Write-update
Write-update, also known as write-broadcast, maintains cache coherence by immediately updating all copies of a shared variable in all caches. This is a form of write-through because all writes go over the bus to update copies of shared data. Write-update has the advantage of making new values appear in cache sooner, which can reduce latency. See also cache, cache locality, coherence, false sharing, write-invalidate.
