ABSTRACT

In May, 1965, System Development Corporation (SDC) proposed to do some research to study program organization with respect to dynamic program behavior. Further, the proposal suggested that simulation techniques might be used to study the problem of resource allocation in a multiprocessor time-sharing system. Some of the reasons for the proposal related to the prospective utilization of the time-sharing hardware features of the GE and IBM time-sharing computers. At the time, there was considerable interest in investigating the concepts of program segmentation and page turning, both at SDC and in the time-sharing community at large. The concept of fixed-size paging on demand particularly, raised some questions of practicality. One of the early papers on the subject by Dennis and Glaser1 states that the concept of page-turning can be either useful or disastrous, depending on the class of information to which it is applied. However, the theory appeared to be both advantageous and elegant, so that the future of time-sharing seemed to be committed to the concept.
