ABSTRACT
Approach to modeling in GPSS. Fundamental GPSS blocks, including GENERATE, TERMINATE, SIEZE and RELEASE, ADVANCE, and QUEUE and DEPART. A GPSS “case study” model for a one-line, one- server queuing system. Internal logic of the GPSS processor, including the current and future events chains, and a numeric example explaining how the processor simulates with the one-line, one-server model.

Introduction to GPSS
WSC '86: Proceedings of the 18th conference on Winter simulationThis write-up provides summary information about the simulation modeling language GPSS. The class of problems to which GPSS applies especially well is described; commentary on the semantics and syntax of the language is offered, and an example is ...
GPSS: 40 years of development
WSC '01: Proceedings of the 33nd conference on Winter simulationThis year GPSS celebrates its 40th birthday. This paper reports on the development during these 40 years, starting with the first version developed by Gordon at IBM in 1961, and the following development of GPSS II, GPSS III, GPSS/360 and GPSS V, all ...
Introduction to GPSS
WSC '76: Proceedings of the 76 Bicentennial conference on Winter simulationGPSS (General Purpose Simulation System) is a simulation programming language whose use greatly eases the task of building computer models for discrete-event simulations.
GPSS is easier to learn than the statement-oriented simulation languages such as ...
