MCP

A timeline of "MCP" in my life course.

MCP 4 Era

I was the systems programmer at Daytona Beach Community, now Daytona State college which was then a Burroughs shop as my second job out of college.

The first referent of the acronym is the operating system of the same name, which was at release 18 in 2017.

4715 Story

In a my domain space concept, it is the designation for nodes of a Domain Control Program (DCP).

«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 the larger OS construct, the DCP. MCP itself has these components/layers:

• The top level which is a lisp image running a generic blackboard model of realtime operations control and knowledge base management.
• 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.
