Simulation system language General Purpose Simulation System (GPSS) is a simulation language used for discrete-event simulations. It is especially useful in the modelling of queuing systems, with many statistics being collected automatically.[1] The typical simulation consists of Transactions being generated in the system (usually at a certain interval), performing a defined set of rules (like use a resource, wait, transfer), and being removed from the simulation.
History[edit] In 1963, GPSS II was released with 32 block types. In 1965, GPSS III was released. In 1967, GPSS/360 was released to run on the newly released System 360. In 1970, GPSS V was released with 49 block types. In the 1980s, GPSS/VAC and GPSS/PC were released. Subsequently, there were releases for IBM 360,[4] Univac 1108, and CDC.[5][6][7] Description[edit] Simulations have Transaction entry points through the GENERATE command, such as a customer walking into a store.
