Explanation of Solution

Pros and cons of shared vs. private L2 cache:

Cache designShared L2 cachePrivate L2 cache
TypesAdvantages and drawbacksAdvantages and drawbacks
Single threaded workloadsIn singe threaded workloads of shared L2 cache, there are no advantages and drawbacks on instruction.

In singe threaded workloads of private L2 cache, there are no advantages and drawbacks on instruction.

Multi-threaded workloads

In multi-threaded system, shared caches can perform better for workloads because it shares the work within the processor.

There are no drawbacks in multi-threaded system.
