Remote Data Processing
Remote data processing in real time places additional requirements on system design and pro-
gramming.
The remote terminal requires direct access to the EDP center and waits for an
answer.

A GE-265 Time-Sharing System is a combination of a DATANET-30 communications processor,
a GE-235 computer for high-speed scientific/data processing, and a proven software package
with an easy-to-use language. A GE-265 System provides desk-side computations on an immediate
and simultaneous basis.
Remote terminals, such as Teletypes, access the system and provide
computer access from any office where telephone service is available.
More information on the General Electric Time-Sharing System is available in various manuals
covering operation and programming.
EQUIPMENT CONFIGURATIONS
Many factors are involved in deciding upon a system equipment configuration. The scope of this
manual does not allow a full discussion of the various combinations. Therefore, equipment
available for the design of a real time, direct access communication/data processing system is
described from a functional viewpoint.
Incorporation of the individual pieces into an operating
system must necessarily be done on an indi victual basis.
