  2. Data-rate units - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data-rate_units

    The ISQ symbols for the bit and byte are bit and B, respectively.In the context of data-rate units, one byte consists of 8 bits, and is synonymous with the unit octet.The abbreviation bps is often used to mean bit/s, so that when a 1 Mbps connection is advertised, it usually means that the maximum achievable bandwidth is 1 Mbit/s (one million bits per second), which is 0.125 MB/s (megabyte per ...

  3. Measuring network throughput - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Measuring_network_throughput

    In actuality, a 64 kilobyte file is 64 × 1,024 × 8 bits in size and the 64 k circuit will transmit bits at a rate of 64 × 1,000 bit/s, so the amount of time taken to transmit a 64 kilobyte file over the 64 k circuit will be at least (64 × 1,024 × 8)/(64 × 1,000) seconds, which works out to be 8.192 seconds.

  4. Bit rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bit_rate

    In telecommunications and computing, bit rate (bitrate or as a variable R) is the number of bits that are conveyed or processed per unit of time. [1]The bit rate is expressed in the unit bit per second (symbol: bit/s), often in conjunction with an SI prefix such as kilo (1 kbit/s = 1,000 bit/s), mega (1 Mbit/s = 1,000 kbit/s), giga (1 Gbit/s = 1,000 Mbit/s) or tera (1 Tbit/s = 1,000 Gbit/s).

  7. Memory bandwidth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_bandwidth

    The specified bandwidth (6400) is the maximum megabytes transferred per second using a 64-bit width. In a dual-channel mode configuration, this is effectively a 128-bit width. Thus, the memory configuration in the example can be simplified as: two DDR2-800 modules running in dual-channel mode.

  8. Transfers per second - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transfers_per_second

    The bit rate for this example is 64 Gbit/s (8 × 8 × 10 9 bit/s). The formula for a data transfer rate is: Channel width (bits/transfer) × transfers/second = bits/second . Expanding the width of a channel, for example that between a CPU and a northbridge , increases data throughput without requiring an increase in the channel's operating ...
