Open OnDemand is a web-based portal that provides access to Ionic cluster. It allows researchers and students to manage files, run jobs, and launch interactive applications without requiring prior Linux experience or additional software installations.
The only requirement is an up-to-date web browser. We recommend using Firefox or Google Chrome for the best performance.
This document describes how the Ionic cluster and its associated Server Service is administered and managed including:
Princeton University has purchased licenses for MATLAB as well as a substantial number of MATLAB Toolboxes. This software can be used on CS public use servers (cycles), including the ionic cluster, as well as individual users' machines. Installation instructions and detailed licensing information can be found on OIT's Princeton Software MATLAB page.
The department provides a Beowulf cluster, known as ionic, for users who need a high performance computing (HPC) cluster environment in order to perform their work.
The primary way of using the cluster is to submit batch jobs and a description of the resource requirements (CPU, RAM, run time) to the scheduler. When resources are available, the job will run.
