  abstract = {Many scientific applications tend to perform high volume data
  storage, data retrieval and data processing, which demands high performance
  from the I/O subsystem. The focus and contribution of this work is to study
  the I/O behavior of the Hartree-Fock method using PASSION. HF's I/O phases
  can contribute up to 62.34\% of the total execution time. We reduce the
  execution time and I/O time up to 54\% and 6\% respectively of that of the
  original case through PASSION and its optimizations. Additionally, we
  categorize the factors that affect the I/O performance of HF into key
  application-related parameters and key system-related parameters. Based on
  extensive empirical results and within our experimental space, we order the
  parameters according to their impact on HF's I/O performance as follows:
  efficient interface, prefetching, buffering, number of I/O nodes, striping
  factor and striping unit. We conclude that application-related factors have a
  more significant effect on HF's I/O performance than the system-related
  factors within our experimental space.},
