What is a Pebibit and a Exabit?

A pebibit (Pib) is a unit of digital information equal to 250 bits, which is exactly 1,125,899,906,842,624 bits. It uses the binary prefix 'pebi-' established by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). The pebibit is closely related to the petabit (Pb), which is defined using the decimal prefix 'peta-' (1015 or 1,000,000,000,000,000 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 Pebibit 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 Pebibit and Exabit

The prefix 'pebi-' (representing 250) was defined by the IEC in 1998 along with other binary prefixes (kibi-, mebi-, gibi-, tebi-, exbi-). This standardization aimed to eliminate the confusion caused by using SI prefixes (like kilo-, mega-, giga-, tera-, peta-) to denote both powers of 1000 (decimal) and powers of 1024 (binary) in computing contexts, especially for large quantities of data. The term 'pebibit' specifically refers to the 250 multiple of bits.

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 for pebibits and exabits

Explore the typical applications for both Pebibit (imperial/US) and Exabit (imperial/US) to understand their common contexts.

Common Uses for pebibits

Pebibits are used in contexts dealing with extremely large amounts of data where binary precision is crucial:

Specifying the capacity of very large-scale storage systems or data archives at the bit level in technical documentation.
Calculations in high-performance computing (HPC), large dataset analysis, and scientific simulations involving massive bit streams.
Theoretical calculations in computer science, information theory, and advanced data transmission analysis.
Ensuring accuracy when comparing binary (Pib) and decimal (Pb) data quantities in contexts like large network traffic analysis or storage capacity planning. While petabits (Pb) are more common for network throughput (Pbps), pebibits provide precision for binary-based storage or memory calculations at this scale.

Common Uses for 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions About Pebibit (Pib)

How many bits are in a pebibit?

There are exactly 250 bits in 1 pebibit (Pib). This equals 1,125,899,906,842,624 bits.

How many tebibits (Tib) are in a pebibit (Pib)?

There are 1,024 tebibits (Tib) in 1 pebibit (Pib). This is because 1 Pib = 250 bits and 1 Tib = 240 bits, and 250 / 240 = 210 = 1,024.

What is the difference between a pebibit (Pib) and a petabit (Pb)?

A pebibit (Pib) represents 250 bits (1,125,899,906,842,624 bits), using the binary prefix 'pebi-'. A petabit (Pb) represents 1015 bits (1,000,000,000,000,000 bits), using the decimal prefix 'peta-'. A pebibit is approximately 12.6% larger than a petabit (1 Pib ≈ 1.126 Pb).

What is the difference between a pebibit (Pib) and a pebibyte (PiB)?

A pebibit (Pib) measures information in bits, while a pebibyte (PiB) measures information in bytes. Assuming the standard 1 byte = 8 bits, 1 pebibyte (PiB) is equal to 8 pebibits (Pib). Both use the binary prefix 'pebi-' (250).

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.
