The PROCSY system uses an IBM 7094 as a front-end computer to provide remote job entry and interactive capabilities for a multiprocessor multiprogramming operating system running on a CDC 6500. It uses a powerful macro-command system on the 7094 to create and edit files which are transmitted to the 6500 for processing. PROCSY now processes more than 4000 jobs per day ranging from short utility jobs to major production jobs. Evaluation and analysis programs on the 7094 and on the 6500 provide performance statistics that help to understand, to debug, and to improve the system.
