Abstract

Time-sharing has resulted in the development of methods to increase the utilization of computers. In this paper, one such method employing the concept of the virtual machine is discussed. Described are the design objectives of CP-67/CMS, a multi-access system that manages the resources of a computer set up for time-sharing such that each user appears to have a complete, dedicated computer at his disposal. Also discussed are the system operation and some of its applications.
