This blog feature explores 4th year University of Michigan PhD student Peifeng Yu’s research on hyperparameter tuning, presented earlier this month at MLSys21. Learn more about Yu, the hyperparameter tuning engine, and how it can improve your deep learning model training process.
Do you have a research cluster with an inflexible interface? Does it not provide the level of access (root) you need to run repeatable experiments? Would you like a well-defined and easy way to contribute under-used resources to the community? Learn what it takes to set up a Chameleon associate site which will give you access to industry-standard APIs, best practices and automation to run a research testbed, and support from the Chameleon team for you and your users.
Explore CHI-in-a-Box with the new QuickStart notebook, which guides you through the process of setting up CHI-in-a-Box on a bare metal CentOS 8 machine. Announcing a preview of Bring Your Own Device, a feature that allows operators to enroll and manage Chameleon hardware with greater ease. Easier CLI authentication from within your bare metal instances. Add users to your project by either username or email address. And, enjoy a new release of the Jupyter interface!
Learn about using Chameleon to develop automated calibration for cyberinfrastructure research as part of WRENCH research team member's William Koch's Master's thesis. A M.S. student at the University of Hawai`i at Manoa (UHM), Koch explores cyberinfrastructure research, this research project's approach, and his research background in this blog post.
Chances are, if you're using Chameleon today, you're probably utilizing either the GUI or the CLI (or a mixture of both.) Did you know there's a Python library that makes it easy to script your Chameleon experiments? In January we announced the public release of python-chi, the official Python library for CHI (Chameleon Infrastructure), which is exactly that. Read on to learn all about python-chi and how to easily use it to experiment on Chameleon.
Winter's almost over! This month we have a lot of announcements, notably a big facelift for CHI-in-the-Box, the packaging of Chameleon, but also a new interactive handbook for Chameleon and some nice KVM capabilities.
Announcing our Chameleon Summer 2021 Internships! Applications due March 14. Learn more about the projects in this post or apply at: https://bit.ly/3svQDcW
Dr. Mariam Kiran is a research scientist in the Scientific Networking Division, as a member of the Prototypes and Testbed group at ESnet, LBNL, and is leading research efforts in AI solutions for operational network research and engineering problems. In this blog, she discusses her research project DAPHNE (Deep and Autonomous High-speed Networks), her use of Chameleon, and her research background.
Sit down with Fei Yeh, an associate researcher with the International Center for Advanced Internet Research (iCAIR) at Northwestern University, to learn how a Chameleon associate site was set up, how you can use it, and his experience.
Hey! It's your friendly neighborhood Chameleon changelog, back from a long vacation. This month we announce general availability for CHI@NU, new Cascade Lake racks at CHI@TACC, and more!
