Orphan date February 2009 Unreferenced date September 2007 The binary effect is the unofficial technical term referring to the discrepancy between different reported sizes for computer hard drives and other storage media. This happens because drive manufacturers measure a gigabyte as 1,000,000,000 1 billion bytes, while a computer measures a gigabyte as 1,073,741,824 bytes. For example, the Western Digital 500 gigabyte GB SE16 has an exact size of 500,105,216,000 bytes. Although this is 500 gigabytes, in binary prefix binary gigabytes this is only 465 gigabytes. Error correction data and other file system usage can also attribute to this. CD ROM media is usually unaffected. It does, however, apply to DVD ROM , hard drives , Zip disks, floppy disks , and nearly all types of flash memory .

File size measure s the size of a computer computer file file . Typically it is measured in byte s with a prefix . The actual amount of Computer data storage disk space consumed by the file depends on the file system . The maximum file size a file system supports depends on the number of bit s reserved to store size information and the total size of the file system. For example, with File Allocation Table FAT32 , the size of one file cannot be equal or larger than 4 Gibibyte GiB . Some common file size units are 1 Kibibyte KiB 1,024 bytes 1 Mebibyte MiB 1,048,576 bytes ref 2 20 1 048 576 ref 1 Gibibyte GiB 1,073,741,824 bytes ref 2 30 1 073 741 824 ref 1 Tebibyte TiB 1,099,511,627,776 bytes ref 2 40 1 099 511 627 776 ref . These units are often described using the terms Kilobyte KB , Megabyte MB , Gigabyte GB and Terabyte TB respectively. This is technically imprecise, because the prefixes kilo, mega, giga and tera refer respectively to multiplication by 10 sup 3 sup , 10 sup 6 sup , 10 sup 9 sup and 10 sup 12 sup . However, the power of two based prefixes have yet to find widespread usage, so some ambiguity remains. For example, a hard disk which is described by its maker as having a capacity of 200 GB will have a capacity very close to 200 x 10 sup 9 sup bytes. Yet, when such a disk is freshly formatted and installed in a machine running Microsoft Windows , the operating system will report the size as approximately 186 GB this value can vary slightly depending on the exact capacity of the drive and the file system used . This is because Windows is actually reporting the size in GiB and 186 GiB is approximately equal to 200 GB.

Lead rewrite date July 2010 Expert subject date July 2010 Unreferenced date July 2010 In computer technology, transfer and its more common derivatives gigatransfer GT and megatransfer MT refer to a number of data transfers or operations . It is also known as data samples captured per second, and each sample normally occurs at the clock edge. They are most commonly used for measuring transfer rates usually as transfers per second, GT s, MT s, etc. . 1 GT s means 10 sup 9 sup or one US Long and short scales short scale 1,000,000,000 number billion transfers per second, while 1 MT s is 10 sup 6 sup or one million transfers per second. In order to calculate the data transmission rate, one has to multiply the transfer rate by the information channel width. For example if we have a data bus of 8 bytes with transfer rate of 1 GT s then the data rate would be 8x10 sup 9 sup bytes s, i.e., 8 GB s, which may also be expressed as approximately 7.45 Gibibyte GiB s. The formula for a data transfer rate Width in bytes P T s P B s where P is your prefix. Expanding the width of a transfer path between, say, a cpu and a Northbridge computing northbridge , allows for an increase in bandwidth without an actual increase in operating frequency between these two points, separated by as much as several cm. Same concept as ping vs. download bandwidth, where the ping is the inverse of frequency. The physical limit is the speed at which you can change the electric field down a wire Citation needed date January 2011 . The units usually refer to the effective number of transfers, or transfers perceived from outside of a system or component, as opposed to the internal speed or rate of the clock of the system. One example is a computer bus running at double data rate where data is transferred on both the rising and falling edge of the clock signal. If its internal clock runs at 100 MHz, then the effective rate is 200 MT s, because there are 100 million rising edges per second ... more details

It was written by Gordon Letwin and others at Microsoft and added to OS 2 version 1.2, at that time still a joint undertaking of Microsoft and International Business Machines IBM . Among its improvements are support for mixed case file names, in different code pages support for long file names 255 characters as opposed to FAT s 8 3 characters more efficient use of disk space files are not stored using multiple sector clusters but on a per sector basis an internal architecture that keeps related items close to each other on the disk volume less file system fragmentation fragmentation of data extent based space allocation separate datestamps for last modification, last access, and creation as opposed to FAT s one last modification datestamp a B tree structure for directories root directory located at the mid point, rather than beginning of the disk, for faster average access HPFS also can keep 64 Kibibyte KiB of Metadata computing metadata extended attribute s per file.

