| There are 8 bits in a byte, 1024 bytes in a kilobyte, and 1024 kilobytes in a megabyte. |
| Storage is measured in bytes, one byte containing eight bits, and representing storage for one character in European alphabets. |
| Here is how this four byte sequence is interpreted as an unsigned integer under the two ordering conventions. |
| The time it takes to read a single byte at random is MUCH higher on a rambus system than on a DDR system. |
| A group of eight bits makes up a byte, which can represent many types of information, such as a letter of the alphabet or decimal character. |
| The interesting thing is to watch them write a subroutine that counts all the bits in a byte, then ask them to make it much, much faster. |
