  abstract = {Most studies of processor scheduling in multiprogrammed parallel
  systems have ignored the I/O performed by applications. Recent studies have
  demonstrated that significant I/O operations are performed by a number of
  different classes of parallel applications. This paper focuses on some basic
  issues that underlie scheduling in multiprogrammed parallel environments
  running applications with I/O. Characterization of the I/O behavior of
  parallel applications is discussed first. Based on simulation models this
  research investigates the influence of these I/O characteristics on processor
  scheduling.}
