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 Mebibytes

A mebibyte (MiB) = 2²⁰ = 1,048,576 bytes (IEC 80000-13). Windows/older macOS report sizes in MiB but label them 'MB'. Linux malloc and kernel pages are power-of-2 aligned. Docker images: Alpine base 5 MiB; Ubuntu 72 MiB. Linux kernel bzImage 8-12 MiB. NVIDIA RTX 4090: 24 GiB GDDR6X in 2-GiB binary chunks. 1 MiB = 1,048,576 bytes = 1,024 KiB.
