SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS FOR MULTIPLE ACCESS, TIME-SHARED COMPUTERS,
Abstract
Relocation examples and solutions were elaborated in considerable detail to expose the reader to the difficulties encountered with contemporary machines when multiple user multiple-processor systems are considered. The fact that each program may perform unexpectedly, even to the user, demands that running programs be able to be moved as well as to grow and to shrink. As man-machine interaction becomes faster, each program task becomes more intimately connected with secondary storage and with common subprograms; thus effective multiprogramming is essential for efficient use of a multiple access computer system.
