An abbreviation for General Purpose Simulation System, an early computer language used to model complex real-world processes.
Acronym from English words created by IBM researchers in the 1960s; 'general purpose' means it works for many different simulations.
GPSS was revolutionary because it let engineers test factory designs and traffic patterns on computers before building anything real—the ancestor of all modern simulation software.
