Multics（多重信息和计算服务）是一个全面的通用编程系统，正在作为研究项目开发。最初的数字系统将在GE 645计算机上实现。总体设计目标之一是创建一个计算系统，该计算系统能够满足大型计算机实用程序的几乎所有目前和近乎未来的要求。这样的系统必须以类似于电话或电力系统的方式连续且可靠地运行7天，每天24小时，并且必须能够满足广泛的服务需求：从多个人机互动到缺席的顺序处理工作从将系统与专用语言和子系统一起使用到系统本身的编程；从集中式散装卡，胶带和打印机设施到远程终端。人们认为，这种信息处理和通信系统对于在商业，工业，政府和科学实验室中的计算机使用以及刺激应用程序的未来增长至关重要。
Multics (Multiplexed Information and Computing Service) is a comprehensive, general-purpose programming system which is being developed as a research project. The initial Multics system will be implemented on the GE 645 computer. One of the overall design goals is to create a computing system which is capable of meeting almost all of the present and near-future requirements of a large computer utility. Such systems must run continuously and reliably 7 days a week, 24 hours a day in a way similar to telephone or power systems, and must be capable of meeting wide service demands: from multiple man-machine interaction to the sequential processing of absentee-user jobs; from the use of the system with dedicated languages and subsystems to the programming of the system itself; and from centralized bulk card, tape, and printer facilities to remotely located terminals. Such information processing and communication systems are believed to be essential for the future growth of computer use in business, in industry, in government and in scientific laboratories as well as stimulating applications which would be otherwise undone.
