Most Popular OOD Applications   Other Available OOD Applications  

Open OnDemand (OOD) is a web-based platform that provides you with remote access to supercomputers and research-enabled software packages, enabling you to perform high-power calculations, simulations, and modeling from any computer with a web browser.

If you’re new to OOD and want a quick overview of how to access these tools, please visit our Getting Started with Open OnDemand page.

If you’re looking for background and guidance on specific applications, please click on one of the links below:

Most Popular OOD Applications  

 

Discovery Desktop

The Discovery Desktop app simplifies the configuration of a VNC desktop session on a compute node.

 

RStudio

RStudio is an open source IDE for the R programming language, used for data analysis and statistical modeling.

 

Jupyter

Jupyter allows users to combine live code, equations, visualizations, and explanatory text in a single environment.

 

MATLAB

MATLAB is a platform for scientific and engineering applications, enabling users to analyze data, develop algorithms, and create models.

Other Available OOD Applications  

The following applications are also available through OOD:

  • Mathematica. Mathematica is a software platform which combines symbolic and numeric computation, visualization, and programming into a single, interactive notebook environment.

  • Stata. Stata is a statistical package for managing, analyzing, and graphing data.

  • Code Server. Code Server provides VS Code accessibility through a browser.

  • Job Composer. Use this tool to create jobs on the Discovery Cluster.

  • UGENE (BioInformatics). UGENE is an open-source bioinformatics toolkit for molecular biologists to manage, analyze, and visualize biological data.

  • QGIS (GIS Software). QGIS is an open-source Geographic Information System (GIS) software that allows users to create, edit, visualize, analyze, and publish geospatial data.

  • FreeSurfer (NeuroImaging). FreeSurfer supports analysis and visualization of structural, functional, and diffusion neuroimaging data from cross-sectional and longitudinal studies.

  • ParaView (Visualization). ParaView is a data analysis and visualization application.
