Abstract: A simulation device executes simulation of a program including a first function and a second function that are similar to each other. An address information storage unit stores address information in which a first start address and a first end address of the first function are associated with a second start address and a second end address of the second function.

An evaluation unit executes cache simulation on the processing address, to evaluate whether to be a cache hit or a cache miss.

Abstract: During opening and closing actions of a window glass, the presence or absence of pinching of a foreign object in a window is determined on the basis of an amount of change in the movement speed of the window glass and a threshold value stored in a storage unit, and a drive direction of a motor is reversed in order to release a foreign object if it is determined that pinching is present.

In addition, a threshold value for pinching determination for a range other than the specific ranges is set to be a preset fixed value.
