Abstract

This paper describes the design and the development of a multitasking implementation of system simulation for the purpose of emulating an asynchronous parallel processor for system simulation using a single processor. The multitasking simulation system is a FORTRAN software kernel built around an existing simulation language (GASPIV) so that it emulates an asynchronous parallel processor simulation system. The multitasking simulation system is in full operation on a Texas Instruments 990/12 minicomputer and it is being used successfully to emulate the software architecture of the parallel processor simulation system being designed and built in the Industrial Automation Laboratory at Texas A & M University.
