Abstract

This article presents results of a continuation of our previous study of computing efficiency in DSN-related tasks. The two task models considered here are manipulation of man-readable character-string data, and a very simple process variable monitoring operation. Several currently available minicomputers and microprocessors are compared. The principal result is that the microprocessors appear considerably more cost-effective than the more powerful machines for the simple repetitive tasks, but that the opposite is true for more complex operations.
