Chameleon is a large-scale, reconfigurable experimental platform funded by NSF and built to support computer science systems research, education, and emerging applications including AI/ML. Having served 13,000+ users to date, Chameleon allows researchers, educators, and students to work directly with state-of-the-art computing resources typically beyond the reach of individual users — and complements national AI research infrastructure in the NAIRR ecosystem by providing a highly configurable, experiment-focused environment.
This webinar provides an accessible introduction to Chameleon's capabilities for the NAIRR community. We will cover how to get started with Chameleon, including the project application process and available support for researchers, students, and classes. Attendees will learn about Chameleon's unique features — including bare metal access, advanced reservation systems, power monitoring, and edge computing resources — and see live demonstrations using the Chameleon web portal and programmatic tools like python-chi and Jupyter notebooks. We will also highlight real-world use cases from Chameleon's community, spanning AI and machine learning, reproducibility, energy-efficient computing, and systems research.
