One million (10^6) bytes. Unfortunately, the term is sometimes also used to mean 2^(20)=1024^2=1048576 bytes. Furthermore, a third meaning of the term refers to 1024000 bytes ...

A set-like object in which order is ignored, but multiplicity is explicitly significant. Therefore, multisets {1,2,3} and {2,1,3} are equivalent, but {1,1,2,3} and {1,2,3} ...

A problem is NP-hard if an algorithm for solving it can be translated into one for solving any NP-problem (nondeterministic polynomial time) problem. NP-hard therefore means ...

The unit of information obtained by using the natural logarithm lnx instead of the base-2 logarithm log_2x=lgx when defining entropy and related information theoretic ...

Four bits or half a byte, also sometimes spelled "nybble." Since a nibble encodes values from 0 to 2^4-1=15, it can conveniently be represented using a single hexadecimal ...

Numerical stability refers to how a malformed input affects the execution of an algorithm. In a numerically stable algorithm, errors in the input lessen in significance as ...

A set of maximum degree to which all other degrees of recursively enumerable sets can be one-one reduced. If set A is many-one complete, then it is one-one complete, and vice ...

The number of nondecreasing lists {a_1,a_2,...,a_n} consisting of n elements 1<=a_i<=k is given by the binomial coefficient N(n,k)=(n+k-1; n-1). For example, there are six ...

A pair of quantities (a, b) where ordering is significant, so (a, b) is considered distinct from (b, a) for a!=b.

2^(50)=1024^5 bytes. Although the term petabyte is sometimes used to refer to 1024^5 bytes, such usage is deprecated in favor of the standard SI naming convention of 1 ...
