HPC Cluster Open OnDemand

ELSA Open OnDemand Overview

ELSA's Open OnDemand system is a browser-based interface to many common HPC workflows. It allows end-users to perform the following tasks on the HPC cluster:

• Create, delete and manipulate directories/folders
• Create, delete, move, rename as well as view and edit text files
• Upload and download files to/from a local computer
• See a list of cluster jobs in the queue (running or waiting) along with some details about each job
• A browser-based terminal on a login or development node to perform command-line tasks
• Launch interactive GUI-based and web-based applications such as a virtual desktop (VDI), various visualization applications and coding environments like Jupyter and RStudio.
• Access other web-based applications via a curated menu of URLs.

The Open OnDemand project website contains additional information about the current and future direction of the project.
