  • Patent number: 10719436
    Abstract: According to an embodiment, a management device includes a counter storage unit, a first management information storage unit, and an update unit. The first management information storage unit stores a first management table capable of storing first management information about each of a predetermined number of first areas. The first management information indicates whether each second area included in a corresponding first area has data written therein. In response to writing of first data into the nonvolatile memory, when a state of a target second area indicated in the first management information about a target first area is an unwritten state, the update unit changes the state of the target second area to a written state; while when the state of the target second area indicated in the first management information is the written state, the update unit updates the counter value for the target first area.

  • Patent number: 10203740
    Abstract: According to an embodiment, an information processing device includes a memory device, one or more peripheral devices, a processor, and a state controller. The processor is able to change between a first state, in which a command is executed, and a second state, in which an interrupt is awaited. When the processor enters the second state and if an operation for data transfer is being performed between at least one of the peripheral devices and the memory device, the state controller switches the information processing device to a third state in which power consumption is lower as compared to the first state. If the operation for data transfer is not being performed between any of the peripheral devices and the memory device, the state controller switches the information processing device to a fourth state in which power consumption is lower as compared to the third state.
