Editing CPU cache (section)

====Smart cache====
'''Smart cache''' is a [[#MULTILEVEL|level 2]] or [[#MULTILEVEL|level 3]] caching method for multiple execution cores, developed by [[Intel]].

Smart Cache shares the actual cache memory between the cores of a [[multi-core processor]]. In comparison to a dedicated per-core cache, the overall [[cache miss]] rate decreases when cores do not require equal parts of the cache space. Consequently, a single core can use the full level 2 or level 3 cache while the other cores are inactive.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/architecture-and-technology/intel-smart-cache.html|title=Intel Smart Cache: Demo|publisher=[[Intel]]|access-date=2012-01-26}}</ref> Furthermore, the shared cache makes it faster to share memory among different execution cores.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://software.intel.com/file/18374/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111229193036/http://software.intel.com/file/18374/ |title=Inside Intel Core Microarchitecture and Smart Memory Access |format=PDF |page=5 |publisher=[[Intel]] |year=2006 |access-date=2012-01-26 |archive-date=2011-12-29 |url-status=dead}}</ref>
