A timeline of "MCP"

My Early Career

I was a systems programmer in a Burroughs shop as my second job out of college. The first referent of the acronym is the operating system of the same name.

4715 Story

<<MCP>> is the operating system abstraction on a single node of a cluster, or cloud of computers with fast interconnectivity, miniminally 1 gigabit per second. The MCPs operate as the nodes of a larger OS construct, the DCP or domain control program. MCP itself has these components/layers:

  • The top level which is a lisp image running a generic blackboard model of realtime operatons control.
  • The workflow level which is implemented by the Work Flow Language, another Burroughs inspiration, reimagined as a context for literate programming and revival of the job control concept based on a generalization of the algol wiffle.
  • A modified linux kernel to support the above.
