ScienceIT provides Open OnDemand (OOD), a browser-based portal for accessing Lawrencium and its high-performance computing resources.
Open OnDemand makes many common HPC workflows available through a web interface, reducing the need for specialized client software or command-line tools. Users can manage files, access a shell, monitor jobs, and launch interactive applications directly from a modern web browser.
Features
- File management – Upload, download, move, rename and delete files and folders through the web browser. For large data transfers, use Globus.
- File editor – Edit and save files without the need to launch a shell session.
- Shell access – Open a command-line shell on Lawrencium directly from the portal.
- Job monitoring and management – View the status of active Slurm jobs and manage jobs running on the cluster.
- Interactive applications – Request compute resources and launch applications such as Jupyter, RStudio, MATLAB, VS Code, Ray Cluster, and a full XFCE Linux desktop.
- Browser-based graphical computing – Run a full low latency XFCE linux desktop on the compute nodes for GUI heavy jobs. No need to install a local X server in order to run graphical jobs as all rendering is performed on the compute nodes.
