Overview
Open OnDemand is an NSF Funded Open Source HPC Project to provide a web-based portal and interface to HPC resources. Implementing Open OnDemand on our HPC resources allows users to access our HPC clusters with a web browser, which means that access is platform independent and not specific to a client’s operating system, or installed software.
OnDemand can also serve as a good segue for new users who don’t have HPC, Linux or command-line experience to start using an HPC quickly and more easily.
OnDemand Requirements
Since Open OnDemand is open source, it is subject to some browser requirements. For best experience using OnDemand, it’s developers recommend using the latest versions of Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox or Microsoft Edge. OnDemand documentation indicates any modern browser that supports ECMAScript 2016 will work with OnDemand. For the latest requirements, please see the OpenOnDemand documentation pages and their listed requirements.
