Please, note that January call falls to January 2nd, when many of us will be out of office. We will skip this call and re-connect in February 2025.

The March Tips and Tricks call is next Thursday, and we’d like to use that time frame as an opportunity for the GOOD conference presenters to rehearse or quickly advertise their talks, or present them to those of us who won’t attend. If you are interested please respond to this thread, or just show up at the call, Thu 3/6 at 1pm ET, etc.
Thanks.

Thanks for the reminder Martin!

I won’t be able to attend in person and I am looking forward to the talk by @mjbludwig on hosting OnDemand on a HPC-friendly container. My goal is to learn how to run multiple versions of OnDemand (perhaps just two is sufficient: old and new) on my head node.

Hi Davide,

I am not sure if I will have enough of the presentation together to give enough of a dry run for next Thursday but I imagine I will be able to send materials along either during or after GOOD.

Nick Choi and I are also giving a talk at GOOD, and, like Morgan, we would be happy to share it after GOOD for those who couldn’t attend or for follow-up discussion. Maybe a Tips and Tricks follow-up call after GOOD?

Martin, I will share a few slides about the tutorial I’m doing for the conference. It’s about the two ways to integrate OnDemand and XDMoD.

Hi all! I’m interested in presenting our site’s Ollama + Jupyter application. It starts an Ollama server as a backend service, presents a Jupyter notebook as the frontend service, and it sets up the environment to easily use common Python APIs with the Ollama server. I also hope it will helpful for anyone writing an app with separate backend and Jupyter frontend services.

Do you have any upcoming slots open?

Hi Ron, you’re coming at a good time since I am still looking for speakers for next Thursday, 3/4. Would you be able to present then? Thanks.

130

Sure, I can do Thur 3/4 at 1pm ET, thanks

131

Great, let’s plan on that. If you don’t take the whole hour I would initialize a community discussion on how sites support LLMs with OOD.

132

That’s a great topic. Has the meeting been scheduled yet? I’ve got the slot blocked to join the call.

133

The next Tips and Tricks call is on Thursday, April 3rd at 1pm ET / 12pm CT / 11am MT / 10am PT.

First the OOD team will recap the GOOD conference, and then Ron Rahaman from Georgia Tech will go over how they set up Ollama backend using its Python API with Jupyter frontend as OnDemand interactive app. This set up could be replicated with any other program with Python API that one wants to expose through Jupyter.

Hi, how do people join the call? I don’t see a link…

ETA - is the link in the top post still valid?

136

Yes it is, or at least it’s the one I keep using and it works for me.

Would the call be recorded? I would have loved to join but have a conflict.

Hi Arsalan!

The call will be recorded by our host, Martin Cuma at U of Utah. He usually posts the recording on discourse a few days after the call.

Hope to see you at a future call!

Best,
