We provide a number of web portals to help our user community easily access and manage computing resources. This guide lists portals of general interest to most OSC clients as well as domain-specific portals. OSC staff also can offer suggestions for more specialized research portals. 

General Interest for Most Clients 

OSC OnDemand

OSC OnDemand is our "one stop shop" for access to our High Performance Computing resources. With OnDemand, you can upload and download files, create, edit, submit, and monitor jobs, run GUI applications, and connect via SSH, all via a web broswer, with no client software to install and configure.

The client portal provides access to OSC's accounting and account management infrastructure. Change your password, update contact information, submit budget requests, manage access to research projects, run custom reports, and report funding and publications relevant to your use of OSC services.
