Never used OAR...

I've used (and installed) PBS, SGE, and SLURM [1]. Most of the clusters I've used recently have all migrated to SLURM. Even though it's pretty feature packed, I've found it "easy enough" to install for a cluster.

What is the sales pitch for OAR? Any particularly compelling features?

(I'm not an expert)

OAR, according to knowledgeable people I've worked with, is robust and extensible.
