德克萨斯理工大学获州半导体创新基金1911万美元拨款：建下一代计算集群
德克萨斯州州长 Greg Abbott 11月12日宣布，德克萨斯州半导体创新基金（TSIF）向位于德克萨斯州 Lubbock 的德克萨斯理工大学（TTU）拨款19,108,579美元，用于该校的下一代计算集群项目。
州长 Abbott 说，德克萨斯州是高等教育研究推动现实创新的地方，公共研究机构里的优秀人才配上加速学习的工具，将推进美国在半导体研发上的领先地位。TTU 的项目将用一组互联的高性能服务器构成一个统一系统，处理大规模并行工作负载，改变半导体研发的方式。
德克萨斯理工大学校长 Lawrence Schovanec 感谢州长与州领导的投资，称这笔支持将扩大该校把先进计算用于德克萨斯州重要课题的能力，并培养学生在技术驱动的世界里担当领导。校监 Brandon Creighton 说，英伟达最先进的计算技术来到德克萨斯理工大学后，该校将拥有全美公共研究型大学中最快、最强的计算能力，这笔投资将结合该校创新中心与 Reese 国家安全综合体，加速研究、培养下一代人才并加强国家安全。
州参议员 Charles Perry 与州众议员 Carl Tepper 也肯定这笔投资对西德克萨斯州的意义。Abbott 于2023年签署《德克萨斯州芯片法》设立 TSIF 与德克萨斯州半导体创新联盟，由州长办公室下属的德克萨斯州芯片办公室管理，目的是保持德克萨斯州在半导体制造上的全国领先地位。
Texas Tech University Gets $19.1 Million Texas Semiconductor Innovation Fund Grant for Next-Generation Computing Cluster
Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced on November 12 that a Texas Semiconductor Innovation Fund (TSIF) grant of $19,108,579 has been extended to Texas Tech University (TTU) in Lubbock, Texas, for its next-generation computing cluster project.
Governor Abbott said Texas is where higher education research powers real-world innovation, and that the bright minds in public research institutions like Texas Tech, equipped with tools that accelerate learning, will advance America's leadership in semiconductor research and development. TTU's project will use a network of interconnected high-performance servers designed to function as a single unified system to handle massive, parallel workloads.
Texas Tech University President Lawrence Schovanec thanked the governor and state leaders for the investment, saying it will expand the university's ability to apply advanced computing to challenges that matter to Texas. Chancellor Brandon Creighton said that with NVIDIA's most advanced computing technology coming to Texas Tech, the university will have the fastest and most powerful computing capability at any public research university in the nation, and that together with the Texas Tech Innovation Hub and Reese National Security Complex the investment will accelerate research, develop talent and strengthen national security.
State Senator Charles Perry and State Representative Carl Tepper also welcomed the investment for West Texas. Governor Abbott signed the Texas CHIPS Act into law in 2023 to establish the TSIF and the Texas Semiconductor Innovation Consortium, administered by the Texas CHIPS Office within the Office of the Governor.
