They're multipliers (Sometimes referred to as a prefix because they're specified IN FRONT of the unit)....
P = Peta (10^15)
T = Terra (10^12)
G = Giga (10^9)
M = Mega (10^6)
k = kilo (10^3)
So 5.4P is 5.4x10^15... Or 54 followed by 14 zeroes...
(And it's not PetaByte, that wouldn't make sense... 5.4 PetaByte Total Cycles just isn't a real thing. It would be 5.4PetaCycles perhaps... [Not Hz BTW, A Hz is 1 cycle/second and there's nothing said about time here])
