  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. 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 ...

  4. Comparison of Unicode encodings - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Unicode...

    The tables below list the number of bytes per code point for different Unicode ranges. Any additional comments needed are included in the table. The figures assume that overheads at the start and end of the block of text are negligible. N.B. The tables below list numbers of bytes per code point, not per user visible "character" (or "grapheme ...

    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. UTF-8 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTF-8

    Only a small subset of possible byte strings are error-free UTF-8: several bytes cannot appear; a byte with the high bit set cannot be alone; and in a truly random string a byte with a high bit set has only a 1 ⁄ 15 chance of starting a valid UTF-8 character. This has the (possibly unintended) consequence of making it easy to detect if a ...

  9. Variable-width encoding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable-width_encoding

    [1] [a] Most common variable-width encodings are multibyte encodings (aka MBCS – multi-byte character set), which use varying numbers of bytes to encode different characters. (Some authors, notably in Microsoft documentation, use the term multibyte character set, which is a misnomer , because representation size is an attribute of the ...
