Open OnDemand is an NSF-funded open-source HPC platform currently in use at over 200 HPC centers around the world. It is an intuitive, innovative, and interactive interface to remote computing resources. 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 BoF is meant to be an open discussion to guide the future roadmap for Open OnDemand in the near term, by getting feedback from the community on the prioritization of the various tasks planned for the next few years.
As there are many people that attended previous iterations of this BOF at PEARC'18, PEARC'19 and PEARC’20 and spoke highly of them, the session leaders intend to replicate the same BOF format (with appropriate updates regarding what has been done in the past year and the roadmap for the current NSF award) and anticipate comparable numbers of attendees to the previous BOFs. A report summarizing the status of current installations and additional feature requests will be generated and distributed to anyone that has expressed interest in Open OnDemand.
