Abstract

The specific objective of this small computer system is to interface six to eight small graphical terminals to a large batch-processing computer. The small computer provides the graphical terminals with real-time processing for generating, editing and manipulating graphical or text files. The small computer passes along to the large computer requests for large tasks. Access to the data base in the large computer is provided. Another aspect of this objective is remote concentration. The terminals are connected to the small computer directly or through several DATA-PHONE® 103 data sets. The small computer is connected to the large computer through a single DATA-PHONE® 201 data set. This configuration reduces communication costs for a group of terminals located remotely from the large computation center.
