From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
Gunning Transceiver Logic          (GTL) A       {standard} for electrical signals in {CMOS} circuits used to       provide higher data transfer speeds with smaller voltage       swings [compared with what?].          The GTL signal swings between 0.4 volts and 1.2 volts with a       reference voltage of about 0.8 volts.   Only a small deviation       of 0.4 volts (or thereabouts) from the reference voltage is       required to switch between on and off states.   Therefore, a       GTL signal is said to be a low voltage swing logic signal.          Gunning Transceiver Logic has several advantages.   The       {resistive termination} of a GTL signal provides a clean       signalling environment [what?].   Moreover, the low terminating       voltage of 1.2 volts results in reduced voltage drops across       the resistive elements.   GTL has low power dissipation and can       operate at high frequency and causes less {electromagnetic       interference} (EMI).          {GTL/BTL: A Low-Swing Solution for High-Speed Digital Logic       (http://www.edtn.com/scribe/reference/appnotes/md003ecc.htm)}.          (2000-01-16)
