Unit prefix The prefix "bronto", as used in the term "brontobyte", has been used to represent anything from 10 to 10 bytes, most often 10. The SI includes standardised prefixes for 10 (peta), 10 (exa), 10 (zetta) and 10 (yotta). In 2010, an online petition sought to establish hella as the SI prefix for 10, a movement that began on the campus of UC Davis. The prefix, which has since appeared in the San Francisco Chronicle, Daily Telegraph, "Wired" and some other scientific magazines, was recognised by Google, in a non-serious fashion, in May 2010.

EXA solution was to move to hardware acceleration with OpenGL for both 2D and 3D graphics with 2D graphics becoming just a subset of 3D rendering. Switching entirely over is unfortunately not so simple and not without some major obstacles. EXA was adapted from KAA, the KDrive Acceleration Architecture, from the experimental Freedesktop.org Xserver. Per the initial mailing list announcement, the goals are: Many XAA drivers had EXA support added for X11R6.9/7.0 and support continues to be added to more drivers. Making this transition as easy as possible was an important design consideration. UXA is a reimplementation of the EXA API
