+## Performance issues with multi-threaded reductions
+[False sharing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_sharing) is a known performance issue
+for systems with distributed caches. It also occurred for the implementation of a thread
+parallel bounds checking routine for the subcell IDP limiting
+in [PR #1736](https://github.com/trixi-framework/Trixi.jl/pull/1736).
+After some [testing and discussion](https://github.com/trixi-framework/Trixi.jl/pull/1736#discussion_r1423881895),
+it turned out that initializing a vector of length `n * Threads.nthreads()` and only using every
+n-th entry instead of a vector of length `Threads.nthreads()` fixes the problem.
+Since there are no processors with caches over 128B, we use `n = 128B / size(uEltype)`.
+Now, the bounds checking routine of the IDP limiting scales as hoped.
