One of two NSFCloud mid-scale experimental computing research infrastructures, Chameleon is a deeply reconfigurable cloud computing testbed supporting large-scale Computer Science experimentation. Located at the University of Chicago and the Texas Advanced Computing Center, it is composed of over 600 compute nodes and a total of 5 petabytes of storage supporting data-intensive science. Since its public availability in July 2015, Chameleon has attracted a community of over 1,300 users working on over 200 education and research projects.In Phase 2 of the NSFCloud program, this project will expand Chameleon capabilities and capacity, and will fulfill its mission of serving as a testbed that is used extensively by the research community by:1) broadening the set of supported experiments through the addition of new hardware and software supporting high bandwidth and Software Defined Networking (SDN)2) providing operational sustainability by streamlining operations, packaging the testbed as open source software that can be leveraged by others, and developing a process for adding resources to the testbed3) provide support for managing, understanding, comparing and reproducing Computer Science experiments, and4) focusing effort on building an engaged community around the testbed via both traditional outreach including targeted training and education efforts, and direct personalized outreach to experimenters.

Chameleon的两个NSFCLOUD中尺度实验计算研究基础设施之一，是一种可重新配置的云计算测试床，支持大型计算机科学实验。它位于芝加哥大学和德克萨斯州高级计算中心，由600多个计算节点和共有5 botabytes的数据密集型科学组成。自2015年7月的公众供应以来，Chameleon吸引了1300多名从事200多个教育和研究项目的用户的社区。在NSFCloud计划的第2阶段，该项目将扩大变色龙的能力和能力，并将满足其作为测试型的使命，并将其作为测试型床位提供，并通过：1）宽广的软件范围通过：1）扩大了由：1）扩大了新的软件，并通过：1）范围范围内的软件，并通过以下方面的范围进行了范围，并通过：1）范围内的软件范围。1） （SDN）2）通过简化操作，将测试台包装为可以由他人利用的开放源软件包装，并开发一个为测试床上添加资源的过程，以管理，比较，比较和再现计算机科学实验的管理，4）为通过围绕传统的培训和驾驶培训培训，为围绕测试人员的努力提供了努力，并提供了针对性的培训，并提供了支持，并提供了培训，并提供了支持，并为培训提供了培训，并提供了支持。
