W6D2 Running programs Early computers: programs on perforated cards users installed tapes & cards… signup sheets!
W6D2 Running programs Things got a bit better: operator installed punch cards in batches (less time organizing, more computing time) a computer program controlled the execution of user programs (jobs) users had no direct interaction
W6D2 Running programs The PDP-1 operating system's timesharing ability made interactive access to computers economically viable by allowing various users to share the computer simultaneously. Shown here is the PDP-1 installation at BBN.
