This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) provides $298,725 to Boise State University to expand their campus computing cyberinfrastructure to support AI research and education. The project, titled "CC* COMPUTE-CAMPUS: SCALING HARDWARE FOR AI RESEARCH AND EDUCATION (SHARE)", is upgrading the university's infrastructure with six high-performance computing nodes, each equipped with four NVIDIA L40S GPUs. This will enable Boise State researchers to utilize advanced AI tools and participate in an AI community of practice. Students will also gain hands-on experience with AI through course projects in data science, natural language processing, and other AI-related fields. The project aims to enhance Boise State's research capabilities in areas such as large language models, energy-efficient hardware simulation, weather/ocean/materials modeling, and business AI. Additionally, Boise State is extending access to this AI-optimized infrastructure to institutions across Idaho and through the Open Science Grid Consortium. The award period runs from December 1, 2024, to November 30, 2026.
