Byte
A byte (B) is a unit of digital information that typically consists of eight bits and is used to represent a single character in computer systems.
History/Origin
The byte was introduced in the early days of computer architecture to standardize the amount of data used to encode a character. It became a fundamental unit in data storage and processing, evolving alongside advancements in computing technology.
Current Use
Bytes are used to measure and specify data size in computer memory, storage devices, and data transfer rates. They form the basis for larger units like kilobytes, megabytes, and gigabytes, and are essential in programming, data management, and digital communication.
Exabit
An exabit (Eb) is a unit of digital information equal to 10^18 bits or 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 bits.
History/Origin
The exabit was introduced as part of the binary prefix system to represent large data quantities, aligning with the International System of Units (SI) prefixes, and gained recognition with the increasing need for measuring massive data storage and transfer capacities in the digital age.
Current Use
Exabits are primarily used in contexts involving extremely large data storage capacities, high-speed data transfer rates, and global data infrastructure metrics, especially in data centers, cloud storage, and internet backbone measurements.
