Running distributed applications across multiple nodes is a common need in scientific computing, but setting up MPI clusters can be challenging, especially in cloud environments. In this post, we'll explore a template for creating MPI clusters on Chameleon that handles the key configuration steps automatically, letting you focus on your research rather than infrastructure setup.

We’re excited to announce the full agenda for the upcoming Community Workshop on Practical Reproducibility in HPC, taking place on November 18, 2024, at Terminus 330 in Atlanta, GA. Visit the workshop website for complete details.

This month, we have updated appliances including Ubuntu 24.04! We also have Trovi dashboard updates and fixes to ARM64 nodes at CHI@TACC.

Join us for a groundbreaking workshop that's shaping the future of HPC research reproducibility - and save $80 while you're at it! Early bird registration now extended until October 25th. Register Now.

Discover how Bogdan Stoica and researchers at the University of Chicago developed Wasabi, an innovative tool that combines fault injection, static analysis, and large language models to detect and analyze retry-related bugs in complex software systems. Learn how Chameleon's bare-metal capabilities enabled precise testing environments for this fascinating research published at SOSP'24.

Discover the powerful updates in Python-chi 1.0, Chameleon's official Python library. This new release brings improved typing, new modules for hardware and storage management, interactive Jupyter widgets, clearer error messages, and easier low-level access. Learn how these enhancements can simplify your experiment workflow, from resource allocation to data analysis. Whether you're a seasoned Chameleon user or just getting started, Python-chi 1.0 offers tools to make your research more efficient and reproducible.

Join our team to work on cloud computing and empower the scientific community through cutting-edge research and technology.

We're extending our early bird registration for the Community Workshop on Practical Reproducibility in HPC (Nov. 18, ATL) to Oct. 25. Registration is $20 with the discount. Don't wait to sign up! Limited capacity. And don't forget to check out our call for presentations/abstracts. We're offering travel support up to $1500 for top presenters.

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