Zusammenfassung:A computer includes a memory and a cache holding a part of data stored in the memory in any of a plurality of data regions. In a case of replacing first data of a first data size held in the cache with second data of a second data size larger than the first data size, allocation of data regions of the cache is changed in units of the second data size by referring to a first management list that includes a plurality of first entries that correspond to the plurality of data regions, respectively, for managing priorities of the data regions for each of the plurality of processes, and a second management list that includes a plurality of second entries corresponding to the first entries for a process that uses the first data size, for managing priorities of first data of the first data size held in the data regions.
