Gigabyte
A gigabyte (GB) is a unit of digital information equal to one billion bytes, commonly used to measure data storage capacity.
History/Origin
The gigabyte was introduced in the 1970s as part of the binary prefix system, initially representing 2^30 bytes (1,073,741,824 bytes). Over time, it has also been used to denote decimal gigabytes of 10^9 bytes, especially in marketing storage devices.
Current Use
Gigabytes are widely used today to quantify storage capacity of computers, smartphones, and other digital devices, as well as data transfer limits and file sizes in various applications.
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.
