FWIW, this type of code lives in Ant as long org.apache.tools.ant.util.StringUtils#parseHumanSizes(String). IMO it would be fine to copy/adapt this method into lang3 in perhaps StringUtils or NumberUtils. No harm in creating MemUtils as James suggested, but unless we can think of other things to go there I don't know if it can be justified.
