  2. Universally unique identifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universally_unique_identifier

    Instead, it returns a 16-byte 128-bit RAW value based on a host identifier and a process or thread identifier, somewhat similar to a GUID. [34] PostgreSQL contains a UUID datatype [35] and can generate most versions of UUIDs through the use of functions from modules. [36] [37] MySQL provides a UUID function, which generates standard version-1 ...

  3. U-form - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U-form

    A UUID is defined as an array of bytes that is intended to be unique in the Universe. Note that these are not limited to the standards for ISO, Microsoft, or DCE UUIDs though those are examples of acceptable sources of UUIDs.

  4. 128-bit computing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/128-bit_computing

    Universally unique identifiers (UUID) consist of a 128-bit value. IPv6 routes computer network traffic amongst a 128-bit range of addresses. ZFS is a 128-bit file system. 128 bits is a common key size for symmetric ciphers and a common block size for block ciphers in cryptography. The IBM i Machine Interface defines all pointers as 128-bit. The ...

    36 bits – size of word on Univac 1100-series computers and Digital Equipment Corporation's PDP-10 56 bits (7 bytes) – cipher strength of the DES encryption standard 2 6: 64 bits (8 bytes) – size of an integer capable of holding 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 different values – size of an IEEE 754 double-precision floating point number

  6. GUID Partition Table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GUID_Partition_Table

    The layout of a disk with the GUID Partition Table. In this example, each logical block is 512 bytes in size and each entry has 128 bytes. The corresponding partition entries are assumed to be located in LBA 2–33. Negative LBA addresses indicate a position from the end of the volume, with −1 being the last addressable block.

  7. Organizationally unique identifier - Wikipedia

    However, since IEEE 802.3 (Ethernet) and IEEE 802.4 send the bytes (octets) over the wire, left-to-right, with least significant bit in each byte first, while IEEE 802.5 and IEEE 802.6 send the bytes over the wire with the most significant bit first, confusion may arise when an OUI in the latter scenario is represented with bits reversed from ...

    This article includes a list of general references, but it lacks sufficient corresponding inline citations. Please help to improve this article by introducing more precise citations. (July 2019) (Learn how and when to remove this message) This article compares Unicode encodings in two types of environments: 8-bit clean environments, and environments that forbid the use of byte values with the ...

  9. Units of information - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Units_of_information

    The byte, 8 bits, 2 nibbles, is possibly the most commonly known and used base unit to describe data size. The word is a size that varies by and has a special importance for a particular hardware context. On modern hardware, a word is typically 2, 4 or 8 bytes, but the size varies dramatically on older hardware.
