# False sharing

Notes:

* most modern processors not only cache the requested value but also cache a few more nearby values. 
  * processor caches are working in terms of cache lines, instead of single cacheable values.
* When multiple processors are operating on the same or nearby memory locations, they may end up sharing the same cache line.
