Extending Functionalities on a Web-based Portal for Research Computing

This paper introduces a research computing portal built as an extension to the OpenOnDemand (OOD) framework. Students 100% implemented the portal at Texas A&M University's (TAMU) High Performance Research Computing (HPRC) facility. It offers an intuitive way for researchers to see all their research computing information on a single web page. This information includes billing accounts, file quotas, recently completed jobs, and currently running jobs. A researcher will also be able to view detailed job information, both for running and completed jobs. The dashboard also provides a 100% visual interface for creating jobs and "offloading" user codes to the cluster and functionality to manage accounts and request quota increases and software installations,
