You can access the program in your menu after you get the program installed. I am using Ubuntu MATE with the traditional menu, so I access it by clicking on the Applications menu, highlight System Tools, and then click on CPU-X or CPU-X (Root).

Caches is the second tab that displays information about your L1 Cache, L2 Cache, and L3 Cache. (A cache is a component that stores data so that future requests for that data can be served faster; the data stored in a cache might be the result of an earlier computation or a copy of data stored elsewhere.)

Bench is the seventh tab across the top. This section will allow you to run some benchmark tests on your system. It's a good idea to run the benchmark tests on your system when it works great and keep a record of your results. Then when your system misbehaves you can run the benchmark tests again and record the results. Then compare the data to help you locate your issue.
