The Petascale Active Data Store (PADS) will be a petabyte (1015-byte)-scale online storage server capable of sustained multi-gigabyte/s I/O performance, tightly integrated with a 9 teraflop/s computing resource and multi-gigabit/s local and wide area networks. Its hardware and associated software will enable the reliable storage of, access to, and analysis of massive datasets by both local users and the national scientific community.The PADS design results from a study of the storage and analysis requirements of participating groups in astrophysics and astronomy, computer science, economics, evolutionary and organismal biology, geosciences, high-energy physics, linguistics, materials science, neuroscience, psychology, and sociology. For these groups, PADS represents a significant opportunity to look at their data in new ways, enabling new scientific insights. The infrastructure also will encourage new collaborations across disciplines. PADS is also a vehicle for computer science research into active data store systems, and will provide rich data on which to investigate new techniques. Results will be made available as open source software.

Petascale Active Data Store（PADS）将是一个PB（1015字节）规模的在线存储服务器，能够保持多千兆字节/秒的I/O性能，与9万亿次浮点运算/秒的计算资源和多千兆字节/秒的局域网和广域网紧密集成。港口及机场发展系统的硬件及相关软件，将可供本地用户及国家科学界可靠地储存、取用及分析大量的数据集。港口及机场发展系统的设计，是根据一项研究而得出，研究对象包括天体物理学及天文学、电脑科学、经济学、进化及生物学、地球科学、高能物理学、语言学、材料科学、神经科学、心理学和社会学。对于这些群体来说，PADS代表了一个重要的机会，可以以新的方式查看他们的数据，从而获得新的科学见解。基础设施还将鼓励跨学科的新合作。港口及机场发展系统亦是研究主动数据储存系统的计算机科学工具，并将为研究新技术提供丰富的数据。结果将作为开放源码软件提供。
