Abstract: A memory system includes a nonvolatile memory and a memory controller including a bus, a cache memory, a direct memory access controller, a first search circuit, a second search circuit, and a transfer control circuit. The direct memory access controller transfers cache target data stored in the nonvolatile memory to the cache memory. The second search circuit searches the cache target data that is being transferred. The transfer control circuit assigns, in response to the second search circuit detecting a search hit, to the transfer control circuit and the second search circuit, a bus right which has been assigned at least to the cache memory for the transfer of the cache target data to the cache memory, and obtains, by using the assigned bus right, a search result from the second search circuit via the bus.

Abstract: In a data processing apparatus, when an instruction for starting validation is provided, or when definition information is updated, data input from a data source is collected, and a process for narrowing down of the collected data is executed. In the data narrowing process, by extracting records and items as process targets according to the definition information that defines the operation of the apparatus, the number of data items used for validation is reduced. Then, the operation is validated using the narrowed data. In the operation validation process, a virtual transfer destination of output of data is provided within the apparatus, and the data is output to the virtual transfer destination, for comparison with the output data, whereby the validation of the operation is performed.
