I don't know almost anything about hardware but that was very well written and easy to follow. A pleasure to read.

If you are more interested, Appendix C of "Is Parallel Programming Hard, And, If So, What Can You Do About It?" by Paul McKenney (http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/paulmck/perfbook/p...) provides a very detailed description as well. It really helped improve my understanding of how memory barriers and atomics work

It was very helpful for me as well - I saw cache optimization mentioned in these C++ gamedev talks but wasn't quite grasping the issues.
