Abstract

Distributed processing of text editing and syntax checking is proposed as an economical means of enhancing the performance of a time-shared computer system in an educational environment. Commercially available microcomputer systems are inserted between the host processor and its terminals without modifications to host hardware or software. The limitations characteristic of microcomputer systems are considered relative to the total system performance, and an experimental implementation for performance measurement and prediction is described.
