Integration of batch and timesharing services

G. Houston1 * and R. Gillespie2 §

1 The Boeing Company, Commercial Airplane Division, Renton, Washington, USA, 2 Computer Centre, The University of Washington, Seattle, Washington, USA

An attempt to add timesharing services to those already provided through a multiprogrammed batch operating system on the CDC 6600 computer provided lessons in both technical and strategic aspects of computing innovation. The technical problems associated with merging the conflicting functions are discussed in some detail. The problem of determining a strategy for properly introducing the new tool while not hindering the use of the existing ones is revealed through the choice of objectives for the project.

Received September 1970.
