Program design to achieve maximum utilization in a real-time computing system

Published:03 March 1959Publication History

ABSTRACT

In the design of a real-time computing system, a major problem is the selection of machine capacity and speed adequate to handle the maximum data-processing rates and yet not burden the system at other times with unused machine capability. All considerations---cost, efficiency, size, good design practice---require maximum utilization of the computer's complete capability. The design of the computer program to achieve maximum utilization is especially difficult in real-time systems which must be capable of handling a wide variation in data rate.
