Computing Environments for Data Analysis II. Hardware
John Alan McDonald, Jan Ole Pedersen · SIAM Journal on Scientific and Statistical Computing · 1985
This is the second in a series of papers on aspects of modern computing environments that are relevant to statistical data analysis. We argue that a network of graphics workstations is far superior to conventional batch or time-sharing computers as an environment for interactive data analysis. The second paper in the series discusses the hardware of graphics workstations in detail.
