About these units
Exabyte (10^18 bytes) (EB (10^18))
A decimal exabyte equals exactly 1 quintillion bytes, and it is the standard for expressing large-scale cloud storage and global data production metrics. Industry analysts estimate that total global digital data now exceeds multiple decimal exabytes per year, driven by IoT devices, streaming services, AI workloads, and high-resolution media. The decimal exabyte serves as a measure of humanity's digital footprint, making it one of the most symbolic data units of the information age.
Word (word)
A word is a unit of data whose size depends on the computer architecture, traditionally 16 bits but now often 32 or 64 bits. The word size determines the natural chunk of data a processor handles in a single operation, affecting register width, memory addressing, arithmetic precision, and overall system performance. As architectures evolved from early 8-bit systems to modern 64-bit CPUs, the meaning of "word" expanded too. Words are deeply tied to machine instructions, where addressing modes, opcodes, and data structures rely on word alignment. Thus, the word is both a conceptual and structural building block for computing hardware.
