Operating System Considerations for Statistical Computing

Michael D. Godfrey

Journal of the Royal Statistical Society Series C, 1971, vol. 20, issue 1, 45-56

Abstract: This paper presents a survey of the main components of computer operating systems, indicates some of the requirements of statistical computing and discusses how some needs of statistical computing might be better met. A main conclusion of the paper is that, since the processing of user programs through the computing system is itself a statistical computing task, if the operating system can effectively perform this function while using only facilities which are also available to the user then the operating system may be useful for other statistical processing tasks.
