Open OnDemand: Transforming Computational Science Through Omnidisciplinary Software Cyberinfrastructure

Published: 17 July 2016 Publication History

Abstract

The Open OnDemand Project is an open-source software project, based on the Ohio Supercomputer Center's proven "OSC OnDemand" platform, that enables HPC centers to install and deploy advanced web and graphical interfaces for their users. Open OnDemand also includes features such as allowing users to build their own web apps that can then be shared with other HPC users. The Open OnDemand team is completing the first year of the project and releasing its first version in the summer of 2016. In this paper, we describe the user experience and design of Open OnDemand and discuss the next steps for the project.
