George Mason University received a $300,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships program (CFDA 47.084), awarded July 15, 2026, with completion targeted for June 30, 2027. The grant supports TILE-DEBUGGER, a Pathways to Enable Open-Source Ecosystems (POSE) Phase I initiative designed to develop an open-source framework that enables developers to simulate and visualize how artificial intelligence (AI) programs execute on graphics processing units (GPUs) and hardware accelerators using standard central processing unit (CPU) machines. The framework includes a three-dimensional (3D) tensor visualization engine and backend-agnostic stack for simulation, instrumentation, and visualization of tile-based programming models without requiring physical accelerator hardware. The project's core deliverables include transitioning TILE-DEBUGGER from a research prototype to a sustainable, community-governed open-source ecosystem with clear, stable interfaces that allow hardware vendors and programming language developers to integrate custom frontends and backends. The team will expand the interactive 3D visualization engine, develop comprehensive documentation and packaging, and organize hackathons, tutorials, and workshops to establish shared best practices and seed community contributions. These outputs aim to lower barriers to AI development participation across vendors and programming languages while reducing deployment costs for trustworthy AI in production environments across fields such as biology and materials science.Federal Grant Award Summary
