Abstract: To enable a flexible snapshot to be invoked through a simple site configuration by storing a difference updated when updating a content as history information. When updating a content stored on a storage unit into a new content, history information is created by comparing the new content with a content when updating, request information for the content is received, the history information corresponding to the request information is searched from the storage unit, the content is regenerated based on the history information as a result of the search, and the regenerated content is provided to a requester.

Abstract: A semiconductor device constituted by a VSMP (Vertical Surface Mount Package) is provided in which a thickness of a plastic package encapsulating a semiconductor chip is very small, wherein even when a semiconductor chip having large power consumption is contained therein, the effect of heat radiation can be effectively improved. A VSMP constituting the semiconductor device, which is mounted perpendicularly on a surface of a substrate, includes: external connection terminals for supplying I/O signals from peripheral circuits and electric power to the semiconductor chip; supporting terminals for holding the VSMP in a perpendicularly-mounted state; a plastic package for protecting the internal elements; and radiating fins with an irregular configuration provided on both sides of the plastic package. The radiating fins having the irregular configuration are formed so as to extend in a direction of a length of the semiconductor device and are formed on both the front side and the rear side of the plastic package.
