cache model of ppc

Dear,
I some questions about the PowerPC cache model.
How many caches are there?
How many caches are in multi-core systems? do you have a L1 cache per cpu and one shared L2? or is there a victim L3 cache?
can you tell me something about the path through the cache? for example I look up for data in L1, but this was a miss. Then i look up in L2 this was also a miss. but the date will be in another L1 cache of another cpu. Is there a 1.5 or 2.5 hit?
can you help me please?
this is for my bachelorthesis
thanks a lot
felix

It depends greatly on the core, chip, and cache used. That varies widely across the PPC universe.

This is all dependent on the particular CPU you're talking about, and should be described in its manual.
