Abstract

A GPSS/360 model was developed to support the IBM System/360 Time Sharing System (TSS/360) design and evaluation effort. The model was validated by conventional desk-checking procedures and by an extensive measurement effort involving a hardware monitor (SPAR), a software monitor (SIPE), and miscellaneous data-reduction programs. Calibration results obtained with TSS/360 are described, as are some of the benefits derived from the model.
