We are thrilled to announce that Chameleon, our experimental testbed for computer science research, has been awarded $12 million in funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) for its fourth phase. This latest grant brings the total investment in Chameleon to over $42 million across four funding phases.

Key Highlights:

• The National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) will move from an associate site to join as an official Chameleon site and partner, opening up vast opportunities for collaborations in translational computer science.
• New infrastructure upgrades, including H100 GPUs, will enhance support for AI and Machine Learning research.
• Continued development of CHI@Edge, supporting experiments from network fingerprinting to autonomous vehicles.
• Ongoing commitment to reproducibility in computer science research.
• And more to come!

Chameleon has served over 10,000 users and contributed to more than 700 research publications since its inception. This new funding will allow us to continue innovating and supporting our growing community, enabling groundbreaking discoveries in computer science systems research.

We thank the NSF for their continued support and look forward to the exciting advancements this new phase will bring to the computer science research community.
