Abstract

A version of the GPSS simulation language, compatible with GPSS V, has been implemented for the CDC 6000 series and is operational at the Naval Air Development Center. In addition, the design goals of NGPSS/6000 were thorough assembly debugging, reduced core requirements, decreased running time, unrestricted use of matrices, and language flexibility to allow flexibility for future enhancements. This implementation seeks to aid both the user unfamiliar with the language with more complete diagnostics; while enabling the experienced user to build very large-scale models and associated data banks. Provisions have been made for future language extensions toward real-time operation, on-line debugging, and a faster execution module for debugged models.

This paper describes the machine conversion of Algol for the Burroughs B5500 to Algol for the CDC 6000 series. CDC Algol is essentially Algol 60 and is a subset of Burroughs Algol which is the primary language for the B5500. Burroughs Algol implements ...
