SUMMARY:INDIS Afternoon Keynote
DESCRIPTION:Kate Keahey (Argonne National Laboratory)\n\nKate Keahey will 
 give the second keynote on "Chameleon: New Capabilities for Experimental C
 omputer Science". Chameleon is a large-scale, deeply reconfigurable testbe
 d built specifically to explore a broad range of different state-of-the-ar
 t hardware options, assess scalability of systems, and provide conditions 
 that allow deep reconfigurability and isolation so that one user does not 
 impact the experiments of another. It currently consists of almost 20,000 
 cores, over 5PBs of total disk space hosted at the University of Chicago a
 nd TACC, and leverages 100 Gbps connection between the sites. The hardware
  includes a large-scale homogenous compute partition, as well a diversity 
 of configurations and architectures including Infiniband, GPUs, FPGAs, sto
 rage hierarchies with a mix of HDDs, SDDs, NVRAM, and high memory as well 
 as non-x86 architectures such as ARMs and Atoms. To support systems experi
 ments, Chameleon provides a configuration system giving users full control
  of the software stack including root privileges, kernel customization, an
 d console access. To date, Chameleon has supported 2,700+ users working on
  over 350+ projects. \n \nThis talk will describe the evolution of the tes
 tbed as well as the current work towards broadening the range of supported
  experiments. In particular, I will discuss recently deployed hardware and
  new networking capabilities allowing experimenters to deploy their own sw
 itch controllers and experiment with Software Defined Networking (SDN). I 
 will also describe new capabilities targeted at improving experiment manag
 ement, monitoring, and analysis as well as tying together testbed features
  to improve experiment repeatability. Finally, I will outline our plans fo
 r packaging the Chameleon infrastructure to allow others to reproduce its 
 configuration easily and thereby making the process of configuring a CS te
 stbed more sustainable.\n\nTag: Architectures, Networks, Security\n\nRegis
