  2. Binary prefix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_prefix

    A binary prefix is a unit prefix that indicates a multiple of a unit of measurement by an integer power of two.The most commonly used binary prefixes are kibi (symbol Ki, meaning 2 10 = 1024), mebi (Mi, 2 20 = 1 048 576), and gibi (Gi, 2 30 = 1 073 741 824).

  3. Units of information - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Units_of_information

    Units are defined as multiples of a smaller unit except for the smallest unit which is based on convention and hardware design. Multiplier prefixes are used to describe relatively large sizes. For binary hardware , by far the most common hardware today, the smallest unit is the bit , a portmanteau of binary digit, [ 1 ] which represents a value ...

    KASY0 was the first sub-US$ 100/GFLOPS computing technology. KASY0 achieved 471 GFLOPS on 32-bit HPL. At a cost of less than $39,500, that makes it the first supercomputer to break $100/GFLOPS. [81] August 2007: $48.31 $73.26 Microwulf As of August 2007, this 26 GFLOPS "personal" Beowulf cluster can be built for $1256. [82] March 2011: $1.80 $2 ...

  5. Percentage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percentage

    To calculate a percentage of a percentage, convert both percentages to fractions of 100, or to decimals, and multiply them. For example, 50% of 40% is: ⁠ 50 / 100 ⁠ × ⁠ 40 / 100 ⁠ = 0.50 × 0.40 = 0.20 = ⁠ 20 / 100 ⁠ = 20%. It is not correct to divide by 100 and use the percent sign at the same time; it would literally imply ...

  6. Logarithmic scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logarithmic_scale

    A logarithmic unit is a unit that can be used to express a quantity (physical or mathematical) on a logarithmic scale, that is, as being proportional to the value of a logarithm function applied to the ratio of the quantity and a reference quantity of the same type. The choice of unit generally indicates the type of quantity and the base of the ...

  7. Parts-per notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parts-per_notation

    Parts-per notation is often used describing dilute solutions in chemistry, for instance, the relative abundance of dissolved minerals or pollutants in water.The quantity "1 ppm" can be used for a mass fraction if a water-borne pollutant is present at one-millionth of a gram per gram of sample solution.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floating-point_unit

    A floating-point unit (FPU), numeric processing unit (NPU), [1] colloquially math coprocessor, is a part of a computer system specially designed to carry out operations on floating-point numbers. [2] Typical operations are addition , subtraction , multiplication , division , and square root .

  9. RDNA 2 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RDNA_2

    RDNA 2 contains a significant increase in the number of Compute Units (CUs) with a maximum of 80, a doubling from the maximum of 40 in the Radeon RX 5700 XT. [1] Each Compute Unit contains 64 shader cores. [7] CUs are organized into groups of two named Work Group Processors with 32 KB of shared L0 cache per WGP.
