Open OnDemand (OOD)

Open OnDemand is a web-based service provided by GACRC which provides users an alternative and/or complimentary method to access the HPC Clusters.

  • It 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.

Throughout this documentation, the Open OnDemand application may be referenced by the acronym "OOD".

How to access OOD

Note: You must be connected to the UGA Network, either directory or by VPN, to access the OOD web page.

Browser Requirements/Notes

To have the best experience using OnDemand, use the latest versions of Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox or Microsoft Edge. Use any modern browser that supports ECMAScript 2016.

Google Chrome has the widest range of support since the Shell App uses hterm.js which is supported officially by Google. Chrome currently is the only web browser that natively supports the copy and paste functionality in noVNC. Other browsers can do copy and pasting manually through the noVNC tool drawer.

Safari users may have issues when using the Shell App or noVNC.

There is no IE 11 support.
