Chameleon Is Coming to FAST 2024

Chameleon plans to co-host two BoF sessions to showcase FAST'24 artifacts created on Chameleon

The REPETO project (an initiative funded by the NSF FAIROS RCN to build a network for practical reproducibility in experimental computer science) invites FAST’24 attendees to join our BoF sessions planned for February 27th and February 28th to learn about packaging storage research experiments on Chameleon. Pre-register with us for the BoF sessions by February 20, 2024 (link to interest form is in the blog!).

Announcing the 2024 Chameleon User Survey - Send Us Your Feedback by Feb. 6th!

Planning the next iteration of hardware and services on Chameleon Cloud

We invite all users to submit feedback through the survey. The responses we receive will directly impact future development of Chameleon, including where to focus hardware procurement efforts and extension of testbed capabilities. The survey is a great opportunity to help guide the future of Chameleon! We will accept responses until Feb. 6, 2024.

Happy Holidays to the Chameleon Community!

Updates on Chameleon during the winter break

In this end-of-year blog, the Chameleon Team expresses gratitude for the community's support and achievements in 2023. Highlighting the innovative work showcased in user experiment blogs, the team invites more exploration. The blog also announces the holiday schedule for the Chameleon Help Desk and the exciting return of the "Chameleon for Christmas" double lease offer, allowing extended access to resources, including GPU nodes. The post concludes with warm holiday wishes and anticipation for continued collaboration in 2024.

Early holiday gift comes to Chameleon Cloud

Great news for the Chameleon Cloud Community! The IndySCC site, previously exclusive to IndySCC teams, is now accessible to all users until January 5th, thanks to the University of Colorado Boulder's support. With 164 nodes featuring powerful hardware, including 2x 12 core Haswell CPUs and 100G Intel Omni-Path, it's a fantastic chance to expand your research capabilities. Remember, new reservations won't be accepted after January 5th, so make the most of this opportunity while it lasts.

Join Us in Advancing Scientific Research through Reproducibility on Chameleon Cloud

Chameleon Cloud's initiative for advancing scientific research through reproducibility invites the community to contribute to a growing repository of reproducible experiments. With state-of-the-art resources, Chameleon Cloud's Trovi service enables researchers to create and share their experiments as reusable artifacts. The upcoming Reproducibility Hackathon, a virtual event on December 15, 2023, offers an opportunity to transform experiments into valuable community resources. Users are encouraged to submit their Chameleon-based experiments for reproducibility packaging to enrich the platform, fostering a collaborative and innovative research environment.

Chameleon at SC '23

We would like to congratulate Alicia Esquivel Morel and the team for the acceptance of their paper, AutoLearn: Learning in the Edge to Cloud Continuum, to the SC '23 conference as well as two summer REU students who had posters accepted to SC.

Running experiments inside a Jupyter Notebook

Chameleon’s JupyterHub is a great way to organize your experiments for practical reproducibility. To overcome its resource limitations, we describe how to extend the Jupyter Server Trovi artifact so that you can run your full experiment inside a Jupyter notebook.
