  • Patent number: 8341438
    Abstract: An information processing device of the present invention comprises a main CPU capable of taking at least two states which are an operating state and a sleeping state, a sub-CPU having power consumption lower than that of the main CPU and capable of taking at least two states which are an operating state and a sleeping state, and a process request determining section for determining which of the main CPU and the sub-CPU is caused to execute a process related to a request from a peripheral device. The process request determining section determines whether the main CPU is in the sleeping state or the operating state, and when the main CPU is in the sleeping state, determines whether or not the sub-CPU can be caused to execute the process, and when the main CPU is in the operating state, determines whether or not the main CPU can be caused to execute the process, and depending on a result of the determination, causes the main CPU or the sub-CPU to execute the process.

  • Publication number: 20050138320
    Abstract: A memory allocation unit is provided which initializes a memory when the memory is allocated, only if a program is judged unreliable. This memory allocation unit includes: a reliability decision section which decides whether a program is reliable, based on a predetermined decision criterion; a free-page pool section which manages a free page that is a page which can be allocated for the program; an initialization section which initializes the free page that is managed by the free-page pool section; and a page allocator section which receives a page request from the program, chooses a free page in the free-page pool section, requests the reliability decision section to decide whether the program is reliable and receives the result of a decision, and if the decision is made that the program is unreliable, requests the initialization section to initialize the chosen free page and allocates the initialized page for the program.
