Supercomputing. Seamlessly. Open, Interactive HPC Via the Web
Don't hesistate to reach out to the developers via our Discourse instance if you would like more information or need help installing or configuring Open OnDemand.
This material is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation under grant numbers 1534949 and 1835725.
Overview
Open OnDemand is an NSF-funded open-source HPC portal based on OSC’s original OnDemand portal. The goal of Open OnDemand is to provide an easy way for system administrators to provide web access to their HPC resources, including, but not limited to:
- Plugin-free web experience
- Easy file management
- Command-line shell access
- Job management and monitoring across different batch servers and resource managers
- Graphical desktop environments and desktop applications
See the documentation for installation directions, app development tutorials, and an overview of the components and applications that make up OnDemand.
