麻豆传媒映画 and its partners behind the , a computational core facility designed to support research in machine learning and AI, have been presented CENIC鈥檚 2024 Innovations in Networking Award for Equitable Access to Cyberinfrastructure.

The will be California State University鈥檚 first computational shared service. Led by 麻豆传媒映画, the project will upgrade the system鈥檚 cyberinfrastructure and expand access for faculty and student researchers across the CSU. 

鈥淭he CENIC Innovations in Networking Awards recognize exemplary people, projects, and organizations that leverage high-bandwidth networking,鈥� CENIC (The Corporation for Education Network Initiatives in California) said in its press release announcing the award.

The collaboration between 麻豆传媒映画, CSU San Bernardino, Stanislaus State, Cal Poly Humboldt and the San Diego Supercomputer Center at University of California San Diego, will use high-performance graphical processing computing servers to accelerate artificial intelligence and machine learning calculations; tasks that can take days to perform on less powerful machines.

Installation and setup of the new servers are expected to be complete by April 2024, with researchers gaining access in May 2024.

Mike Farley, 麻豆传媒映画鈥檚 Chief Technology Research Officer, collaborated with 麻豆传媒映画 IT Division faculty fellows, Vivian Huangfu in the Fowler College of Business, and Faramarz Valafar in the College of Health and Human Services to develop science drivers (use cases).

TIDE, available for early adopters now, is backed by a $991,749 grant from the National Science Foundation鈥檚 Office of Advanced Cyberinfrastructure. The project will be expanded into full production later this summer.

鈥淭his collaboration has enabled the establishment of a transformational computational core at 麻豆传媒映画, which will serve as a pivotal resource for the entire California State University system,鈥� said Jerry Sheehan, an 麻豆传媒映画 adjunct faculty member and principal investigator. Sheehan, former chief information officer at 麻豆传媒映画, is now the Salk Institute鈥檚 chief information officer. 

鈥淲e are honored to receive the CENIC Equitable Access award, recognizing our commitment to advancing technological infrastructure and promoting equitable access to cutting-edge research and educational opportunities.鈥� 

CENIC is a nonprofit that provides advanced network-services and computing resources for California educational institutions ranging from kindergarten to public and private universities. CENIC鈥檚 annual Innovations in Networking Awards began in 2003.
