New FABlib Features and Example Jupyter Notebooks

[Paul Ruth]

We are excited to announce an update to the FABlib library. This update includes several new features, a streamlined configuration process, and a few bug fixes.

Notable changes include:

Streamlined configuration: See the “Configure Environment” example notebook. After setting your bastion username and project ID, you should only need to run this notebook once. After that, all notebooks will always use the same configuration and you will no longer need to set environment variables in each notebook.
Facility Ports: Connect your FABRIC experiments to external facilities such as Chameleon. More information about facility ports will be provided soon.
Experiment configuration tips and tricks: The jupyter-examples now include a set of notebooks showing some useful configuration tips and tricks.

In order to access the new examples, you can run the following commands in the jupyter-examples directory.

‘git reset –hard
git pull origin rel1.2.1’

After updating your examples, you will need to edit and run the “Configure Environment” example notebook. Then try all the new examples.

Note that existing notebooks and programs *should* work with the FABlib update unmodified.
