ABSTRACT:: Past research on high performance computers for scientific 
applications has concentrated on CPU speed and exploitation of parallelism,
but has, until very recently, neglected I/O considerations. This paper 
presents a study of the production workload at the San Diego Supercomputer
Center from an I/O requirements and characteristics perspective. Results of 
our analyses support our hypothesis that a significant proportion of scientific
applications with intensive I/O demands have predictable I/O requirements.
