OSCAR is just a collection of software packages that are automatically
installed and configured to allow you to run parallel jobs on a cluster.
Each cluster node is just a Linux box, however, so you can run any
standard program on any individual node. If you are wanting to run a
standard program in parallel, you will need to either write a parallel
version (using MPI or PVM) or find one that is already written.

Hope this answers your question.
