The most common units are the bit, the capacity of a system which can exist in only two states, and the byte (or octet), which is equivalent to eight bits. Multiples of these units can be formed from these with the SI prefixes (power-of-ten prefixes) or the newer IEC binary prefixes (binary power prefixes).

It is a core function and fundamental component of computers.â16 The central processing unit of a computer is what manipulates data by performing computations. In practice, almost all computers use a storage hierarchy,â473 which puts fast but expensive and small storage options close to the CPU and slower but larger and cheaper ...
