Applications in Open OnDemand

Open OnDemand makes it easy to access your favorite apps for data visualization, simulations, modeling, and more. Discussed in this module is where to find the available applications on MedicineBow Open OnDemand and what the purpose of each is. Some apps are covered more extensively in other tutorials and will be referenced where appropriate.



All Applications

In the drop down menu for “Apps” you can find all available tools you can use within the Open OnDemand interface, by selecting the “All Apps” option. When on this page, you will see icons and names for all available applications, the category they fall under and the subcategory such as:

  • Files

  • Jobs

  • Interactive Apps

    • Servers, GUIs, and Desktops

  • Clusters

  • SSH

The Files Category and App

The files app allows users to view, upload, download, and edit files on the MedicineBow system. When clicking this app, notice that it opens a new browser tab that allows you to close the tab when done without closing the whole application.

The Intro to Data Transfer workshop provides more details on how to use this application to move data around.

The Jobs Category

Under Jobs there are two different applications. Active Jobs and the Job Composer. The Active Jobs app shows the status of jobs and many of the details. You can see all jobs on the system or just yours.

The job composer app will be covered more extensively in a later module of this tutorial.

 


Clusters Category

This category opens up a terminal in your web browser and enables users the ability to use it just as if they had a native application on their computer.

It also has a section for system status


Interactive Apps Category

This category has three sub categories:

  • Servers - refers to JupyterLab server covered extensively in another module

  • GUIs - Graphical user interfaces are applications that would typically work on a desktop, but on MedicineBow

    • MatLab

    • Paraview

  • Desktops - a desktop environment on the cluster
