The problems arriving to be bandied by C-E-I-R facilities are very varied and include almost every type of work. A large part of the load on a large computer consists of short runs for testing or simple production purposes, preceded and followed by considerable amounts of input and output. Moreover, much of the work done is subject to monetary or time constraints. The effects of these latter factors are discussed in this article in relation to operating procedures and program discipline for various machinery systems, including the IBM 1401/7090, of which C-E-I-R has practical experience. Some comments are offered on the implifications of this experience on the development and use of future systems.
