Actually, Tanel was right on the money with zetta and yotta. Here's a small table: Prefix Abbr. Base 10 Base 2 ------ ----- ------- ------ kilo- k 10^3 2^10 mega- M 10^6 2^20 giga- G 10^9 2^30 tera- T 10^12 2^40 peta- P 10^15 2^50 exa- E 10^18 2^60 zetta- Z 10^21 2^70 yotta- Y 10^24 2^80
So, a yottabyte is really astronomical. A 64-bit CPU could theoretically address 16 exabytes of memory. -Mark -----Original Message----- From: Jonathan Gennick [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thu 12/11/2003 9:39 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Cc: Subject: Re[4]: http://www.wintercorp.com/vldb/2003_TopTen_Survey/TopTenWinners.a sp Thursday, December 11, 2003, 6:14:25 PM, Tanel Poder ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) wrote: TP> Hurry up, zettabyte and yottabyte might still be free ;) Actually, now I wonder, how far do the names go? We have kilobyte, megabyte, gigabyte, terabyte, petabyte, and then what?
