This is not the default mode of a standard OSCAR cluster. Most OSCAR
clusters are run using a queue based head node, and individual jobs are
given to a particular subset of nodes with one node acting as "boss" for
that job.
It might be (depending on speed-up on a multi processor system), that this
is what you will want to do in practice. But it is not what you are
thinking of.
There is a now somewhat old project called SSI oscar which uses the
Kherighed SSI kernel to do what you are asking about here. However, I do
not know the current status of that project, or where its documentation now
is. The old page seems to be gone.
