Data concentrators are generally used in large communications systems to serve as line controllers and as pre- and post- processors in the exchange of information between remote terminals and the central ...
When used as remote data concentrators, minicomputers reduce communications line costs by concentrating original data streams into more efficient: streams, thus smoothing communications traffic for a more ...

The minicomputer differs from the calculator in several ways, includ- ing communication, methodology of programming, delegated oper- ation, and expandability. ...
By contrast, the programmed calculator, though it often has a long and involved calculation, cannot communicate in the same way. ...

The system consists of a Prime 400 minicomputer with a communication link to a Control Data Corporation 6600 computer and is accessed by eight remote terminals, each of which was dedicated for the use ...
The goal for the project was to assign the minicomputer specific tasks such as graphics and data input where speed and response time are primary considerations while accuracy and ‘‘compute power’’ are ...

MINI-COM provides this support in the form of data communications between minicomputers and a large central system, reducing the necessity for secondary storage and expensive and hard to maintain peripherals ...
The potential savings in data storage and program development costs have likely been outweighed by the difficulty of programming the minicomputer for data communications and by the spotty records of computing ...
