancing performance by aggregation of processors so that the 'APP' of the aggregation exceeds the limit in 4E001.b.1.;
c. "Technology" for the "development" of "intrusion software".
Note 1: 4E001.a. and 4E001.c. do not apply to "vulnerability disclosure" or "cyber incident response".
Note 2: Note 1 does not diminish national authorities' rights to ascertain compliance with 4E001.a. and 4E001.c.

TECHNICAL NOTE ON "ADJUSTED PEAK PERFORMANCE" ("APP")
"APP" is an adjusted peak rate at which "digital computers" perform 64‑bit or larger floating point additions and multiplications.
"APP" is expressed in Weighted TeraFLOPS (WT), in units of 1012 adjusted floating point operations per second
