Recent News and Announcements
- We are in the process of adding 16 additional FPGAs to OCT (8 U280s, 4 VCK5000s, and 4 V70s).
- Our Paper on “P4-based In-Network Telemetry for FPGAs in the Open Cloud Testbed and FABRIC.” was accepted for publication in the CNERT INFOCOM Workshop.
- We demonstrated interoperability between FGPAs in OCT and FABRIC at the KNIT 8 workshop in March.
Project Statement
The NSF “Open Cloud Testbed” (OCT) project will build and support a testbed for research and experimentation into new cloud platforms – the underlying software which provides cloud services to applications. Testbeds such as OCT are critical for enabling research into new cloud technologies – research that requires experiments which potentially change the operation of the cloud itself.
How to get started with OCT
The following links provide information on how to get started with OCT. If you have not used OCT in the past, this is a good way to get initial information on the resources and tools the testbed provides.
