- multics (English full name: MULTiplexed Information and Computing System) is a comprehensive, general-purpose programming system that is being developed as a research project. The original Multics system was based on the GE 645 computer. One of the overall design goals was to create a computing system that is capable of meeting almost all major requirements. These systems must run continuously and be reliable, similar to a telephone or power system. , Working 24 hours a day, and must be able to meet a wide range of service needs. The order of absent from multiple human-computer interaction users handles the use of the system with the programming language and subsystems of the dedicated system itself, and centralized batch cards,
- Multics was created in 1964
- One: For the first time in large software
- Multics, from a business perspective, is a failed operating system. In terms of ideas, this system is a bit ahead of schedule, but advancement is not the main cause of failure. The main reason is that it has the characteristics of a company that is not a great company: seeking perfection. An inappropriate analogy is to hope that the Yangtze River will have the same size as the estuary when it exits the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. In fact, the advantages of large companies' financial resources are mainly that they can have more bricklayers, not that they can recruit more geniuses, especially today when hardware is becoming less and less a constraint.
