Abstract: A memory system includes a nonvolatile memory including blocks as data erase units, a measuring unit which measures an erase time at which data in each block is erased, a block controller having a block table which associates a state value indicating one of a free state and a used state with the erase time for each block, a detector which detects blocks in which rewrite has collectively occurred within a short period, a first selector which selects a free block having an old erase time as a first block, a second selector which selects a block in use having an old erase time as a second block, and a leveling unit which moves data in the second block to the first block if the first block is included in the blocks detected by the detector.

Abstract: An information processing system includes a first processor that accesses a first memory, a second processor that accesses a second memory, and a data transfer unit for executing data transfer between the first memory and the second memory. The first processor executes functions of translating an instruction out of instructions included in the program except a memory access instruction into an instruction for the second processor and translating the memory access instruction into an instruction sequence containing a call instruction of the program to transfer the access data on the first memory to the second memory via a data transfer unit.

Abstract: A computer-readable storage medium stores a program for causing a processor to perform a process including: acquiring a first address that specifies a start address of a first area on the main memory where a target data to be cached is stored and range information that specifies a size of the first area on the main memory; converting the first address into a second address that specifies a start address of a second area on the local memory, the second area having a one-to-n correspondence (n=positive integer) to a part of a bit string of the first address; copying the target data stored in the first area specified by the first address and the range information onto the second area specified by the second address and the range information; and storing the second address to allow accessing the target data copied onto the local memory.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a receptor for receiving an event signal occurring in hardware during program execution in time series, a feature event counter for counting the number of occurrences of a feature event to determine the feature of the program, a stored event counter for counting the number of occurrences of stored event determined from the feature event with the maximum number of occurrences, and a storage for storing the count result of the number of occurrences of the stored event.
