Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To maintain, with software, consistency of a cache in a memory area to which only an access utilizing the cache is allowed.SOLUTION: A state manager classifies an area allocated to a corresponding multi-core processor within a first memory area into a first state in which the area is not allocated to processor cores, a second state in which the area is allocated to one of the processor cores and read and write are performed, and a third state in which the area is allocated to one or more of the processor cores and read and write are prohibited, and executes a transition between the states. A cache/memory manager writes back a corresponding cache when the state manager causes a transition from the second state to the third state.
