    Meh...

    Wikipedia has it better and more comprehensive - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CPU_cache

    For usage of caches from a OS, particularly in the context of multicores/multiprocessors see Curt Schimmel's classic Unix Systems for Modern Architectures: Symmetric Multiprocessing and Caching for Kernel Programmers.

      If it's not too much trouble, could you recommend some other books as well? I've only read Computer Systems: A Programmer's Perspective when it comes to caching-related books.
