  3. 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 ...

  4. Megabyte - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megabyte

    The megabyte is a multiple of the unit byte for digital information. Its recommended unit symbol is MB. The unit prefix mega is a multiplier of 1 000 000 (10 6) in the International System of Units (SI). [1] Therefore, one megabyte is one million bytes of information. This definition has been incorporated into the International System of ...

  6. Data conversion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_conversion

    For example, it is possible to convert Cyrillic text from KOI8-R to Windows-1251 using a lookup table between the two encodings, but the modern approach is to convert the KOI8-R file to Unicode first and from that to Windows-1251. This is a more manageable approach; rather than needing lookup tables for all possible pairs of character encodings ...

  7. List of interface bit rates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_interface_bit_rates

    This is a list of interface bit rates, is a measure of information transfer rates, or digital bandwidth capacity, at which digital interfaces in a computer or network can communicate over various kinds of buses and channels.

    1 byte: A number from 0 to 255; 90 bytes: Enough to store a typical line of text from a book; 512 bytes = 0.5 KiB: The typical sector size of an old style hard disk drive (modern Advanced Format sectors are 4096 bytes). 1024 bytes = 1 KiB: A block size in some older UNIX filesystems; 2048 bytes = 2 KiB: A CD-ROM sector

  9. Computer number format - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_number_format

    On most modern computers, this is an eight bit string. Because the definition of a byte is related to the number of bits composing a character, some older computers have used a different bit length for their byte. [2] In many computer architectures, the byte is the smallest addressable unit, the atom of addressability, say. For example, even ...
