Publisher's Synopsis
The Australasian Computer Architecture Workshop (ACAW) is a series of annual workshops which was originally developed for the computer architecture community. ACAW '96, the fourth in this series, was the first to be held as a full conference with refereed research papers solicited from authors in Australia, Japan and Austria. These proceedings are a result of this successful two-day event and contain 14 research papers covering various areas of computer architecture as well as the papers of the two keynote speakers.
