Experience with the Extendable Computer System Simulator,
Abstract
A prototype version of the Extendable Computer System Simulator (ECSS) has been implemented to aid in constructing simulation models of computer systems. A specialized language is used to describe hardware, software, and system load. A service-routine package handles many of the housekeeping details of model control. The full power of SIMSCRIPT II is also available for extending ECSS capabilities. Advantages of ECSS over other languages include its natural, English-like input format, provisions for compact description of common computing system elements and operations, flexibility, extendability, modifiability, and provisions for economical simulation reruns.
