GEM STATE INFORMATICS INC — Department of Energy SBIR Phase II: C51-07c
GEM STATE INFORMATICS INC — SBIR Phase II award from Department of Energy.
Phase II SBIR prototype / development signal
- Phase II is where Department of Energy funds deeper R&D after feasibility. Incumbents with Phase II history are serious competitors on adjacent topics.
- Use this award as past-performance context and to map customer organizations for STRATFI/TACFI-style transition planning.
- At $1,650,000, this is a large obligation for typical SBIR Phase sizing — worth reviewing for scope breadth and teaming opportunity.
- Topic code C51-07c links this award to a solicitation family — search the same topic stem for incumbents and recompete timing.

Description
Computational Storage platforms are emerging as a disruptive enhancement in the data processing ecosystem as they have the potential to address the critical bottleneck of limited I/O bandwidth and high latency between storage and compute nodes in the system hierarchy. This “late coming” technology to the Exascale program has the potential to enhance DOE and the broader government’s leadership in Exascale computing, AI, and data science. Commercially, the applicability of a new storage platform to data science cannot be underestimated, as data is frequently stored with the idea that it will be useful once the computational capability exists to extract meaningful insights. This project facilitates the enablement of computational storage platforms by rapidly extending existing storage interfaces with computational storage capability, by creating a new storage system architecture that enables richer utilization of that capability, and by pursuing a fully commodity approach to computational storage. It supports the disruptive potential to “unlock data” in both data-driven science and AI/Machine Learning.
