Front-end processor: Works & Measurement

A front-end processor (FEP), or a communications processor, is a small-sized computer which interfaces to the host computer, a number of networks, such as SNA, or a number of peripheral devices, such as terminals, disk units, printers and tape units. Data is transferred between the host computer and the front-end processor using a high-speed parallel…
