Abstract

This paper describes a modular simulation of TSS/360, a virtual memory time-sharing computer system. A detailed model of the table driven scheduler is embedded in an environment consisting of higher level models of other subsystems. The original goal of the project was to provide a useful tool to aid in the tuning of the monitor's scheduling algorithm. As the simulation evolved, the model served as a vehicle to study proposed hardware changes.
