Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To appropriately control an access to a memory module. SOLUTION: A setting device which sets up a memory control unit for accessing a memory module which mounts a memory device is equipped with a memory attribute information acquiring section which acquires memory attribute information which indicates the attributes of the memory module from an attribute memory prepared in the memory module; a transfer rate setting section which decides a data transfer rate setting value which is a ratio of an upper limit of data transfer rate for accessing a memory module by a memory control unit against a maximum data transfer rate accessing the memory module by the memory control unit in accordance with the memory attribute information, and sets it in the memory control unit.

Abstract:
PURPOSE: To quickly attain the test of a system memory by fetching a code part in a test program in a cache memory, and by not fetching a data part in the cache memory. CONSTITUTION: A cache memory 40 and a stage signal generating means 42 are incorporated in a microprocessor (CPU) 10. The cache memory 40 is enabled or disabled by a cache control signal inputted to the CPU 10. The sate signal generating means 42 generates a data/code signal (+D/-C signal) indicating whether the CPU 10 performs access to the code part of a program stored in a system memory 30 or performs access to the data part. When the +D/-D signal is a high level, the CPU 10 performs access to the data part, and when the +D/-D signal is a low level, the CPU 10 performs access to the code part.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an information processor capable of adjusting the set temperature for executing temperature control processing, depending on the characteristics of the information processor. SOLUTION: The information processor comprises: a central processing unit; a temperature control information storage section storing the temperature control processing performed for lowering the temperature of the central processing unit while corresponding to the set temperature; a temperature measurement section for measuring the temperature at a measurement location in the central processing unit; a temperature detection section for detecting the fact that the temperature at a detection location in the central processing unit reaches the detection temperature; an offset calculation section calculating offset, a difference between the temperature measured by the temperature measurement section and the detection temperature at the time of detecting the temperature by the temperature detection section; a set temperature correction section calculating the correction value of the setting temperature stored on the temperature control information storage section based on the offset; and a temperature control execution section executing the temperature control processing stored on the temperature control information storage section while corresponding to the set temperature when the temperature measured by the temperature measurement section reaches the correction value of the set temperature.

Abstract:
PURPOSE: To dynamically compensate the signal waveform or timing of each output signal line (RAS, CAS, WE, MA) of a memory controller even when many kinds of extended memories (DIMM card) whose storage capacities or memory chip arrays are different are mounted. CONSTITUTION: This is a memory access controller used for a computer system on which an extended memory 17 can be mounted in addition to a standard memory 13, which controls access to the memories 13 and 17 by more than one signal lines. This memory access controller is provided with an identifying means which reads the identification data of the mounted extended memory 17, discriminating means which discriminates the optimal output current value of each signal line based on the identification data, and means which adjusts the output currents of each signal line based on the discriminated result.
