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的GPU，CPU和存储容量，将被安置在圣地亚哥州立大学的研究人员。TIDE的主要目标是在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，深度神经网络的多维计算以及具有摄影测量分析的数字考古学。这一基础计算资产还解决了缺乏公平使用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。CSU系统是美国最大和最多样化的高等教育系统。 它招收了46万名学生，提供了加州50%的学士学位，23个CSU校区中有21个是为西班牙裔服务的机构。 TIDE的更广泛影响包括使GPU访问民主化，从而促进全面参与AI革命。该倡议还将通过吸引不同种族和第一代大学生，帮助科学领域多样化。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，扩大CSU的核心教育和研究任务。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估的支持。
