Presenter: James Willis, SciNet
In this talk, we will introduce Open OnDemand, a web-based interface designed to provide easy access to High-Performance Computing (HPC) resources. Terminal-based interfaces can be daunting for new users with little to no experience, creating a steep learning curve. Open OnDemand aims to make HPC more accessible by offering an intuitive graphical interface that simplifies the process of submitting, monitoring, and managing jobs. We will explore the key features of Open OnDemand, including web-based access, job management, file management and support for interactive applications like Jupyter Notebooks, RStudio, and VS Code. Additionally, we will demonstrate the SciNet Open OnDemand portal and discuss its deployment and use cases.
