[info] lwn: what every programmer should know about memory

[Alejandro Dubrovsky]

(
for those of you who don't follow Linux Weekly News, there's a very
readable PDF by Ulrich Drepper (main developer of glibc) about memory
and CPU caches as they relate to performance with special attention to
multi-core CPUs.  It has been serialised during the last 8-9 weeks
starting from http://lwn.net/Articles/250967/ or the whole thing can be
downloaded from http://people.redhat.com/drepper/cpumemory.pdf
