In this chapter, we introduce enough about cache coherence to understand how consistency models interact with caches. We start in Section 2.1 by presenting the system model that we consider throughout this primer. To simplify the exposition in this chapter and the following chapters, we select the simplest possible system model that is sufficient for illustrating the important issues; we defer until Chapter 9 issues related to more complicated system models. Section 2.2 explains the cache coherence problem that must be solved and how the possibility of incoherence arises. Section 2.3 precisely defines cache coherence.
