    Bunyip was the first sub-US$ 1/MFLOPS computing technology. It won the Gordon Bell Prize in 2000. May 2000: $640 $1,132 KLAT2: KLAT2 was the first computing technology which scaled to large applications while staying under US$ 1/MFLOPS. [80] August 2003: $83.86 $138.9 KASY0 KASY0 was the first sub-US$ 100/GFLOPS computing technology. KASY0 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton_(unit)

    A newton is defined as 1 kg⋅m/s 2 (it is a named derived unit defined in terms of the SI base units). [1]: 137 One newton is, therefore, the force needed to accelerate one kilogram of mass at the rate of one metre per second squared in the direction of the applied force.

    The highest numerical value banknote ever printed was a note for 1 sextillion pengő (10 21 or 1 milliard bilpengő as printed) printed in Hungary in 1946. In 2009, Zimbabwe printed a 100 trillion (10 14 ) Zimbabwean dollar note, which at the time of printing was worth about US$30. [ 13 ]

    In standard form, it is written as 1 × 10 9. ... Any object that weighs one billion kilograms (2.2 × 10 9 lb) would weigh about as much as 5,525 empty Boeing 747-400s.

  6. Order of magnitude - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_magnitude

    [1] For example, 1 and 1.02 are within an order of magnitude. So are 1 and 2, 1 and 9, or 1 and 0.2. However, 1 and 15 are not within an order of magnitude, since their ratio is 15/1 = 15 > 10. The reciprocal ratio, 1/15, is less than 0.1, so the same result is obtained.

    The factor is intended to make reading comprehension easier than a lengthy series of zeros. For example, 1.0 × 10 9 expresses one billion—1 followed by nine zeros. The reciprocal, one billionth, is 1.0 × 10 −9.

    Visualization of 1 trillion (short scale) A Rubik's cube, which has about 43 trillion (long scale) possible positions. Trillion is a number with two distinct definitions: 1,000,000,000,000, i.e. one million million, or 10 12 (ten to the twelfth power), as defined on the short scale. This is now the meaning in both American and British English.

    The nanometre (SI symbol: nm) is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10 −9 metres (⁠ 1 / 1 000 000 000 ⁠ m = 0. 000 000 001 m). To help compare different orders of magnitude, this section lists lengths between 10 −9 and 10 −8 m (1 nm and 10 nm). 1 nm – diameter of a carbon nanotube
