Binary prefix
In computing, a binary prefix is a set of letters that precede a unit of measure (such as a byte) to indicate multiplication by a power of two. In certain contexts in computing, such as computer memory sizes, units of information storage and communication traffic (Byte) have traditionally been reported in multiples of powers of two. The term binary prefix is intended to differentiate usage of certain symbolic abbreviations (for example, k or kilo) from the SI prefixes, which are always decimal.[1]
As the binary multipliers 1024 (210), 1048576 (220), etc., are close in value to certain SI prefixes such as kilo (1000 = 103) and mega (1000000 = 106), respectively, it has been common practice amongst computer professionals to use these prefixes for the binary multiples – for example, to use the symbol "M" ("mega") to mean 1048576 instead of 1000000. However, these prefixes have decimal meanings in other contexts, e.g., when used with SI units. Also, certain areas of computing have always used these prefixes as decimal multipliers, for example, when specifying quantities of bits transmitted on a serial transmission medium. This has led to ambiguity in intended use of these prefixes.[2]
In 1999, following recommendations by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) in 1995[3] and National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the standards organization known as the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) adopted a set of distinct prefixes (cf. IEC 60027), e.g., kibi (symbol Ki, from "kilobinary")[2] and mebi (symbol Mi, from "megabinary"), to indicate binary multipliers. The system used the multiplier 1024 (210), rather than 1000 (103) as in the SI system, to arrive at successively larger prefixes. Under this recommendation, the SI prefixes should only be used in the decimal sense: kilobyte and megabyte denote one thousand bytes and one million bytes respectively, while kibibyte and mebibyte denote 1024 bytes and 1048576 bytes respectively. This recommendation has since been adopted by some other leading national and international standards bodies, that now prescribe that the prefixes k, M and G should always refer to powers of ten, even in the context of information technology.[2][4][5][6] Notwithstanding the availability of the new binary prefixes and their unambiguous meaning, they have seen limited adoption in practice; the use of K (or k), M and G as binary multipliers when denoting the capacity of solid‑state memory like random access memory (RAM) remains a ubiquitous industry practice.[7]
