DATA PROCESSING
LESSONS OBJECTIVES
The single user system It is one-man show and is indicative of one of the
earlier stages of computer development. Here only one person can work at a
time. Hence, especially if the machine is meant for the use of many persons,
much computer time is wasted waiting for one person to finish and debug his
program on the machine.
Batch Processing This is an old system but even today it is used for data
processing in computing machines, in which the capacity of the CPU is
limited. In this system, the data is collected for a predetermined period of time,
after which it is accumulated in sequential manner. A batch of transactions is
entered onto a computer media by data entry devices. In batch processing
system the emphases is on maximizing the computer resource utilization.
