Computer System Capacity Fundamentals (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Computer System Capacity Fundamentals Next we consider the notion of the capacity of the processor, the memory and the combination of the two. We shall define capacities in bits/second. Since we are interested in maximum possible data rates, we shall assume that either the memory or the processor bandwidth is saturated in any given computation we discuss. Thus, all our discus sion of capacity will assume that fer the type of computation under consideration no faster data rate is possible on the machine wejare considering.
