  Re: What are the main issues associated with multiprocessor caches and how might you solve them?
Answer
# 1
issue : Cache  coherency or Data coherency. The problem is 
all the processors cache should have exactly the same 
shared data (cohenrent data). and there are races possible 
with multiprocessors. 

possible solution: use one central cache controller which 
will get all the read/write requests from all the 
processors and peripherals so that it can make sure there 
are no races and cache coherency is maintained.
