2. 128-bit computing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/128-bit_computing

   In computer architecture, 128-bit integers, memory addresses, or other data units are those that are 128 bits (16 octets) wide. Also, 128-bit central processing unit (CPU) and arithmetic logic unit (ALU) architectures are those that are based on registers, address buses, or data buses of that size. General home computing and gaming utility ...

3. Time formatting and storage bugs - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_formatting_and...

   In computer science, data type limitations and software bugs can cause errors in time and date calculation or display. These are most commonly manifestations of arithmetic overflow, but can also be the result of other issues. The most well-known consequence of this type is the Y2K problem, but many other milestone dates or times exist that have ...

4. BitLocker - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitLocker

   BitLocker is a logical volume encryption system. (A volume spans part of a hard disk drive, the whole drive or more than one drive.) When enabled, TPM and BitLocker can ensure the integrity of the trusted boot path (e.g. BIOS and boot sector), in order to prevent most offline physical attacks and boot sector malware.

5. Word (computer architecture) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word_(computer_architecture)

   Word (computer architecture) In computing, a word is the natural unit of data used by a particular processor design. A word is a fixed-sized datum handled as a unit by the instruction set or the hardware of the processor. The number of bits or digits [a] in a word (the word size, word width, or word length) is an important characteristic of any ...

6. Quadruple-precision floating-point format - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadruple-precision...

   v. t. e. In computing, quadruple precision (or quad precision) is a binary floating-point –based computer number format that occupies 16 bytes (128 bits) with precision at least twice the 53-bit double precision. This 128-bit quadruple precision is designed not only for applications requiring results in higher than double precision, [1] but ...
