For the next 2 months, we don’t have a topic yet for May. I am thinking covering various generative AI/LLM interfaces, to follow up on the April topic. In particular, UIs that work with OnDemand. We have had hard time finding ones that work but did find one eventually, called GPT4All. It would be good if a few more sites could volunteer with their solution.
For June, we have lined up BYU HPC presenting their Windows Open OnDemand app.
This Thursday, May 1st, we are planning a community showcase of generative AI/LLM interfaces, and, the OOD interfaces in general, that various sites have. I will kickstart the discussion by showing the current state at Utah, and hope that some call attendees will volunteer to show their OOD interfaces after that. If you’d like to pre-volunteer, please, PM me and I’ll make you a co-host right away at the start of the call.
Next Thursday is the first one in June, so time for another Tips and Tricks call, at 10am PT / 11am MT / 12pm CT / 1pm ET. Dean Anderson and Ryan Cox from Brigham Young University will present
7lbd (“Seven Layer Bean Dip”), which allows users to launch and access a Microsoft Windows desktop via Open OnDemand without requiring any additional Windows infrastructure. It treats Microsoft Windows as “just another Open OnDemand application”—similar to JupyterLab, MATLAB, or VSCode—and provides users with access to their files in a secure, isolated environment.
