“The time it takes to read a single byte at random is MUCH higher on a rambus system than on a DDR system.”

“There are 8 bits in a byte, 1024 bytes in a kilobyte, and 1024 kilobytes in a megabyte.”

“First we create a buffer that is one byte bigger than the user string and fill it with zeros.”

“I am sure there must be millions like me who are mystified by bytes, megabytes, gigabytes or whatever they are called.”

“The store is misaligned across two cache lines such that the upper eight bytes span a cache line boundary.”

“Here is a quick explanation of bytes, megabytes, and so on, and some estimates of the storage requirements of various sorts of information.”
