Control Program Facility (CPF) is the operating system of the IBM System/38. [3] CPF represented an independendent line of development at IBM Rochester, and was unrelated to the earlier and more widely used System Support Program operating system. CPF evolved into the OS/400 operating system, which was originally known as XPF (Extended CPF). [1]
CP/M, [3] originally standing for Control Program/Monitor [4] and later Control Program for Microcomputers, [5] [6] [7] is a mass-market operating system created in 1974 for Intel 8080/85-based microcomputers by Gary Kildall of Digital Research, Inc. CP/M is a disk operating system [8] and its purpose is to organize files on a magnetic storage medium, and to load and run programs stored on a disk.
CP-67 is the control program portion of CP/CMS, a virtual machine operating system developed by IBM's Cambridge Scientific Center in Cambridge, Massachusetts. It was a reimplementation of their earlier research system CP-40 , which ran on a one-off customized S/360-40.
CP/CMS (Control Program/Cambridge Monitor System) is a discontinued time-sharing operating system of the late 1960s and early 1970s. It is known for its excellent performance and advanced features. It is known for its excellent performance and advanced features.
In 1961, the MCP was the first OS written exclusively in a high-level language (HLL). The Burroughs Large System (B5000 [2] and successors) were unique in that they were designed with the expectation that all software, including system software, would be written in an HLL rather than in assembly language, which was a unique and innovative approach in 1961.
The Control Language (CL) is a scripting language originally created by IBM for the System/38 Control Program Facility [1] and later used in OS/400 (now known as IBM i). It bears a resemblance to the IBM Job Control Language and consists of a set of command objects (*CMD) used to invoke traditional programs or get help on what those programs do.
Gary Arlen Kildall (/ ˈ k ɪ l d ˌ ɔː l /; May 19, 1942 – July 11, 1994) was an American computer scientist and microcomputer entrepreneur. During the 1970s, Kildall created the CP/M operating system among other operating systems and programming tools, [5] and subsequently founded Digital Research, Inc. to market and sell his software products.
Parts of this are used in the Burroughs approach to memory management. Knuth claims credit for “The “boundary-tag” method, introduced in Section 2.5, was designed by the author in 1962 for use in a control program for the B5000 computer.” [9]: 460
