Abstract

GPSS/H is a traditional simulation language that is well known for its speed and dependability. In GPSS/H, the process-interaction world view has been combined with many advanced features to make an extremely powerful and flexible tool, capable of handling large, complicated models with ease, yet still providing exceptionally high performance. The following sections provide an overview of GPSS/H and its process-interaction world view, a discussion of model-building interfaces including tradeoffs associated with graphical modeling environments, and a summary of advanced and recently-added GPSS/H features. Finally, the use of special-purpose simulators is discussed, along with features of GPSS/H which make it very well-suited for use as the engine in such simulators
