HPC2N has possibilities for using the resource with Open OnDemand (OOD). This is a web software that provides tools for file management and resource usage. We refer to their documentation.
Here we list the tabs that might be useful for your workflows.
Files
In OOD the tab Files provides a file explorer which easily lists your home directory and your project storages. Here you can upload files and manage them easily from the web.
Jobs
Unfortunately the tab “Job composer” is currently not fully functional. However, “Active jobs” lists all jobs currently active that is submitted under projects your account is associated with.
Here is an example of the “Active Jobs” page where a job called merge_raster is queued, waiting to run. You can also see the user who submitted it, and which project it’s associated with.
Interactive apps
This is the most powerful feature of OOD. Here you can start interactive sessions of certain tools
Kebnekaise desktop- A fully-fledged desktop directly on HPC2N. This desktop works as a computer that has direct connections to the resources at CFL. You can either start a low-resource session with just a single core for a short time, and submit batch jobs from there, or you can have a session with a lot of resources and run your code there directly. Remember to shut down the session once done, since your resources will be used as long as the session is running!Jupyter Notebook,MATLAB proxy,RStudio Server- all interactive sessions of respective development environments for Python, MATLAB and R. These function very similar to the desktop, but where it’s only that language that you’re using. This is very useful if you want to, e.g., test Python code interactively on the cluster before submitting jobs.VSCode- an interactive session of the development environment VSCode.
