About Petabits

A petabit (Pbit) = 10¹⁵ bits (SI). Major internet exchange points (DE-CIX, AMS-IX) handle peak traffic of multi-Tbit/s, accumulating Pbits per hour. Bell Labs (2022) achieved 1.02 Pbit/s over a single fibre pair. CERN LHC distributes ≈ 720 Pbit/year through the WLCG computing grid. 100 wavelengths at 800 Gbit/s each = 80 Tbit/s per fibre; ≈13 such fibres = 1 Pbit/s. 1 Pbit = 10¹⁵ bits = 125 TB.

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.
