The OSCAR project is participating again this year in GSoC and we would love
to see more great applications.   Large quantities of hardware are not
necessary to apply, there are many great Virtual Machine platforms out
there which are free and enable cluster development to be performed on
almost any platform.

What is OSCAR?

OSCAR allows users, regardless of their experience level with a *nix
environment, to install a Beowulf type high performance computing
cluster. It also contains everything needed to administer and program
this type of HPC cluster. OSCAR's flexible package management system
has a rich set of pre-packaged applications and utilities which means
you can get up and running without laboriously installing and
configuring complex cluster administration and communication packages.
It also lets administrators create customized packages for any kind of
distributed application or utility, and to distribute those packages
from an online package repository, either on or off site.

This lowers the barrier of entry into the field of high performance
computing and allows users to spend more time dealing with their
application of interest and less time administering their machines.
