  2. Orders of magnitude (data) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude_(data)

    1.1 × 10 25 bits – entropy increase of 1 mole (18.02 g) of water, on vaporizing at 100 °C at standard pressure; equivalent to an average of 18.90 bits per molecule. [ 24 ] 1.5 × 10 25 bits – information content of 1 mole (20.18 g) of neon gas at 25 °C and 1 atm; equivalent to an average of 25.39 bits per atom.

  3. Kilobyte - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilobyte

    The kilobyte is a multiple of the unit byte for digital information. A kilobyte may refer to either 1000 or 1024 bytes. The International System of Units (SI) defines the prefix kilo as a multiplication factor of 1000 (10 3); therefore, one kilobyte is 1000 bytes. [1] The internationally recommended unit symbol for the kilobyte is kB. [1]

  4. Byte - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte

    The byte is a unit of digital information that most commonly consists of eight bits.Historically, the byte was the number of bits used to encode a single character of text in a computer [1] [2] and for this reason it is the smallest addressable unit of memory in many computer architectures.

  6. Optical storage media writing and reading speed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_storage_media...

    In the history of optical storage media there have been and there are different optical disc formats with different data writing/reading speeds.. Original CD-ROM drives could read data at about 150 kB/s, 1× constant angular velocity (CAV), [1] the same speed of compact disc players without buffering.

  7. TCP window scale option - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TCP_window_scale_option

    TCP window scale option is needed for efficient transfer of data when the bandwidth-delay product (BDP) is greater than 64 KB [1].For instance, if a T1 transmission line of 1.5 Mbit/s was used over a satellite link with a 513 millisecond round-trip time (RTT), the bandwidth-delay product is ,, =, bits or about 96,187 bytes.

  8. File size - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_size

    Due to typical file system design, the amount of space allocated for a file is usually larger than the size of the file's data – resulting in a relatively small amount of storage space for each file, called slack space or internal fragmentation, that is not available for other files but is not used for data in the file to which it belongs.

  9. Computer performance by orders of magnitude - Wikipedia

    1×10 −1: multiplication of two 10-digit numbers by a 1940s electromechanical desk calculator [1] 3×10 −1: multiplication on Zuse Z3 and Z4, first programmable digital computers, 1941 and 1945 respectively; 5×10 −1: computing power of the average human mental calculation [clarification needed] for multiplication using pen and paper
