DID YOU KNOW THIS - Computer Storage From Bit To CoperByte

 Recently came across this....  Nice to know about it...

Please correct me if anything wrong on this...

Computer Storage From Bit To CoperByte

1 Bit                            = Binary Digit
8 Bits                         = 1 Byte
1024 Bytes              = 1 Kilobyte
1024 Kilobytes       = 1 Megabyte
1024 Megabytes    = 1 Gigabyte
1024 Gigabytes      = 1 Terabyte
1024 Terabytes      = 1 Petabyte
1024 Petabytes      = 1 Exabyte
1024 Exabytes       = 1 Zettabyte
1024 Zettabytes    = 1 Yottabyte
1024Yottabytes     = 1 Brontobyte
1024 Brontobytes = 1 Geopbyte
1024 Geopbyte      =1 Saganbyte
1024 Saganbyte     =1 Pijabyte

Alphabyte               = 1024 Pijabyte
Kryatbyte                = 1024 Alphabyte
Amosbyte               = 1024 Kryatbyte
Pectrolbyte            = 1024 Amosbyte
Bolgerbyte             = 1024 Pectrolbyte
Sambobyte             = 1024 Bolgerbyte
Quesabyte              = 1024 Sambobyte
Kinsabyte               = 1024 Quesabyte
Rutherbyte            = 1024 Kinsabyte
Dubnibyte             = 1024 Rutherbyte
Seaborgbyte          = 1024 Dubnibyte
Bohrbyte                = 1024 Seaborgbyte
Hassiubyte            = 1024 Bohrbyte
Meitnerbyte          = 1024 Hassiubyte
Darmstadbyte       = 1024 Meitnerbyte
Roentbyte              = 1024 Darmstadbyte
Coperbyte              = 1024 Roentbyte

TOP 500 fastest Supercomputer in the world - Small Info

Supercomputer - The High Performance Computing

         Think HPC(High performance computing) and the first thought that comes to mind is that of towers of computers sitting in a data-center running for 24x7. Known for processing millions of computer instructions in a second, these systems are  favorite among weather departments, physics and biological research laboratories, space research centers.

       How this supercomputers are categorized as top 500 fastest supercomputers in the world. The complete listing is organized under the head of International Supercomputing Conference and released every 6months. All the supercomputers are benchmark against a algorithm called linkpack performance.
