A FACILITY FOR EXPERIMENTATION IN MAN-MACHINE INTERACTION,

Abstract

The time-sharing system involving memory relabeling, common routines, and duplex teletype operation has been in operation since April, 1965. The system is highly flexible and can provide a response time of less than one second. Memory relabeling is accomplished with no increase in access time. The number of processor modes is small (two), and mode transitions are done in such a way as to enable interrupt and user-called system routines to be independent of mode. The user machine is clean and well defined. Input/output is simpler, more foolproof, and device-independent. The user is given a variety of other services ranging from generalized file-handling capability to string processing to assemblers, compliers, debuggers, and editors. (Author)
