Research, recent and old, payed much attention on reducing the cycle time and increasing the speed of execution of the processor. This lead to the development of multiple core processors that distribute and share load among the many processors. The important question to answer would be, will the shared cache technology for multi-core work as efficiently as it did for uni-core processors? Our analysis in this paper, takes into consideration the impact that caches have on a uni-core environment and in a shared multi-core environment. In order to demonstrate this we use: DINERO IV for analysing the performance of uni-core environment and CACTI (Cache Access Cycle Time Indicator) for analysing the performance of multi-core environment.
