The Technology Infrastructure for Data Exploration (TIDE) creates a pioneering computational core facility within the California State University (CSU) system, focused on machine learning and AI research. The computational core will include substantial GPU, CPU, and storage capacity to be housed at San Diego State University for researchers. TIDE's primary objective is to enable scientific drivers across the CSU system, including artificial intelligence for humanoid robots, computational chemistry for tetrapyrrolic molecules, hyperdimensional computing for deep neural networks, and digital archeology featuring photogrammetric analysis. This foundational computational asset also addresses the lack of equitable access to cyberinfrastructure, a significant barrier to the democratization of science identified by the National Science Foundation. The CSU system is the largest and most diverse higher education system in America. It enrolls 460,000 students, provides 50% of all bachelor degrees in California, and 21 of the 23 CSU campuses are Hispanic-serving institutions. The broader impact of TIDE includes democratizing GPU access, thus facilitating full participation in the AI revolution. The initiative will also help diversify the field of science by engaging ethnically diverse and first-generation college students. Additionally, TIDE is expected to attract faculty, boost research productivity, and enhance student engagement and success, amplifying CSU's core educational and research missions.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

数据探索技术基础设施 (TIDE) 在加州州立大学 (CSU) 系统内创建了一个开创性的计算核心设施，专注于机器学习和人工智能研究。计算核心将包括大量 GPU、CPU 和存储容量，将安置在圣地亚哥州立大学供研究人员使用。 TIDE 的主要目标是在整个 CSU 系统中实现科学驱动，包括人形机器人的人工智能、四吡咯分子的计算化学、深度神经网络的超维计算以及以摄影测量分析为特色的数字考古学。这一基础计算资产还解决了缺乏公平访问网络基础设施的问题，这是国家科学基金会确定的科学民主化的一个重大障碍。科罗拉多州立大学系统是美国最大、最多样化的高等教育系统。 它招收 46 万名学生，提供加州 50% 的学士学位，科罗拉多州立大学 23 个校区中有 21 个是为西班牙裔学生提供服务的机构。 TIDE 的更广泛影响包括使 GPU 访问民主化，从而促进全面参与人工智能革命。该倡议还将通过吸引不同种族的第一代大学生来帮助科学领域多元化。此外，TIDE 预计将吸引教师，提高研究生产力，提高学生的参与度和成功率，从而扩大科罗拉多州立大学的核心教育和研究使命。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的评估进行评估，被认为值得支持。影响审查标准。
