 Bit (disambiguation) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bit is an information unit used in computing and information theory.
BIT programming language is also the name of an esoteric programming language.
BIT is also referred as the acronym for Beijing Institute of Technology

 Bit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The combination of the symbols "bit" for bit and "B" for byte is also widely used in computing, and is perhaps least ambiguous.
A bit refers to a digit in the binary numeral system (base 2).
Binary digits are almost always used as the basic unit of information storage and communication in digital computing and digital information theory.

 Graphics Definitions
Bit depth might refer to the bit depth of an image, or the bit depth of a monitor.
Bit depth is the number of bits used to store information about each pixel.
Well, as you might have noticed, the higher the bit depth, the more bits per pixel used in an image, and the more pixels used in an image, the larger the actual file is going to be.

 Define bit - a definition from Whatis.com - see also: binary digit
A bit (short for binary digit) is the smallest unit of data in a computer.
Although computers usually provide instructions that can test and manipulate bits, they generally are designed to store data and execute instructions in bit multiples called bytes.
A bit has a single binary value, either 0 or 1.

 Bit Twiddling Hacks
The counts of bits set in the bytes is done in parallel, and the sum total of the bits set in the bytes is computed by multiplying by 0x1010101 and shifting right 24 bits.
In 11 operations, this version interleaves bits of two bytes (rather than shorts, as in the other versions), but many of the operations are 64-bit multiplies so it isn't appropriate for all machines.
Next the high bits of the original word are ORed with these values; thus, the high bit of a byte is set iff any bit in the byte was set.

 What is bit? - A Word Definition From the Webopedia Computer Dictionary
For example, classifying a computer as a 32-bit machine might mean that its data registers are 32 bits wide or that it uses 32 bits to identify each address in memory.
For example, a byte is composed of 8 consecutive bits.
This is Chapter 1 of Randall Hyde's book, "Art of Assembly Language." It describes the binary and hexadecimal numbering systems, binary data organization (bits, nibbles, bytes, words, and double words), signed and unsigned numbering systems, arithmetic, logical, shift, and rotate operations on binary values, bit fields and packed data, and the ASCII character set.

 DM's Esoteric Programming Languages - BIT
BIT is a programming language in which the programmer has full access to all data in its essential machine representation.
Bit values may only be assigned to bit variables, and address-of-a-bit values may only be assigned to address-of-a-bit variables; anything else is an error.
It reads any number of bits from the input until a zero is read, then prints out the sequence of bits read in.

 Bit Maps
Output of each bit map begins on a new line and will be in the same format as the input.
Output will consist of a series of bitmaps, one for each bit map of the input.
In the area of graphics, for example, a bitmap can represent an image by having a 1 represent a black pixel and a 0 represent a white pixel.

 PIC Microcontoller Bit Math Method Parity
Parity is a one-bit checksum for a string of bits.
Using for example 7 data bits even parity, the parity bit (8'th bit) should always make sure that totally the byte will have an even number of bits.
In other words, this reduces the problem to finding the parity of one of the nibbles.

 bit from FOLDOC
The term "bit" first appeared in print in the computer-science sense in 1949, and seems to have been coined by early computer scientist John Tukey.
See also flag, trit, mode bit, byte, word.
The unit of information; the amount of information obtained by asking a yes-or-no question; a computational quantity that can take on one of two values, such as true and false or 0 and 1; the smallest unit of storage - sufficient to hold one bit.

 Porting Linux applications to 64-bit systems
If you want to turn all the bits on, a portable way to do this is to define a signed long constant with a value of -1.
Another problem that might arise is the setting of the most significant bit.
Hexadecimal constants are commonly used as masks or specific bit values.

Both RAM and hard disk capacities are measured in bytes, as are file sizes when you examine them in a file viewer.
In this article, we will discuss bits and bytes so that you have a complete understanding.
You might hear an advertisement that says, "This computer has a 32-bit Pentium processor with 64 megabytes of RAM and 2.1 gigabytes of hard disk space." And many HowStuffWorks articles talk about bytes (for example, How CDs Work).

By contrast, the migration upward from 32-bit to 64-bit Intel Xeon processors is relatively straightforward, as we'll see below.

 Adaptec Article: PCI, 64-Bit and 66-MHz Benefits
Since the OS plays a huge role in system performance by addressing and transferring data to and from memory, when the OS supports only 32-bits when the hardware supports 64 bits, the system is still somewhat limited.
To create a 64-bit driver, you must modify the DMA descriptors to address 64 bits of memory so the hardware can access the pointers to the data in this memory range.
The Bus Command and Byte Enable Commands are multiplexed over C/BE[7::4]# pins; Bus Commands are transferred during the address phase and Byte Enable Commands during the data phase.

Two distinctions create four alternatives and not knowing which is desirable measures two bits of uncertainty.
Thus the answer to a yes-or-no question conveys one bit of information.

 PCWorld.com - 64-Bit Universe Expands
Because these Intel and AMD 64-bit chips will run the same OS and apps, development of software to take advantage of such chips--especially their ability to address larger amounts of system memory--should be faster, says Peter Glaskowsky, editor in chief of Microprocessor Report.
By moving to include 64-bit support in more mainstream x86 CPUs, Intel has abruptly altered its often-repeated position that only large servers--such as those using its pricey Itanium chip--currently require 64-bit capabilities.
"This eliminates the last bit of confusion for the application developers," he adds.

 Prepare for a 64-Bit Future
Like Enderle, Gordon Haff, an analyst with Illuminata Inc., said a key benefit of 64-bit computing is the capability for greater virtualization, which will enable users to run multiple operating systems simultaneously on the same computers.
However, those systems will not see vast improvements over the next few years, and will reach the end of their usefulness faster than their 64-bit counterparts.
"Machines that are 32 bit will not last much more than three years," Enderle said.

 Understanding 64-bit PowerPC architecture
Capable of addressing an astronomical 18 billion GB, or 18 exabytes, of memory, 64-bit integers also accelerate complex mathematical calculations through their ability to perform calculations directly on 64-bit numbers, as well as performing multiple operations on smaller numbers within a single CPU cycle (see Resources for the definition of exabyte).
To preserve the "power of two" relationships that people have come to expect, with 8, 16, and 32-bit words in existing architectures, developers are getting 32 more bits, resulting in an address space that is 4 billion times larger than the maximum address space of a 32-bit system.
