Abstract

This paper presents the internal procedures used by the micro-GPSS system. They are quite different from those used by standard GPSS, like GPSS/H. Instead of the Future and Current Events Chain, five different lists are used. The advantages of this approach is that queue statistics, both in front of servers and due to WAIT conditions, can be obtained in a far simpler manner, that programs with long waiting lines are executed more efficiently and that, in the case of equal priority, the transaction having waited the longest time in front of a server will always be the first to be served.
