Abstract: Timers #0 through #3 are each supplied with a period for prohibiting a change in a power supply voltage. An OS #A or an OS #B determines necessity to change an operating frequency for a CPU core corresponding to any of the timers #0 through #3 when the timer exceeds the prohibition period. It is determined whether it is necessary to change a power supply voltage supplied to CPU cores #0 through #3 when the OS #A or the OS #B determines necessity to change an operating frequency. When it is determined that a power supply voltage needs to be changed, a power supply voltage change portion 20 changes the power supply voltage supplied to the CPU cores #0 through #3. Therefore, it is possible to improve the processing efficiency without needing to acquire inter-OS lock.
