160 bits (20 bytes) – maximum key length of the SHA-1, standard Tiger (hash function), and Tiger2 cryptographic message digest algorithms 2 8: 256 bits (32 bytes) – minimum key length for the recommended strong cryptographic message digests as of 2004 – size of an AVX2 vector register, present on newer x86-64 CPUs 2 9: 512 bits (64 bytes)
2048 bytes = 2 KiB: A CD-ROM sector; 4096 bytes = 4 KiB: A memory page in x86 (since Intel 80386) and many other architectures, also the modern Advanced Format hard disk drive sector size. 4 kB: About one page of text from a novel; 120 kB: The text of a typical pocket book; 1 MiB: A 1024×1024 pixel bitmap image with 256 colors (8 bpp color depth)
The kilobyte is a multiple of the unit byte for digital information. 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]
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]
In this era, bit groupings in the instruction stream were often referred to as syllables [a] or slab, before the term byte became common. The modern de facto standard of eight bits, as documented in ISO/IEC 2382-1:1993, is a convenient power of two permitting the binary-encoded values 0 through 255 for one byte, as 2 to the power of 8 is 256. [8]
Memory capacity for the 70/45 ranged from a minimum of 16,384 bytes (16 KB) to 262,144 bytes (256 KB). The memory cycle time was 1.44 microseconds to access two bytes (one half word) of information. This model weighed 1,900–2,700 pounds (860–1,220 kg).
The 5.25-inch diskette sold with the IBM PC AT could hold 1200 × 1024 = 1 228 800 bytes, and thus was marketed as "1200 KB" with the binary sense of "KB". [40] However, the capacity was also quoted "1.2 MB", [ 41 ] which was a hybrid decimal and binary notation, since the "M" meant 1000 × 1024.
