This month we have python-chi 1.0 released, and a new bare metal experiment pattern artifact to go with it!

Learn how cutting-edge research is shedding light on the energy dynamics of I/O operations in HPC environments, potentially reshaping future storage designs.

Join the Community Workshop on Practical Reproducibility in HPC, co-located with a major Computer Science conference in Atlanta on November 18, 2024. This workshop invites authors and reviewers to share insights on packaging and reproducing experiments in high-performance computing (HPC). Explore best practices, overcome reproducibility challenges, and contribute to a collective report aimed at advancing reproducibility in HPC. Travel support is available for top presentations. Submit your proposals by October 18!

Welcome back, Chameleonaires! As we transition from summer to our usual routines, check out the new and improved resources for getting started with Chameleon. Our engineers have been hard at work creating new tutorials, including interactive Trovi artifacts and live sessions. We've also updated our Getting Started guide to make it easier to use Chameleon’s powerful tools. Dive into our latest Trovi artifacts and tutorials to boost your research efficiency. Happy experimenting!

This month, we are excited to announce GigaIO nodes at TACC, the OpenStack Antelope upgrade at TACC and an upgrade guide for associate sites, and a new associate site CHI@NRP. Additionally, we finally have Raspberry Pi 5 support for CHI@Edge. There is also a brand new Trovi dashboard (under preview). And we also improved the reliability of phase 2 nodes at CHI@UC.
 

Exciting news for the HPC community! Registration is now open for the Community Workshop on Practical Reproducibility in HPC, happening November 18, 2024, in Atlanta. Don't miss early bird pricing and the chance to engage with leading experts on this crucial topic. Learn more about keynotes, discussions, and how you can be part of shaping the future of reproducibility in HPC...

Martin Putra, a 4th year PhD student at the University of Chicago, shares how he used Chameleon to build and test a scalable benchmarking tool for genomics workflows, uncovering insights that could lead to more efficient resource management for these computationally intensive tasks.

Exciting news for Chameleon users! We're introducing GigaIO's composable hardware at CHI@UC and CHI@TACC. This innovative technology allows for flexible GPU configurations, supporting up to 8 GPUs per node. Learn how this new feature can enhance your research capabilities and improve hardware utilization. Discover the specifications and unique advantages of our new composable systems in this blog post.

This month we celebrated 9 years of Chameleon, and shared the exciting news of Chameleon Phase 4! We also completed the openstack upgrade at CHI@UC, updated the Getting Started, and released a dev version of python-chi.

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. Four more years of Chameleon!
