The inefficiency of time-shared computer systems compared to
batch processing systems is in the time lost in swapping operations.
The larger the allocated quantum size, the less swap time is incurred.
In order to guard against intolerable response time while lengthening
the quantum size, the response time of a common...
The storage tube computer graphics terminal provides
high resolution, high speed, and comparatively low cost
graphics. Oregon State University currently supports
four such terminals under the OS-3 time sharing system.
The terminals are used for a wide variety of applications
in the physical sciences and engineering.
This thesis describes TEKPLOT...
