Überblick
Simulator of the 36-bit GE/Honeywell/Bull 600/6000-series mainframe computers
Verlauf
DPS8M is a simulator for the 36-bit GE, Honeywell, and Bull 600/6000-series mainframes, especially the DPS-8/M line descended from GE-645 hardware and associated with running Multics.
The project presents itself as the DPS8M Simulator and credits the DPS8M Development Team across 2006-2025 in its README. Its GitLab project was created in February 2019, consistent with a later public hosting home for a longer-lived simulator codebase.
DPS8M's adoption is primarily in retrocomputing, operating-system preservation, and Multics study rather than ordinary application development. Packaging in Homebrew and Nix gives users a repeatable way to install a simulator that would otherwise live mostly in source builds and specialist documentation.
Users build or install the simulator, then run dps8 and companion utilities such as tape and printer conversion tools. The official documentation is aimed at end users, operators, developers, and package maintainers, covering installation, compilation, configuration, operation, and troubleshooting.
For package nerds, DPS8M is interesting because it packages a historically specific mainframe simulator with multiple utilities, generated cross-reference documentation, and release-specific omnibus manuals, tying modern Unix package management to preserved 36-bit computing environments.
