Description: The University of Texas at San Antonio is one of five institutions nationwide partnering on a $10 million National Science Foundation (NSF) grant to create a cloud-computing testbed that will let researchers develop and experiment with new cloud architectures and applications. The NSFCloud project will support the design, deployment and initial operation of Chameleon, a large-scale testbed consisting of 650 cloud nodes and five petabytes of storage. All researchers that have computational or big data analytics needs in their research are encouraged to attend. Paul Rad, co-principal investigator for Chameleon and Assistant Director of the Open Cloud Institute at UTSA, will lead training and outreach efforts for the project.
