In this month's user experiment blog we get a fascinating insight into how much power training deep neural networks (DNNs) consumes – and how to make it less. The authors’ discuss research presented as part of their NSDI ’23 paper, describe how they structured their experiments on Chameleon, and explain why bare metal resources are essential for power management research. 

Learn how Radar Operations Center (ROC) used Chameleon resources as a standing backup for a planned outage.

Learn how to use EdgeVPN.io to easily create Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) and run unmodified middleware and applications across edge and cloud computing resources across networks with different firewalls and NATs (Network Address Translators).

Researchers from Arizona State University developed DataStorm -- an easy-to-use platform for large scale ensemble simulations, which enables researchers to collaborate and achieve deep actionable insights.

How do you develop and evaluate a new analytic on a network connection data set across large, enterprise systems without malware used to train machine learning models for cyber attacks? Researchers at the University of Virginia approach the problem by simulating self-propagating malware.

Graph Pattern Mining (GPMI) applications are considered a new class of data-intensive applications -- they generate massive irregular computation workloads and pose memory access challenges, which degrade the performance and scalability significantly. Researchers at the Illinois Institute of Technology approach the problem by using the emerging process-in-memory architecture.

Learn how researchers are pairing autonomous vehicles with Chameleon to bridge edge to cloud computation to conduct marine surveys. Featuring work presented at the 2021 Supercomputing conference, with a notebook available on Trovi that you can reproduce yourself, and a YouTube video to accompany it!

Learn about how researchers at the University of Chicago are using Chameleon’s new edge computing testbed, CHI@Edge to investigate how resource management can be applied to the concept of shared edge to optimize AI applications.

Learn about how researchers combine ARA, an at-scale platform for advanced wireless research and CHI@Edge as a baseline software platform for agriculture applications including high-throughput crop phenotyping, precision livestock farming, agriculture automation and rural education.
