Multi-level programming for a real-time system
A. B. Shafritz, Alison Miller, Karl Rose · 1961
Recent computer literature has given considerable attention to the problem of matching high-speed data processing equipment with low-speed input-output equipment. The solution most often presented is the use of multiple input-output processing equipment, allowing for an increased computation load that keeps the central processing unit active. While input-output equipment is operating on one part of the program, the processor is not waiting, but working on some other part. If the benefits of such a configuration are to be realized most fully, an efficient multiprogram system must be designed.
