Overview

Open OnDemand is an open-source web-based interface designed to provide seamless access to High-Performance Computing (HPC) resources. Developed by the Ohio Supercomputer Center, it enables researchers, students, and engineers to efficiently interact with HPC systems through a user-friendly web portal.

Key Features

  • Web-Based Access: No need for SSH or command-line expertise; access HPC resources through a standard web browser.
  • File Management: Upload, download, edit, and organize files directly in the portal.
  • Shell Access: Integrated terminal provides secure command-line interaction with remote systems.
  • Job Management: Submit, monitor, and manage jobs using SLURM, PBS, or other schedulers.
  • Interactive Apps: Launch Jupyter Notebooks, RStudio, MATLAB, and other graphical applications.
  • Customizable: Easily extendable to suit institutional workflows and integrate with existing authentication systems.

Benefits

  • Improves Accessibility: Lowers the barrier for new HPC users.
  • Enhances Productivity: Reduces time spent on configuration and command-line operations.
  • Supports Collaboration: Facilitates data sharing and collaborative analysis through a common interface.
