Nibble to Quadruple-word Converter

Nibble

In computing, a nibble is a string of four-bits or half an octet. It is also known as half-byte or tetrade. In a networking or telecommunication context, the nibble is often called a semi-octet, quadbit, or quartet. A nibble has sixteen possible values. A nibble can be represented by a single hexadecimal digit (0–F) and called a hex digit. A full byte (octet) is represented by two hexadecimal digits (00–FF); therefore, it is common to display a byte of information as two nibbles.

Quadruple-word

Quadruple-word is a group of four computer words. In computing, the word is the natural unit of data used by a particular processor design. A word can be considered as a fixed-size group of bits that are handled as a unit by the instruction set and the processor hardware. The number of bits in a word (also called word width, word size, or word length) is an important characteristic of specific processor design or computer architecture, which is often described as n-bit architecture where n is usually equal to 8, 16, 32 or 64.
