John K. Salmon, Sean Macauley Callahan, Jon W. Flower, Adam Kolawa · 1988
The MOOSE project was begun at Caltech in Summer 1986. Its goal is to produce a powerful, flexible multi-tasking operating system suitable for research into load-balancing and decomposition of irregular and dynamic problems. Sec. 2 of this report describes the features of the MOOSE system in some detail. In Sec. 3 we discuss where we expect developments in MOOSE to take place, and in Sec. 4 we review some of the lessons learned from the MOOSE project.
