Kilobyte (10^3 Bytes)
A kilobyte (KB) is a unit of digital information equal to 1,000 bytes, based on the decimal system.
History/Origin
The term 'kilobyte' originated in the early days of computing to represent 1,000 bytes, aligning with the SI prefix 'kilo'. Over time, it has also been used to denote 1,024 bytes in some contexts, especially in computer memory, leading to some ambiguity.
Current Use
Today, 'kilobyte' typically refers to 1,000 bytes in data storage and transfer contexts, following the decimal system. However, in computer memory, it is often used to mean 1,024 bytes, reflecting the binary system.
Nibble
A nibble is a unit of digital information equal to four bits, or half of a byte.
History/Origin
The concept of a nibble originated in the early days of computer architecture to simplify the representation of hexadecimal digits, which are four bits each. It was commonly used in the development of early microprocessors and data encoding schemes.
Current Use
Today, nibbles are primarily used in contexts involving hexadecimal notation, low-level data manipulation, and understanding data structures in computing. They are less commonly referenced explicitly but remain fundamental in digital electronics and computer science education.
