kibi- (Ki-).
A binary prefix meaning pow(2, 10) = 1024. This prefix, adopted by the International
Electrotechnical Commission in 1998, was supposed to replace kilo- for binary
applications in computer science. Thus 1024 bytes of storage is officially
a kibibyte, not a kilobyte. However, computer professionals generally dislike
this unit (they say it sounds like a cat food) so the ambiguity in the size
of a kilobyte persists. The prefix is a contraction of "kilobinary." The
symbol Ki-, rather than ki-, was chosen for uniformity with the other binary
prefixes (Mi-, Gi-, etc.). SEE ALSO: Exbibyte,
Gibibyte, Mebibyte, Pebibyte, Tebibyte.
