Organization: NASA Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, Calif. Lines: 11 We have kilo, mega, giga, tera, and I note some inconsistency with giga. What shall we use after Tera? Too many people talking about Teraflops machines and the Teraflops club. I'm starting to get tired of hearing pico lately as well (but this and femto are used more consistently).
