  2. Bitwise operations in C - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitwise_operations_in_C

    For example, when shifting a 32 bit unsigned integer, a shift amount of 32 or higher would be undefined. Example: If the variable ch contains the bit pattern 11100101, then ch >> 1 will produce the result 01110010, and ch >> 2 will produce 00111001. Here blank spaces are generated simultaneously on the left when the bits are shifted to the right.

    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 ...

  4. 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.

  5. Bit field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bit_field

    Writing, reading or toggling bits in flags can be done only using the OR, AND and NOT operations – operations which can be performed quickly in the processor. To set a bit, OR the status byte with a mask byte. Any bits set in the mask byte or the status byte will be set in the result. To toggle a bit, XOR the status byte and the mask byte ...

  6. Computer number format - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_number_format

    A byte is a bit string containing the number of bits needed to represent a character. On most modern computers, this is an eight bit string. Because the definition of a byte is related to the number of bits composing a character, some older computers have used a different bit length for their byte. [2]

  7. 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.

  8. 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:

  9. C data types - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_data_types

    The minimum size for char is 8 bits, the minimum size for short and int is 16 bits, for long it is 32 bits and long long must contain at least 64 bits. The type int should be the integer type that the target processor is most efficiently working with.
