teleprocessing
Noun: * Data processing distributed across locations: A type of data processing where the input, output, or storage functions occur at locations separate from the central processing unit, with all components connected by telecommunications links.
"Teleprocessing" describes a system architecture where a central computer (like a mainframe) communicates with and processes data from remote terminals or other computers over a network. It is a foundational concept for modern distributed computing and client-server models.
- The bank implemented a teleprocessing network to connect all its branch terminals to the central server.
- Early airline reservation systems were pioneering examples of teleprocessing.
- The efficiency of the operation depends on the reliability of the teleprocessing links.
- The term is often associated with legacy systems, particularly those using mainframe computers and dedicated terminals. In modern contexts, terms like "distributed processing," "client-server architecture," or "online transaction processing (OLTP)" are more commonly used.
- Telecommunications (n): The transmission of information over a distance by electronic means.
- Distributed Processing (n): A model where processing tasks are divided among multiple computers on a network.
- Remote Job Entry (RJE) (n): A specific type of teleprocessing where jobs are submitted to a central computer from a remote location.
- Distributed data processing
- Remote computing
- Online processing
- Local processing
- Standalone processing
- Batch processing (when done entirely on a single, isolated system)
While "teleprocessing" is a compound word containing "processing," its meaning is specific and idiomatic, referring to the integrated system of remote communication and data handling. It is treated as a single lexical unit in this context.
-
data processing in which some of the functions are performed in different places and connected by transmission facilities
