This theme is applied to the history and the present condition of Australian Aboriginals.

The Illiac IV

Hord, R. M.

Conceived initially as a grand experiment in computer science, the revolutionary architecture incorporated both a high level of parallelism and pipe­ lining. After a difficult gestation, the Illiac IV became operational in November 1975. It has for a decad...
