Benchmark Evaluation of PC Simscript.

Abstract

As senior defense managers increasingly rely on models and simulations to justify major programs, greater attention is focused on the models and how they were constructed and validated. The SIMSCRIPT language has become the language of choice for military simulations and modeling primarily due to its readability and world view use of processes and events to model the interaction of entities, attributes and sets. This thesis reviews the personal computer release of SIMSCRIPT which was made available during late 1984. Topics include results of hands-on testing, feasibility as a teaching tool at the Naval Postgraduate School, evaluating transportability of programs between different releases of SIMSCRIPT, and benchmark time trials when programs are run on different machine configurations. Keywords include: SIMSCRIPT, Simulation; Modeling; Benchmark; PC.
