Abstract

The benefit to be derived from a large multi-purpose system, such as the B6700, is that many jobs of very diverse characteristics can (or should) be processed concurrently in a reasonable period of time. Recognizing that certain inefficiencies may result from improper or uncontrolled use, it is necessary to evaluate the computer system carefully to assure satisfactory performance.
