Open OnDemand Dynamic Forms at INL HP

OnDemand forms can be dynamically changed on the client side and the server side. In this presentation we’ll show you examples of server side and client side changes that were made to increase the usability of forms for users.

In less than two weeks we will have the March call, the Amazon Web Services folks will talk about Open OnDemand on the AWS. I will update with an abstract closer to the call.

We have an open slot for the April call, so, please, if you have anything interesting let me know. A list of potential topics of interest is at Call topics - Google Docs.

Although it may not look like it outside, it’ll be the first Thursday of March this week. The next OOD Tips and Tricks call is this Thursday 3/2 at 1pm ET / 12pm CT / 11am MT / 10 am PT.

Chris Pollard from Amazon Web Services will go over OOD on AWS.

Abstract:
Do you want to innovate without on-premise HPC constraints while still providing end-users a familiar Open OnDemand interface? Join Chris Pollard, Solutions Architect manager at AWS, as he walks through a reference architecture for deploying Open OnDemand to AWS. We’ll cover the benefits of the reference architecture, AWS ParallelCluster, and how OOD and ParallelCluster can work together to give you the familiar OOD portal with the power of AWS compute.

Next month we will hear from the Open OnDemand team on exciting new features in OOD 2.1.

The April Tips and Tricks call will take place on Thursday, April 6th at 1pm ET.

Topic: Open OnDemand Version 3.0

Gerald Byrket, Ohio Supercomputer Center

After a significant amount of effort from both the core Open OnDemand developers and community members such as Harvard and CSC Finland, the Open OnDemand project team is excited to announced the release of version 3.0! We previously described this as version 2.1, but have decided it is more appropriate to number it as a major new version. The release makes available many significant new features, many of which will be described in this call.

Call document is at April 6 2023 call - Google Docs.

Recording and supporting documents will be uploaded to April 6 2023 - Google Drive

Congratulations, OOD! Been waiting for those new features :smiley:

Kenny, MSU RCI SysAdmin

I’m looking at the Changelog and I don’t see any breaking changes. This is very good if confirmed.

If you want to see the details, you can preview the 3.0 release notes here: v3.0 Release Notes — Open OnDemand 3.0.0 documentation

These will go live early next week and be accessible at openondemand.org/releasenotes

There are some breaking changes.

@alanc Thanks for the preview of the 3.0 release notes. I noticed an error in the Breaking Changes item. The path for versions 2.0 and below is missing the ondemand part at the beginning. It should be ~/ondemand/data/sys/dashboard/batch_connect/sys/<APPNAME>/context.json.

Video from today’s call is at 040623.mp4 - Google Drive.

The May call is next week, on Thursday, 5/4 at 1pm ET / 12pm CT / 11am MT / 10am PT.

Nick Choi and Damian Pietrus from MathWorks will cover best practices for running MATLAB and Simulink on HPC clusters using Open OnDemand. The following topics will be covered:

  • Running MATLAB in Open OnDemand
  • Running MATLAB in Jupyter
  • Connecting to and running multi-node jobs on HPC clusters from an Open OnDemand MATLAB instance

We did not figure out any presenter for June call that’s coming up this Thursday, June 1st, so, let’s have an Open Mic session, if anyone has anything interesting to share, feel free to prepare a few slides, or just unmute and sound off.

I will help to start the things with some customizations that we have done recently to our interactive apps, which I have presented recently at the RMACC Symposium.

That is, we will be meeting on Thursday June 1st at 1pm ET / 12 pm CT / 11 am MT / 10 am PT.

If anyone has not registered for the call the registration link is at Meeting Registration - Zoom. It is valid for all the future calls.
