The MCP (Master Control Program) is the proprietary operating system of the Burroughs large systems including the Unisys Clearpath/MCP systems. Originally written in 1961 in ESPOL (Executive Systems Programming Language), which itself was an extension of Burroughs Extended ALGOL, in the 1970s it was converted to NEWP, a better structured, more robust, and more secure form of ESPOL.

dbpprop:abstract
  • The MCP (Master Control Program) is the proprietary operating system of the Burroughs large systems including the Unisys Clearpath/MCP systems. Originally written in 1961 in ESPOL (Executive Systems Programming Language), which itself was an extension of Burroughs Extended ALGOL, in the 1970s it was converted to NEWP, a better structured, more robust, and more secure form of ESPOL. The MCP was the first operating system to manage multiple processors and the first commercial implementation of virtual memory, among numerous other advances.
  • MCP, iniciais de Master Control Program, ou "programa mestre de Controle", era Sistema Operacional (no Brasil) ou Sistema Operativo (em Portugal) dos mainframes da empresa Burroughs Corporation, que depois passou a se chamar Unisys. Era o programa responsável pelo controle operacional de equipamentos de grande porte das Series B6000 da Burroughs e depois dos maiores computadores da Série A, seguidos do NX da Unisys.
