Original papers on all aspects of computer systems architecture are invited, including, but not restricted to: * arithmetic circuits * processor design and architecture * reconfigurable architectures * instruction-level parallelism * hardware support for operating systems and languages * multiprocessor architectures * interconnection networks * software structures designed to utilise special hardware features * operating systems * embedded systems * compilers * virtual machines All papers will be fully refereed. Full details of the conference are available from http://ciips.ee.uwa.edu.au/~morris/ACAC2002/index.html In 2002, ACSAC'2002 is part of Australasian Computer Science Week - a federation of five conferences covering a wide spectrum of topics in Computer Science and Engineering. This represents a great opportunity to visit Australia and interact with the computer systems architects from "down-under" and the Asia-Pacific region. Tennis fans should note that the Australian Open preceds the conference in Melbourne. Don't languish is a northern hemisphere winter when you could spend a few days on Australian beaches - or meet a kangaroo or koala! We may even resurrect the tradition of a day's sailing before ACSAC if enough people show interest!

Cantin and Mark D. Hill University of Wisconsin-Madison URL: http://www.cs.wisc.edu/multifacet/misc/spec2000cache-data Version 1, Jul 2001 Abstract The SPEC CPU2000 benchmark suite (http://www.spec.org/osg/cpu2000) is a collection of 26 compute-intensive, non-trivial programs used to evaluate the performance of a computer's CPU, memory system, and compilers. The benchmarks in this suite were chosen to represent real-world applications, and thus exhibit a wide range of runtime behaviors. On this webpage, we present functional cache miss ratios and related statistics for selected benchmarks in the SPEC CPU2000 suite. Version 1 present data for 11 benchmarks, with further updates forthcoming. In particular, split L1 cache sizes ranging from 4KB to 1MB with 64B blocks and associativities of 1, 2, 4, 8 and full. Most of this data was collected at the University of Wisconsin-Madison with the aid of the Simplescalar toolset (http://www.simplescalar.org). Submitted by Mark D.
