Intrinsic multiprocessing
Richard A. Aschenbrenner, Michael J. Flynn, George A. Robinson · 1967
Multiple access systems for processing data from online experiments or remote consoles are normally treated by time-slicing multiprogramming techniques. A substantial share of CPU time is consumed with program swapping, terminal polling and buffering, I/O control, etc. This increases the overhead time loss and/or decreases the number of terminals a system can accommodate.
