Each device has a certain amout of functions points (need a new name for Function- memory points?)
Zebs projits and AD computer programs have function points and you fill a device up to its function point totall. 

for example the type A projits are like 1 fp and mostly free. 
a chronocom could have 10 fp space so you could load 10 of those projits on your com

type B and C projits have more fp and cost some creds 

AD programs take more fp

devices go up form the chronocom in the fp space. 

Visocoms, tablets, lap tops, main computers/servers etc. 

this will be all about balancing the numbers so will likely require some playing wth them 

I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers!

Memory Points is a good substitute for Function Points. Easy for folks to understand the gloss.

"OPS" Operations Per Second ... it's how we manage performance in real life.

IOPS are Input/Output Per Second

FLOPS are Floating Point Operations Per Second for math

Right now for example on Earth we're in the PetaFLOPS scale computing with early ExaFLOPS... and this takes up buildings of room to perform...
