KembaraXtra-Computer Terms – bi-endian:


Bi-endian describes processors or computing systems that can operate using either big-endian or little-endian data storage formats. These formats determine the order in which bytes of multi-byte data values are stored in memory. A bi-endian processor can switch between the two formats depending on the requirements of the operating system or software environment.


This flexibility allows the same processor architecture to support multiple operating systems that may rely on different byte-order conventions. For example, certain processors can run systems that use little-endian storage formats as well as those that use big-endian formats, making them adaptable across different computing platforms.
