| | 4 | This template contains multiplier variable definitions that allow the consistent use of units throughout a machine configuration. The base units assumed by this template are megabytes (MB) and megahertz (MHz); that is, those multipliers have a value of 1. The multipliers and their values are: |
| | 5 | * mb or MB = 1 |
| | 6 | * gb or GB = 1024 * MB; |
| | 7 | * tb or TB = 1024 * GB; |
| | 8 | * MHz = 1 |
| | 9 | * GHz = 1000 * MHz; |
| | 10 | These are available as global variables and can be used as in the following example: |
| | 11 | {{{ |
| | 12 | variable myspeed = 366 * GHz; |
| | 13 | variable mysize = 24 * GB; |
| | 14 | }}} |
| | 15 | Using these units consistently throughout is clearer and helps avoid inconsistencies in the parameters. |
