Thus far S3 has been applied to computer system simulation problems while executing on the Univac 1108 and the IBM system 360, models 50, 65, and 75. The purpose of S3 is threefold; in the first place it provides a convenient computer oriented language for the specification of the total hardware/software environment of a computer system. Secondly, it generates an executable digital event simulation model of the specified system, and thirdly, operates the generated model for some specified length of simulated time, producing performance statistics for all hardware and software aspects of the simulated system.
