'''PowerHouse''' is a trademarked name for a [[Bytecode|byte-compiled]] [[fourth-generation programming language]] (or 4GL) originally produced by Quasar Corporation (later renamed [[Cognos]] Incorporated) for the [[Hewlett-Packard]] ''[[HP3000]]'' mini-computer, as well as Data General and DEC VAX VMS computing products. It was initially composed of five components:
* ''QDD, or Quasar Data Dictionary'': for building a central data dictionary used by all other components
* ''QDesign'': a character-based screen generator
