The date for the Chameleon User Meeting in Chicago has been set to May 2-3. We will be back very soon with a full announcement and call for presentations but in the meantime please block the time in your calendar because we are all looking forward to seeing you here!
Great news in Chameleon-land! We’re kicking off the new year with upgrades and fixes to JupyterHub, and usability improvements to the web dashboard Horizon – and save the date for the first post-pandemic in-person Chameleon User Meeting!
We go over the benefits of using a bastion host to administer your cluster. It's the easiest way to deploy a secure cluster of hosts for your experiments, and it also helps to save resources!
This month's user experiment blog covers some interesting work on tensor analysis from researchers at Arizona State University.
This has been a fantastic year for Chameleon and we go over all the major features the project acquired. We also have a couple of new tidbits: the long awaited CHI@Edge Xena upgrade which will be interesting to our edge users and an announcement of the Chameleon JupyterHub infrastructure upgrade coming up first thing in the New Year. Have a fantastic Holiday and Happy New Year!
This month, we talk to Rick Anderson from Rutgers University about his experience using Chameleon to experiment with autonomous vehicles!
To help make your spirits bright we will continue our “Chameleon for Christmas” tradition with end of the year 14 day leases – you get twice as much time for being twice as nice! This feature will be available for a limited time only. Also, a reminder that HelpDesk will be closed during the Holidays – please, read the post for all the details and plan accordingly. Happy Holidays!
As has become holiday tradition, we review some of our most common tickets of 2022, and provide answers and context that we hope is a helpful gift for all of our experimenters in the coming year.
We are hiring! Come and join the team to help us build and operate the kick-ass Chameleon experimental platform as well as develop new ideas in edge computing and reproducibility. You will be working on the bleeding edge, state-of-the-art technologies, evaluating and extending open source systems and tools, and developing new features -- and most importantly working with our amazing community of users who take our breath away every day with their cool resaerch ideas!
We hope everybody's had a great Thanksgiving! We've been busy bees this month supporting IndySCC and the many supercomputing projects and demos but still have a little something we can all be thankful for: we now have InfiniBand on the A100 nodes so you can build sophisticated data systems of components connected via RDMA fabric -- and we also have better filters for hardware so you can find those components more easily!
