  comment = {As opposed to synchronous disk interleaving, where disks are
  rotationally synchronous and one access is processed at a time. They develop
  a performance model and validate it with traces of a database system's disk
  accesses. Average access delay on each disk can be approximated by a normal
  distribution.}
