Abstract

Large multiprocessing computer systems using large capacity, high-speed direct-access storage have become very common. Likewise, high speed display terminals are becoming increasingly popular, especially in special applications such as airline reservations systems. Display terminals offer an even greater potential in making available the resources of the large computer system and its data base to the majority of computer users in their office area. A generalized display capability of this type is superior to a terminal system tied to the relatively slow typewriter terminals, cards, or to a data base which is incompatible with non-terminal facilities.
