The time sharing computer system is a system in which multiple computers use the same processing resource (i.e. Central Processing Unit).
So, to process the requests/tasks of all systems simultaneously or at least producing the illusion of simultaneity by dividing the processing into time frames and distributing those time frames among different tasks.
