Joe Ryan [Michigan State University]
I spent 24 years in the Army as a pilot, doing IT tasks for the Army and experimenting with Linux and networks at home. I earned a Computer Science and IT Management degree while serving in the military, transitioning to an IT career after leaving the service. After working a couple of different networking and security positions for a few years, I started working as a Linux Systems Administrator. I spent 3 years working at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) at Michigan State University (MSU) and then transitioned to the Institute for Cyber Enabled Research (ICER) at MSU and High Performance Computing in 2020.

Administrators and Research Consultants helping researchers scale their work can use Open OnDemand applications to make HPC resources more accessible to disciplines that are not traditionally identified as HPC users. A brief discussion of how we help make high performance computing (HPC) more approachable to new users, with an emphasis on the applications presented, support process, and using Open OnDemand as a launch pad to fully integrate new users into the HPC workflow.
