About Exbibits
An exbibit (Eibit) = 2⁶⁰ ≈ 1.15 × 10¹⁸ bits (IEC 80000-13). A 60-bit physical address bus would address 2⁶⁰ bytes = 128 EiB of byte-addressable memory - far beyond current DRAM. Current x86-64 supports up to 52-bit physical addresses (4 PiB); ARM and Intel roadmaps extend toward 57 bits. Global annual NAND flash production capacity ≈ 500 EB ≈ 4,000 Eibits. IBM tape roadmap targets 580 TB/cartridge by 2030; 1 Eibit ≈ 2,000 such cartridges. 1 Eibit = 2⁶⁰ bits = 128 PiB.
About Bits
The bit (b) is the fundamental unit of digital information - a single binary digit: 0 or 1. Coined by John Tukey in 1948; formalised by Claude Shannon. Physically realised as transistor states (SRAM/DRAM), magnetic domains (HDD), charge levels in NAND flash (MLC=2, TLC=3, QLC=4 bits per cell). Shannon entropy: a coin flip = 1 bit; a card drawn from a 52-card deck ≈ 5.7 bits. 1 bit = 1/4 nibble = 1/8 byte.
