  2. 256-bit computing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/256-bit_computing

    SHA-256 hash function. Smart contracts use 256- or 257-bit integers; 256-bit words for the Ethereum Virtual Machine. "We realize that a 257 bits byte is quite unusual, but for smart contracts it is ok to have at least 256 bits numbers. The leading VM for smart contracts, Ethereum VM, introduced this practice and other blockchain VMs followed." [8]

  3. Octuple-precision floating-point format - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octuple-precision_floating...

    In computing, octuple precision is a binary floating-point-based computer number format that occupies 32 bytes (256 bits) in computer memory. This 256-bit octuple precision is for applications requiring results in higher than quadruple precision. The range greatly exceeds what is needed to describe all known physical limitations within the ...

  4. List of YouTube features - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_YouTube_features

    Since June 2007, YouTube's videos have been available for viewing on a range of Apple products. This required YouTube's content to be transcoded into Apple's preferred video standard, H.264, a process that took several months. YouTube videos can be viewed on devices including Apple TV, iPod Touch and the iPhone. [108]

    4.5 × 10 16 bits (5.625 petabytes) – estimated hard drive space in Google's server farm as of 2004 [citation needed] 2 56: 72,057,594,037,927,936 bits (8 pebibytes) 10 petabytes (10 16 bytes) – estimated approximate size of the Library of Congress's collection, including non-book materials, as of 2005.

  6. Zero page - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero_page

    The zero page or base page is the block of memory at the very beginning of a computer's address space; that is, the page whose starting address is zero. The size of a page depends on the context, and the significance of zero page memory versus higher addressed memory is highly dependent on machine architecture.

  7. Cache placement policies - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cache_placement_policies

    Consider a main memory of 16 kilobytes, which is organized as 4-byte blocks, and a direct-mapped cache of 256 bytes with a block size of 4 bytes. Because the main memory is 16kB, we need a minimum of 14 bits to uniquely represent a memory address. Since each cache block is of size 4 bytes, the total number of sets in the cache is 256/4, which ...

  8. Data compression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_compression

    Most video coding standards, such as the H.26x and MPEG formats, typically use motion-compensated DCT video coding (block motion compensation). [69] [70] Most video codecs are used alongside audio compression techniques to store the separate but complementary data streams as one combined package using so-called container formats. [71]

  9. z/Architecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z/Architecture

    Most [citation needed] operating systems for the z/Architecture, including z/OS, generally restrict code execution to the first 2 GB (31 address bits, or 2 31 addressable bytes) of each virtual address space for reasons of efficiency and compatibility rather than because of architectural limits. Linux on IBM Z allows code to execute within 64 ...
