About these units
Petabyte (PB)
A petabyte is 1 quadrillion bytes in decimal (10¹⁵) or 1,125,899,906,842,624 bytes in binary (2⁵⁰). At this size, storage enters the realm of massive data infrastructures: internet archive collections, large-scale scientific simulations, genomic sequencing databases, machine learning datasets containing billions of records, multinational cloud storage networks. A single PB can store thousands of HD films, millions of e-books, or extensive enterprise backups. Petabytes mark the transition from everyday computing into large-scale data engineering, distributed systems, and global information ecosystems.
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.
