 | | A byte is commonly used as a unit of storage measurement in computers, regardless of the type of data being stored. | | | On some computers it is possible to address bytes of arbitrary length. | | | On modern computers, an eight-bit byte or octet is by far the most common. |

| | If the second byte of an instruction is defined as part of the operation code, it cannot profitably be used as the target of the execute instruction, because any temporary modification of that byte would cause the execution of a completely different instruction. | | | A number of the few remaining one-byte operation codes would be used, along with another byte that could take values from 0 to 255, to create a large number of two-byte operation codes. | | | However, the problems that instruction prefixes present to processor design and software debugging required a different solution. |

| Â | Understanding Intel Instruction Sizes |
| | Each prefix adds one byte to the instruction. | | | Although Intel instructions vary in size from one byte up to fourteen bytes, all Intel instructions have the same six-part structure. | | | It is possible to change the value of the immediate byte by coding the instructions in machine language, creating two new, nameless instructions for quickly dividing and multiplying a byte by a constant. |

| | If there is no displacement, the data bytes would appear in bytes 3 and 4. | | | I.e., one byte is needed for an 8-bit address and two bytes are needed for a 16-bit address. | | | If there is 16-bit displacement and 16-bit data, the data bytes appear in bytes 5 and 6. |

| Â | byte |
| | According to Eric Raymond (in his wonderful New Hacker's Dictionary), the byte began to become standardized at 8 bits around 1956, and was fixed at 8 bits by the introduction of the IBM/360 computer. | | | Present-day electronic computers represent information in binary notation; the signals can have only one of two values. | | | An example of a byte, written as a binary number, would be “10101011”. |

| Â | Nedron's Faq-O-Matic: Bits v. bytes, mebi v. mega, what gives? |
| | The result is that today "everybody" does not "know" what a megabyte is. When discussing computer memory, most manufacturers use megabyte to mean 2^20 = 1 048 576 bytes, but the manufacturers of computer storage devices usually use the term to mean 1 000 000 bytes. | | | Then data storage for gigabytes, and even terabytes, became practical, and the storage devices were not constructed on binary trees, which meant that, for many practical purposes, binary arithmetic was less convenient than decimal arithmetic. | | | To alleviate this ambiguity, prefixes for binary multiples have been adopted by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) for use in information technology. |

| | In general, in the context of magnetic and optical storage systems, both the definitions 1 megabyte = 1000 * 1000 byte and 1 megabyte = 1000 * 1024 byte seem to be much more popular than 1 megabyte = 1024 * 1024 byte. | | | Note: Historically, the term 'byte' has been also used in the computer industry to refer to the information capacity required to represent one text character or to refer to the smallest fraction of a machine word which can be addressed separately [4]. | | | However, today the meaning of 1 byte = 8 bit [5] clearly dominates any other meaning, therefore standardization on the modern widely known meaning of 'byte' is adequate. |
