Abstract
It is likely that any practical automated chromosome analysis system will be interactive. To prevent long pauses in the stream of operator interactions, it is necessary, if using standard computer hardware, to configure for asynchronous and parallel operation. A system is presented which uses several computer processors, which can support one or more operators, and which divides processing into interactive and noninteractive sections, smoothes the rate of presentation of interactions, and keeps both the operator and the computer fully employed.Keywords
