One thousandth of a microsecond, one billionth of a second (1x10-9 seconds) Electronic signals travel approximately one foot per nsec
One billionth of a second (0 000000001) Used primarily by physicists and electronics engineers in measurements of very small intervals, such as RAM access times, or the time it takes light to cross a room
A measurement of time equal to one billionth of a second A clock period on a CRAY T3E system running at 300 megahertz is equal to 3 3 nanoseconds
(ns)One billionth of a second Memory data access times are measured in nanoseconds For example, memory access times for typical 30- and 72-pin SIMM modules range from 60 to 100 nanoseconds
One-billionth of second The speed of computer memory and logic chips is measured in nanoseconds
(ns) - One billionth of a second Memory data access times are in nanoseconds For example, memory access times for typical 30- and 72-pin SIMM modules range from 60 to 100 nanoseconds
