Block to Quadruple-word Converter

Block

In data transmission and data storage, a block is a sequence of bytes or bits, having a nominal length (a block size). Putting data into blocks (blocking) blocking is used to speed up the handling of the data stream by the communication equipment. Blocked data is normally read a whole block at a time. For example a block may be equal to 4096 bits in a computer.

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.
