Several studies point out the benefits of a shared L2 cache, but some other properties of shared caches must be considered to lead to a thorough understanding of all chip multiprocessor (CMP) bottlenecks. Our paper evaluates and explains shared cache bottlenecks, which are very important considering the rise of many-core processors. The results of our simulations with 32 cores show low performance when L2 cache memory is shared between 2 or 4 cores. In these two cases, the increase of L2 cache latency and contention are the main causes responsible for the increase of execution time.
