  2. Bitwise operation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitwise_operation

    In computer programming, a bitwise operation operates on a bit string, a bit array or a binary numeral (considered as a bit string) at the level of its individual bits.It is a fast and simple action, basic to the higher-level arithmetic operations and directly supported by the processor.

  3. Measuring network throughput - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Measuring_network_throughput

    This means you need to know when a 'one' bit starts to distinguish it from idle. This is done by agreeing in advance how fast data will be transmitted over a link, then using a start bit to signal the start of a byte — this start bit will be a 'zero' bit. Stop bits are 'one' bits i.e. negative voltage.

  4. Physical Address Extension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_Address_Extension

    The size of the "byte offset" from the address being translated is still 12 bits, so total physical address size increases from 32 bits to 36 bits (i.e. from 20+12 to 24+12). This increased the physical memory that is theoretically addressable by the CPU from 4 GB to 64 GB.

  5. Bit numbering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bit_numbering

    Similarly, the most significant bit (MSb) represents the highest-order place of the binary integer. The LSb is sometimes referred to as the low-order bit or right-most bit, due to the convention in positional notation of writing less significant digits further to the right. The MSb is similarly referred to as the high-order bit or left-most bit.

  6. Adler-32 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adler-32

    An Adler-32 checksum is obtained by calculating two 16-bit checksums A and B and concatenating their bits into a 32-bit integer. A is the sum of all bytes in the stream plus one, and B is the sum of the individual values of A from each step. At the beginning of an Adler-32 run, A is initialized to 1, B to 0. The sums are done modulo 65521 (the ...

  7. Bit time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bit_time

    The bit time for a 10 Mbit/s NIC is 100 nanoseconds. That is, a 10 Mbit/s NIC can eject 1 bit every 0.1 microsecond (100 nanoseconds = 0.1 microseconds). Bit time is distinctively different from slot time , which is the time taken for a pulse to travel through the longest permitted length of network medium.

    2 127 bits, 2 124 bytes – IBM Eagle: 2 131: 10 39: 2 131 bits, 2 128 bytes – theoretical maximum volume size of the ZFS filesystem. [26] [27] [28] 2 150: 10 42 ~ 10 42 bits – the number of bits required to perfectly recreate the natural matter of the average-sized U.S. adult male human brain down to the quantum level on a computer is ...

  9. sum (Unix) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sum_(Unix)

    For each byte of the input stream Perform 16-bit bitwise right rotation by 1 bit on the checksum; Add the byte to the checksum, and apply modulo 2 ^ 16 to the result, thereby keeping it within 16 bits; The result is a 16-bit checksum; The above algorithm appeared in Seventh Edition Unix. The System V sum, -s in GNU sum and -o2 in FreeBSD cksum:
