Cache coherence refers to maintaining consistency between data stored in caches and the main memory in a system with multiple processors that share memory. Without cache coherence protocols, modified data in one processor's cache may not be propagated to other caches or memory. There are different levels of cache coherence - from ensuring all processors see writes instantly to allowing different ordering of reads and writes. Cache coherence aims to ensure reads see the most recent writes and that write ordering is preserved across processors. Directory-based and snooping protocols are commonly used to maintain coherence between caches in multiprocessor systems.

PyPy takes a tracing just-in-time (JIT) compilation approach to optimize Python programs. It works by first interpreting the program, then tracing hot loops and optimizing their performance by compiling them to machine code. This JIT compilation generates and runs optimized trace trees representing the control flow and operations within loops. If guards placed in the compiled code fail, indicating the optimization may no longer apply, execution falls back to the interpreter or recompiles the trace with additional information. PyPy's approach aims to optimize the most common execution paths of Python programs for high performance while still supporting Python's dynamic nature.
