"Emerald remotely conducts your experiments in a highly automated ECL facility exactly to your specifications."

so let me get this right: they think that scientists who question their own results at times, will gladly believe whatever a remote team of strangers in a cloud lab will give them? really?

The Transcend Lab feels a bit dystopic to me. I'm all for WFH but this feels like they didn't fully think this through. there's so many ways data could be tampered and derail scientific progress ..

Would you trust the results from such an outsourced cloud lab?

"Gone are the days largely when we were focused on how do we structure data for ingestion into an #AI model; we can now throw unstructured data into a model and work with results. I think one of the challenges that we are seeing already with a #CloudLab model where so much data is available to us is figuring out what are we going to keep? How do we decide what we selectively store? -Keith Webster

So, I have one VM with 4 cores ARM cpu and two VM's both with 1 AMD core. In the always free option of Oracle Cloud.

Now, what to do with them?

I'm super proud of my student @lremes who just defended his Bachelor's Thesis. It's a distributed #fuzzer, Hopper, and he got it running with up to 240 distributed process on #CloudLab. It's been great working with him for the last few years.

We'll get his thesis posted soon, but Hopper is already up on github: https://github.com/Cybergenik/hopper

Last week, I ran a panel with @dave_andersen and Cody Cutler covering the history of the Flux Research Group at the #UofU and testbeds like #Emulab, #CloudLab, and #PowderWireless . The video is now up: https://www.youtube.com/live/LUFp6sjKbkE?feature=share&t=15360

(This is a particular timestamp in a video that covers the whole day of talks about the 50-year history of the Kahlert School of Computing and by various alumni.)

I took some folks on a tour of the #UofU downtown #datacenter, which houses part of #CloudLab (along with a great many other things.)

Pictured: Aleks, one of the primary CloudLab administrators and the person who works most directly with the hardware. Hannah, who has been doing #HCI studies of how people use CloudLab (thanks to those who have participated!); Pavani, who is working on fine-grained measurements of latency and building a pseudo-layer1 switch using #P4; and Sachin, who is working on the #security of #ssh and network security processes more broadly.
