  2. Kilobyte - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilobyte

    The internationally recommended unit symbol for the kilobyte is kB. [ 1 ] In some areas of information technology , particularly in reference to random-access memory capacity, kilobyte instead typically refers to 1024 (2 10 ) bytes.

  4. Data-rate units - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data-rate_units

    The ISQ symbols for the bit and byte are bit and B, respectively.In the context of data-rate units, one byte consists of 8 bits, and is synonymous with the unit octet.The abbreviation bps is often used to mean bit/s, so that when a 1 Mbps connection is advertised, it usually means that the maximum achievable bandwidth is 1 Mbit/s (one million bits per second), which is 0.125 MB/s (megabyte per ...

    This could be used to advantage if the programs were repeatedly loaded in different orders, and checking to see how much memory was free after each permutation. For example, if there was a 50 KB UMB and a 10 KB UMB, and programs needing 8 KB and 45 KB were loaded, the 8 KB might go into the 50 KB UMB, preventing the second from loading.

    In 1980, the price of a 16 kW (kiloword, equivalent to 32 kB) core memory board that fitted into a DEC Q-bus computer was around US$3,000. At that time, core array and supporting electronics can fit on a single printed circuit board about 25 cm × 20 cm (10 in × 8 in) in size, the core array was mounted a few mm above the PCB and was protected ...
