Putting latches side-by-side works ok for a small-ish number of bits.

对于少量的位，并排放置锁存器是可行的。

If it only has a finite number of bits, 32, via which to represent a float.

如果它只有有限个位， 32表示浮点数。

In general, an overflow occurs when the result of an addition is too large to be represented by the number of bits you are using.

通常，当加法的结果太大而无法用您使用的位数表示时，就会发生溢出。

And just as you'd expect, they found the number of bit flips directly correlated with the number of alpha particles the chip had been exposed to.

正如您所预料的， 他们发现位翻转次数与芯片暴露的阿尔法粒子数量直接相关。

A group of latches operating like this is called a register, which holds a single number, and the number of bits in a register is called its width.

一组像这样操作的锁存器称为寄存器，它保存一个数字，寄存器中的位数称为它的宽度。

But the reason why the investment case is so exciting is that when you have bits and you increase the number of bits, the performance of a classical computer scales linearly with the number of bits.

但投资案例如此令人兴奋的原因是， 当你拥有比特并且增加比特数时，经典计算机的性能会随着比特数线性扩展。
