+ | ===== Description ===== | ||
+ | OAR is a Resource Management System (RMS) for high performance computing clusters. It is based upon an original design that emphasizes on low software complexity by using high level components. The global architecture is built upon the scripting languages Perl and Ruby, a relational database engine Mysql/ | ||
+ | |||
+ | OAR is used as the base of other sub-projects like CiGri (http:// | ||

+ | ===== Why is your group applying to participate? | ||
+ | |||
+ | OAR project is an open source Resource Management System (RMS) which aims on one hand to provide a production RMS and on the other hand a tool for research on the specific aspects around resource management and scheduling. The project becomes bigger and the extension needs are increasing. Therefore, one of the application reasons is to attract more contributors who will have the opportunity to work in a High Performance Computing (HPC) research project. Furthermore our goal is to spread the word for Open Source development and research upon the field of HPC. | ||
