i know, this was a tongue-firmly-in-cheek kind of comment, but on the off by one chance that you are serious, look no further than: 'A Primer on Memory Consistency and Cache Coherence' (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1608455645/)

and ofcourse, while you are at it, you might want to check out 'UNIX Systems for Modern Architectures: Symmetric Multiprocessing and Caching' as well, it also is pretty good, but with a broader focus (https://www.amazon.com/dp/0201633388)

Over the top, but fun: Unix Systems for Modern Architectures

My main introduction to caches, cache sharing, etc. were from UNIX(R) Systems for Modern Architectures: Symmetric Multiprocessing and Caching for Kernel Programmers

http://www.amazon.com/UNIX-Systems-Modern-Architectures-Mult...

Still a good book. A little dated in some bits, but good.
