Abstract
In a system for economically and continuously transmitting data files from one location to a remote location there is provided a high speed mainframe computer adapted to read a data file and to determine if the process to be performed on the data requires a large amount of mainframe processor cycle time. If so the data file is down loaded to a memory accessible by a much less expensive single chip type dedicated computer that is particularly well suited to perform the process that would require high mainframe processor time cost. The output of the dedicated computer in coupled to a communication network for transmittal to the remote location. In the preferred embodiment-of the present invention first-in-first-out (FIFO) data queues are employed to maintain optimum utilization of the dedicated computer and transfer of the data files.
