This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 11th Annual Conference on Advanced Computer Architecture, ACA 2016, held in Weihai, China, in August 2016. The 17 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 89 submissions. The papers address issues such as processors and circuits; high performance computing; GPUs and accelerators; cloud and data centers; energy and reliability; intelligence computing and mobile computing.

This work presents a coherent approach to computer system design that encompasses many, if not most, of the design problems and solution options - starting from the structures of contemporary programming languages and operating systems, extending inwards to the processor's architecture and its implementation. It covers not only the basic tricks and techniques but also the relationships between software and hardware levels of system implementation and operation.
