Welcome to OAR’s documentation!¶
OAR is a versatile resource and task manager (also called a batch scheduler) for HPC clusters, and other computing infrastructures (like distributed computing experimental testbeds where versatility is a key).
OAR is suitable for production use.
OAR is also a support for scientific researches in the field of distributed computing.
See the OAR web site (http://oar.imag.fr/) for further information.
This documentation is organized into a few different sections below:
