Open Source Cluster Application Resources (OSCAR) is a Linux-based software installation for high-performance cluster computing.

OSCAR allows users to install a Beowulf type high performance computing cluster. Beowulf Clusters are scalable performance clusters based on commodity hardware, on a private system network, with an open source software (Linux) infrastructure. The OSCAR project aims to support as many different Linux distributions as possible. Supported Linux distributions as mentioned on the OSCAR website are Debian, Fedora, OpenSUSE, Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Ubuntu.
