Abstract: The present invention provides a memory system that optimizes, during a sleep mode, a refresh period for a memory device, such as DRAM, which stores meaningful data and for which a refresh operation is required to prevent the loss of data.

Abstract: The computer system comprises a processor 1, a cache memory 2 of this processor, a main memory 4, an I/O device 6 directly accessible to this main memory, an I/O controller 7, and the like. It is made so that the I/O controller can execute processing to retain data consistency between the cache memory and the main memory during access to the main memory by the I/O device. The I/O controller has an address buffer 9 that retains the cache line address of the previous access by the I/O device and it is made so that the consistency maintenance operation is not executed in cases other than the first access when accesses to the main memory by the I/O device are made continuously in the same data block.

Abstract: The bandwidth of the data transfer among a main memory and snoopy caches is improved by solving the bus bottleneck in a multiprocessor system using a snoopy cache technique. Shared bus coupling is employed for an address/command bus requiring bus snoop whereas multiple data paths coupled by an interconnection network are used for the data bus not requiring bus snoop. The multiple data paths reflect the order of the snoopy operations on the order of data transfer such as to maintain data consistency among the caches.
