A macro preprocessor for the simulation language network II.5

Network II.5 [Garrison 1989] is a powerful simulation tool for the design and analysis of multiprocessor systems, but lacks features to support modelling-in-the-large. We have developed a macro preprocessor, NETPRE, to aid in the construction and maintenance of large simulation models. NETPRE suppor...

Description
Summary:Network II.5 [Garrison 1989] is a powerful simulation tool for the design and analysis of multiprocessor systems, but lacks features to support modelling-in-the-large. We have developed a macro preprocessor, NETPRE, to aid in the construction and maintenance of large simulation models. NETPRE supports symbolic constants, include files, and macros. We show how these features can reduce model development time, increase the readability of model descriptions, and facilitate experimentation.
