Unreferenced date December 2009 The MassStorage Control Protocol MSCP was a Protocol computing protocol designed by Digital Equipment Corporation of Maynard, Massachusetts Maynard , Massachusetts for the purposes of controlling their high end massstorage options. First implemented in the VMScluster HSC50 hierarchical storage controller, the protocol quickly spread throughout the entire line of massstorage controllers built by DEC. The UDA50 was an implementation of MSCP built on a Unibus card other implementations for example, the RQDX stretched down to the Q bus and small, 5 megabyte disk drives and even diskette s. Designed to minimize the amount of Central processing unit CPU involvement, the protocol depended upon two queues. Into one queue were placed packet information technology packet s which fully described the commands to be executed by the massstorage subsystem. To initiate an I O request, the CPU had only to create a small data structure in memory, append it to a send queue, and if that was the first packet in the send queue, wake the MSCP controller. After the command was executed, an appropriate status packet would be placed into the second queue to be read by the CPU. Interrupts to the CPU a costly operation were not needed so long as further command packets remained in the command queue and the response queue was not in danger of over flowing. I O space reads and writes to the MSCP controller, a less expensive but still costly operation, were similarly minimized. Because MSCP packets were deliberately designed to resemble the packets exchanged on the VMScluster interconnects, it was a very inexpensive operation to ship storage requests around a VMScluster for remote execution this greatly facilitated the creation of large scale VMSclusters. The dependence upon in memory packets and the minimization of interrupts and I O space reads and writes greatly facilitated remote operations.
