SC2025 is taking place in St. Louis, Missouri from November 16 to 21, 2025. Kate Keahey, Chameleon PI, will be attending the conference and hopes to see some of you there. Below, we list some of the events where Chameleon is getting let out of the box!
Paper Presentation at EduHPC25
As some of you may know, Chameleon supports the NSF-funded FOUNT project, which focuses on creating educational Trovi artifacts that teach students critical skills in computer science, including data systems, storage, machine learning, and data analysis. One of the project PIs of FOUNT, Fraida Fund, used Chameleon in Spring 2025 along with FOUNT artifacts on Trovi to teach a massive graduate-level course on machine learning operations (MLOps) at scale. We collaborated with PI Fund on a paper detailing the course materials, structure, cost (if run on commercial clouds, like AWS or Google), and lessons learned, which will be published in EduHPC25's proceedings. Kate Keahey will present the paper at the workshop on Sunday, November 16, 2025 at 10:45 AM ET. Read the paper here. And check out the EduHPC25 schedule here.
ACM Student Research Competition (SRC) Posters
Chameleon's commitment to education extends beyond the classroom to supporting the next generation of researchers. We're excited to announce that three exceptional students will be presenting posters at the ACM Student Research Competition at SC'25: Hudson Reynolds and Alex Tuecke will showcase their autonomous bioacoustic monitoring system for wildlife conservation, Zahra Temori will present her performance optimizations to the CC-snapshot tool (including an impressive 80% reduction in snapshot creation time), and Saieda Ali Zada will demonstrate her AI-powered documentation assistant that leverages RAG systems to help users navigate Chameleon resources. These projects highlight the diverse research enabled by Chameleon's infrastructure—from edge computing and bare metal benchmarking to GPU-accelerated AI workloads. Stop by the SRC poster session on Tuesday, November 18 at to meet these talented students and learn more about their innovative work. You can read detailed descriptions of all three projects in our student spotlight blog post.
We're excited to participate in this wonderful event. Don't be a stranger!
