Did you maybe mean one of these? pascal, pascals, pentacle, percale
Definitions
Wiktionary
- adj. A metric for objects on the scale of quadrillions (1015 or 1,000,000,000,000,000) of elements. Most often used for computer systems; a petascale computer system operates at speeds measured in petaflops and has memory measured in petabytes.
