An exbibit (Eib) is a unit of digital information equal to 260 bits, which is 1,152,921,504,606,846,976 bits. It uses the binary prefix 'exbi-' established by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). The exbibit is closely related to the exabit (Eb), which is defined using the SI decimal prefix 'exa-' as 1018 bits.
An exabit (Eb) is a unit of digital information equal to 1018 bits, or 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 bits (one quintillion bits). It uses the standard SI decimal prefix 'exa-'.
Note: The Exbibit is part of the imperial/US customary system, primarily used in the US, UK, and Canada for everyday measurements. The Exabit belongs to the imperial/US customary system.
History of the Exbibit and Exabit
The prefix 'exbi-' (for 260) was established by the IEC in 1998, along with other binary prefixes (kibi-, mebi-, gibi-, tebi-, pebi-). This was done to resolve the ambiguity surrounding the use of SI prefixes (like kilo, mega, giga) to represent both powers of 1000 and powers of 1024 in digital information contexts. The term 'exbibit' specifically denotes the 260 multiple of bits, ensuring clarity in technical specifications. Its practical relevance grew with the need to precisely measure extremely large data capacities and transfers in binary terms.
The prefix 'exa-' (representing 1018) was adopted as an SI prefix by the General Conference on Weights and Measures (CGPM) in 1975. Its application to the bit (exabit) followed the increasing need to quantify extremely large amounts of digital information and data transfer rates in telecommunications and large-scale networking.
Common Uses and Applications: exbibits vs exabits
Explore the typical applications for both Exbibit (imperial/US) and Exabit (imperial/US) to understand their common contexts.
Common Uses for exbibits
Exbibits are used in highly technical fields where precise measurement of very large quantities of data based on powers of 2 is necessary. Common contexts include:
- Theoretical specifications for large-scale computer memory architectures.
- Advanced file system design and capacity reporting where binary multiples are standard.
- Specific large-scale scientific computing applications demanding exact binary measurements (e.g., massive simulations, data analysis).
- Technical documentation comparing binary and decimal data magnitudes at the exa-scale.
It is significantly less common in everyday language or consumer-facing specifications compared to the exabit (Eb) or exabyte (EB).
When to Use exabits
Exabits are used to measure very large volumes of data, typically in contexts such as:
- Total global internet traffic over extended periods (e.g., annually).
- Aggregate data transfer across major international network backbones.
- Theoretical capacities of future large-scale data storage systems or networks.
- High-level discussions of data generated by large scientific projects (like particle physics or astronomy).
It is less common in consumer contexts compared to smaller units like gigabits or terabits.
Additional Unit Information
About Exbibit (Eib)
How many bits are in an exbibit?
There are exactly 260 bits in 1 exbibit (Eib). This equals 1,152,921,504,606,846,976 bits.
How many pebibits (Pib) are in an exbibit (Eib)?
There are 1,024 pebibits (Pib) in 1 exbibit (Eib). This is because 1 Eib = 260 bits and 1 Pib = 250 bits, and 260 / 250 = 210 = 1,024.
What is the difference between an exbibit (Eib) and an exabit (Eb)?
An exbibit (Eib) represents 260 bits (binary prefix), while an exabit (Eb) represents 1018 bits (decimal prefix). An exbibit is larger than an exabit, with 1 Eib ≈ 1.15 Eb.
What is the difference between an exbibit (Eib) and an exbibyte (EiB)?
An exbibit (Eib) measures information in bits, whereas an exbibyte (EiB) measures information in bytes. Assuming the standard 1 byte = 8 bits, 1 exbibyte (EiB) is equal to 8 exbibits (Eib). Both use the binary prefix 'exbi-' (260).
About Exabit (Eb)
How many bits are in an exabit?
There are 1018 (one quintillion, or 1 followed by 18 zeros) bits in 1 exabit (Eb).
How many petabits (Pb) are in an exabit (Eb)?
There are 1,000 petabits (Pb) in 1 exabit (Eb), since 'peta-' represents 1015 and 'exa-' represents 1018.
What is the difference between an exabit (Eb) and an exabyte (EB)?
An exabit (Eb) measures data in bits, while an exabyte (EB) measures data in bytes. Since 1 byte typically equals 8 bits, 1 exabyte (EB) is equal to 8 exabits (Eb).
What is the difference between an exabit (Eb) and an exbibit (Eib)?
An exabit (Eb) uses the decimal prefix 'exa-' (1018 bits). An exbibit (Eib) uses the binary prefix 'exbi-' (260 bits). An exbibit is significantly larger than an exabit (approximately 1.15 Eb). Exbibits are used when specifically referring to powers-of-2 multiples in computing contexts.
