  • Patent number: 10776007
    Abstract: A memory management device of an example of the invention controls writing into and reading from a main memory including a nonvolatile semiconductor memory and a volatile semiconductor memory in response to a writing request and a reading request from a processor. The memory management device includes a coloring information storage unit that stores coloring information generated based on a data characteristic of write target data to be written into at least one of the nonvolatile semiconductor memory and the volatile semiconductor memory, and a writing management unit that references the coloring information to determines a region into which the write target data is written from the nonvolatile semiconductor memory and the volatile semiconductor memory.

  • Patent number: 9280466
    Abstract: A device according to an example of the invention comprises a section which accepts a write destination logical address and write target data from a processor, the write destination logical address indicating a write position to write the write target data into a composite memory which includes a first memory and a nonvolatile second memory, a section which determines a write destination physical address corresponding to the write destination logical address so that the number of times of access to the second memory is smaller than the number of times of access to the first memory, a section which stores, in a storage section, address conversion data associating the write destination logical address with the write destination physical address, and a section which writes the write target data into a position in the composite memory indicated by the write destination physical address.

  • Publication number: 20110246600
    Abstract: A memory sharing apparatus includes a server, a host and a client. The server includes a shared page which is an entity of a shared memory, a share setting page which is data in which an index value of each shared page is collected, and a grant table in which a page frame number of each share setting page and the index value are stored so as to correspond to each other. The host includes a database in which the index value in the grant table is managed. The client includes the shared page and a shared page area to which the shared page is mapped, and a share setting page area to which the share setting page is mapped.

  • Publication number: 20090271785
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, an information processing apparatus capable of controlling a plurality of operating systems, includes an activation module which activates an activation program, a management module which manages the plurality of operating systems to be activated by the activation module, a storage module which stores a main operating system that runs on the management module and a guest operating system that runs on the management module via a virtual activation program, and a notification module which, if a monitoring program that runs on the main operating system activated determines that a configuration of the information processing apparatus has changed, causes a notification program running on the main operating system to notify the guest operating system activated from the storage module via the virtual activation program of change information of the configuration of the information processing apparatus.
