UPDATE (04/22): Due to limited time, we will split this tutorial into two sections. The first section (still planned for Thursday, April 25, 2024) will focus on introducing attendees to Chameleon and its primary functionality for artifact/experiment packaging and orchestration. The second section (planned for June 2024) will focus specifically on special topics for HPC experiments (Effective Data Management and Leveraging MPI and CUDA). We will send out an additional announcement when we have a date for the second section. Thank you for your understanding!
