Abstract

As the uses of computers increase, every facility eventually becomes faced with the need to increase capacity. The solutions normally used are to replace the equipment with newer and faster models or obtain additional independent systems. The latter solution, although possibly satisfactory for batch processing, is inefficient for time-sharing and other forms of “computer utility”. Technological forecast is beyond the scope of this paper, but present trends indicate that future general-purpose computer will be smaller and less costly, but not significantly faster.
