@ Michael Edwards Thank you Michael (and thanks also to Diego).
To me is just fine do deal with a "head" node, managing a queue and transparently distributing monolithic jobs to a set of other "slave" nodes (and possibly to himself) according to some load-balancing policy. I just want to deal with only one node of the cluster, and forget about the other nodes. Can you confirm that this can be achieved easily with Oscar & Torque, despite the fact that each individual job has to be passed to a slave node "as-is", along with its own set of input files, because it cannot be decomposed into small bits ? I would use CentOS (i.e. RHEL) on each node.
