2130	 Automatic Segmentation of Cyclic Program Structures Based on Connectivity and Processor Timing	 Time-shared multiprogrammed and overlayed batch systems frequently require segmentation of computer programs into discrete portions. These program portions are transferred between executable and peripheral storage whenever necessary segmentation of program s in a manner that reduces the frequency of such transfers is the subject of this paper. Segmentation techniques proposed by C. V. Ramamoorthy are subject to limitations that arise when the preferred segment size is not compatible with the physical restrictions imposed by the available computing equipment. A generalization of Ramamoorthy s suggestions is made in order to allow their application when circumstances are other than ideal. automatic segmentation cyclic program structures loops paging multiprogramming loaders assemblers compilers time-sharing program connectivity
