HPCSIG April 2021: OpenOndemand
All about Open On Demand
Date: April 28th 2021 Time: 2.00pm to 4.00pm **Location: **Zoom
Speaker: Alan Chalker, Ohio Supercomputing Center Open OnDemand helps computational researchers and students efficiently utilize remote computing resources by making them easy to access from any device. It helps computer center staff support a wide range of clients by simplifying the user interface and experience. This presentation will provide an overview of Open OnDemand, including a live demo, as well as a discussion on the future program roadmap.
Speaker: Tom Green, University of Cardiff Tom will present some of the findings during the development stage of rolling out the Open OnDemand service a number of aspects needed overcoming such as authentication, VNC integration, remote desktop on GPU nodes along with current status of the service. Jupyter and Rstudio have successfully been showcased to the user community with lots of interest from researchers to have this in operation.
Following the two presentations, there'll be an opportunity for questions and discussion.
Bookings will close on April 27th at midnight. Expect the meeting Zoom details by email before 10.00am on the morning of April 28th.
