  2. Logical block addressing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logical_block_addressing

    In logical block addressing, only one number is used to address data, and each linear base address describes a single block. The LBA scheme replaces earlier schemes which exposed the physical details of the storage device to the software of the operating system. Chief among these was the cylinder-head-sector (CHS) scheme, where blocks were addressed by means

  3. Gigabyte - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gigabyte

    The term is also used in some fields of computer science and information technology to denote 1 073 741 824 (1024 3 or 2 30) bytes, however, particularly for sizes of RAM. Thus, some usage of gigabyte has been ambiguous. To resolve this difficulty, IEC 80000-13 clarifies that a gigabyte (GB) is 10 9 bytes and specifies the term gibibyte (GiB ...

  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 ...

  7. Measuring network throughput - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Measuring_network_throughput

    Each cell is 53 bytes long, with the first 5 bytes defined as the header, and the following 48 bytes as payload. Data networking commonly requires packets of data that are larger than 48 bytes, so there is a defined adaptation process that specifies how larger packets of data should be divided up in a standard manner to be carried by the ...

  8. Units of information - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Units_of_information

    1 byte: A number from 0 to 255; 90 bytes: Enough to store a typical line of text from a book; 512 bytes = 0.5 KiB: The typical sector size of an old style hard disk drive (modern Advanced Format sectors are 4096 bytes). 1024 bytes = 1 KiB: A block size in some older UNIX filesystems; 2048 bytes = 2 KiB: A CD-ROM sector

  9. Data conversion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_conversion

    Data conversion can occur directly from one format to another, but many applications that convert between multiple formats use an intermediate representation by way of which any source format is converted to its target. [1] For example, it is possible to convert Cyrillic text from KOI8-R to Windows-1251 using a lookup table between the two ...
