  comment = {Difficult to follow since it is missing its figures. ``Our most
  important result is that multiprocessor systems can benefit considerably more
  than single processor systems with the introduction of CPU: I/O overlap.''
  They overlap I/O needed by some future CPU sequence with the current CPU
  operation. They claim it looks good for large numbers of processors. Their
  orientation seems to be for multiprocessors operating on independent tasks.}
