About Yottabits per second

Yottabit per second (Ybit/s) = 10²⁴ bit/s (SI). Theoretical physics scale. Landauer's principle: erasing 10²⁴ bits/s at 300 K dissipates ≈2.85 kW minimum - surprisingly affordable, yet no physical medium can carry this rate. SI added 'ronna-' (10²⁷) and 'quetta-' (10³⁰) prefixes in 2022 for scales beyond yotta. 1 Ybit/s = 10²⁴ bit/s = 125 ZB/s.

About Petabytes per second

Petabyte per second (PB/s) = 10¹⁵ B/s (SI). Theoretical for single systems. NTT 2024 fibre lab record = 191 TB/s ≈ 0.19 PB/s. Exascale HPC with 10,000 nodes × 10 TB/s memory bandwidth each = 100,000 TB/s = 100 PB/s in aggregate - plausible as a cluster total but not a single link. Global all-data-centre combined write throughput ≈ 1-10 PB/s. 1 PB/s = 10¹⁵ B/s = 8 Pbit/s.
