In the computer jargon certain prefixes are used denoting different mount of "bits", such as kilo, mega, giga and so on. Here is a short list of the meanings of the different prefixes:
Kilobyte = one thousand bytes
Megabyte = one million bytes
Gigabyte = one billion bytes
Terrabyte = one trillion bytes
Petabyte = one quadrillion bytes
Exabyte = one quintillion bytes
And the list goes on. So the term related to billion in computer jargon would be giga.
The prefix "Giga-" means billion. "Gigabyte" means a billion bytes, "Gigahertz" means a billion Hertz, and so on.
Note that to a computer, 1000 is not a round number, but 1024 (2^10) is. Therefore, "Giga-" usually refers to 1024*1024*1024 = 1,073,741,824.
