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.

用于数据探索的技术基础架构（TIDE）在加利福尼亚州立大学（CSU）系统内创建了一个开创性的计算核心设施，重点是机器学习和AI研究。计算核心将包括大量的GPU，CPU和在圣地亚哥州立大学供研究人员容纳的存储能力。潮流的主要目标是在CSU系统中启用科学驱动因素，包括针对人形机器人的人工智能，四吡咯分子的计算化学，深度神经网络的高维计算以及具有摄影测量分析的数字考古学。该基础计算资产还解决了缺乏公平的网络基础设施的访问，这是国家科学基金会确定的科学民主化的重大障碍。 CSU系统是美国最大，最多样化的高等教育系统。 它招募了460,000名学生，提供了加利福尼亚州所有学士学位的50％，而23个CSU校园中有21个是西班牙裔服务机构。 潮汐的更广泛影响包括将GPU访问民主化，从而促进了对AI革命的充分参与。该计划还将通过吸引种族多样化和第一代大学生来帮助多样化科学领域。此外，潮汐有望吸引教师，提高研究生产力并提高学生的参与和成功，扩大CSU的核心教育和研究任务。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛影响的审查标准来通过评估来获得支持的。
