  2. Giant virus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant_virus

    A giant virus, sometimes referred to as a girus, is a very large virus, some of which are larger than typical bacteria. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] All known giant viruses belong to the phylum Nucleocytoviricota . [ 3 ]

    A recent study published in the journal Scientific Reports on Thursday, March 22, found that the GPGP has grown to more than 600,000 square miles, which is twice the size of Texas or three times ...

  4. Largest organisms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Largest_organisms

    The largest virus on record is Megaklothovirus horridgei, with the length of 4 micrometres, comparable to the typical size of a bacterium and large enough to be seen in light microscopes. It was discovered in 2018 (being mistaken for bristles beforehand), having been found on an arrow worm in the genus Spadella . [ 48 ]

  5. Great Pacific Garbage Patch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Pacific_garbage_patch

    Most debris consists of small plastic particles suspended at or just below the surface, evading detection by aircraft or satellite. Instead, the size of the patch is determined by sampling. The estimated size of the garbage patch is 1,600,000 square kilometres (620,000 sq mi) (about twice the size of Texas or three times the size of France). [52]

  7. Mimivirus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mimivirus

    Mimivirus, short for "mimicking microbe", is so called to reflect its large size and apparent Gram-staining properties. [5] Mimivirus has a large and complex genome compared with most other viruses. Until 2013, when a larger virus Pandoravirus was described, it had the largest capsid diameter of all known viruses. [6]

  8. General-purpose computing on graphics processing units

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General-purpose_computing...

    Register file size is also increasing over different GPU generations, e.g., the total register file size on Maxwell (GM200), Pascal and Volta GPUs are 6 MiB, 14 MiB and 20 MiB, respectively. [ 31 ] [ 32 ] By comparison, the size of a register file on CPUs is small, typically tens or hundreds of kilobytes.

    180 nm – typical length of the rabies virus; 200 nm – typical size of a Mycoplasma bacterium, among the smallest bacteria; 300 nm – greatest particle size that can fit through a HEPA (high efficiency particulate air) filter (N100 removes up to 99.97% at 300 nm, N95 removes up to 95% at 300 nm) [84] 300–400 nm – near ultraviolet wavelength