File Earth simulator ES2.jpg 250px right thumb Earth Simulator File EarthSimulator.jpg 250px right thumb An older version of Earth Simulator The Earth Simulator ES , developed by the Japanese government s initiative Earth Simulator Project , was a highly parallel vector supercomputer system for running global climate model s to evaluate the effects of global warming and problems in solid earth geophysics. The system was developed for Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency , Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute , and Japan Marine Science and Technology Center in 1997. Construction started in October 1999, and the site officially opened on March 11, 2002. The project cost 60 billion yen. Built by Nippon Electric Corporation NEC , ES was based on their NEC SX 6 SX 6 architecture. It consisted of 640 nodes with eight vector processor s and 16 gibibyte s of computer memory at each node, for a total of 5120 central processing unit processor s and 10 terabyte s of memory. Two nodes were installed per 1 metre x 1.4 metre x 2 metre cabinet. Each cabinet consumed 20 kW of power. The system had 700 terabyte s of disk storage 450 for the system and 250 for the users and 1.6 petabyte s of mass storage in tape drive s. It was able to run holistic simulations of global climate in both the atmosphere and the oceans down to a resolution of 10 km. Its performance on the LINPACK benchmark was 35.86 TFLOPS, which was almost five times faster than ASCI White . ES was the fastest supercomputer in the world from 2002 to 2004. Its capacity was surpassed by IBM s Blue Gene Blue Gene L prototype on September 29, 2004. ES was replaced by the Earth Simulator 2 ES2 in March 2009. ref cite web url http insidehpc.com 2009 03 01 japans earth simulator 2 open for business date 1 March 2009 title Japan s Earth Simulator 2 open for business ref ES2 is an NEC SX 9 SX 9 E system, and has a quarter as many nodes each of 12.8 times the performance 3.2x clock speed, four times the processing resou ... more details
No footnotes date March 2009 Lead too short date April 2009 Large file support , often abbreviated to LFS , is the term frequently applied to the ability to create files larger than 2 gibibyte GiB on 32 bit operating system s. Rationale Traditionally, many operating systems and their underlying file system implementations used 32 bit integer s to represent computer file file sizes and positions. Consequently no file could be larger than 2 sup 32 sup bytes 4 GiB . The problem was exacerbated by treating the sizes as signedness signed numbers, which further lowered the limit to 2 sup 31 sup bytes 2 GiB . Files larger than 2 GiB, too large for 32 bit operating systems to handle, came to be known as large files . While the 2 GiB limit was quite acceptable at a time when hard disk s were smaller, the general increase in storage capacity combined with increased server and desktop file usage, especially for database and multimedia files, led to intense pressure for OS vendors to remove the limitation. In 1996, multiple vendors responded by forming an industry initiative known as the Large File Summit thus LFS can be considered to stand for either Large file support or Large File Summit , tasked to define a standardized way to switch to 64 bit numbers to represent file sizes. Merely ensuring the sizes were treated as signedness unsigned numbers would only up the limit from 2 GiB to 4 GiB, which would have been only a stopgap measure given the explosive growth in data storage. It is worth noting that 64 bit operating systems such as Tru64 UNIX never had a 32 bit limit to begin with, and hence needed no additional large file support . This switch caused deployment issues and required design choices the consequences of which can still be seen The change to 64 bit file sizes frequently required incompatible changes to file system layout, which meant that large file support sometimes necessitated a file system change. For example, Microsoft Windows File Allocation Table FAT32 fi ... more details
