    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude_(time)

    ns One billionth of one second 1 ns: The time needed to execute one machine cycle by a 1 GHz microprocessor 1 ns: The time light takes to travel 30 cm (11.811 in) 10 −6: microsecond: μs One millionth of one second 1 μs: The time needed to execute one machine cycle by an Intel 80186 microprocessor 2.2 μs: The lifetime of a muon

  3. Microsecond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsecond

    10 microseconds (μs) – cycle time for frequency 100 kHz, radio wavelength 3 km. 18 microseconds – net amount per year that the length of the day lengthens, largely due to tidal acceleration. [3] 20.8 microseconds – sampling interval for digital audio with 48,000 samples/s. 22.7 microseconds – sampling interval for CD audio (44,100 ...

  4. Slew rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slew_rate

    Expressed in SI units, the unit of measurement is given as the change per second, but in the context of electronic circuits a slew rate is usually expressed in terms of microseconds (μs) or nanoseconds (ns).

  5. Bit time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bit_time

    To calculate the bit time for a 10 Mbit/s NIC, use the formula as follows: bit time = 1 / (10 * 10^6) = 10^-7 = 100 * 10^-9 = 100 nanoseconds The bit time for a 10 Mbit/s NIC is 100 nanoseconds. That is, a 10 Mbit/s NIC can eject 1 bit every 0.1 microsecond (100 nanoseconds = 0.1 microseconds).

  6. Harvard Mark III - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvard_Mark_III

    The Harvard Mark III, also known as ADEC (for Aiken Dahlgren Electronic Calculator) was an early computer that was partially electronic and partially electromechanical.It was built at Harvard University under the supervision of Howard Aiken for use at Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division.

  7. Error analysis for the Global Positioning System - Wikipedia

    These effects are added together to give (rounded to 10 ns): 45850 – 7210 = 38640 ns. Hence the satellites' clocks gain approximately 38,640 nanoseconds a day or 38.6 μs per day due to relativistic effects in total. In order to compensate for this gain, a GPS clock's frequency needs to be slowed by the fraction:

  8. Memory latency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_latency

    1 megabit DRAMs with 70 ns latency on a 30-pin SIMM module. Modern DDR4 DIMMs have latencies under 15 ns. [1]Memory latency is the time (the latency) between initiating a request for a byte or word in memory until it is retrieved by a processor.

  9. Nanosecond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanosecond

    A nanosecond (ns) is a unit of time in the International System of Units (SI) equal to one billionth of a second, that is, ⁠ 1 / 1 000 000 000 ⁠ of a second, or 10 −9 seconds. The term combines the SI prefix nano- indicating a 1 billionth submultiple of an SI unit (e.g. nanogram, nanometre , etc.) and second , the primary unit of time in ...
