    Abstract: PURPOSE: To maximize cache hits by using a page stealing technique for releasing a cache page unlikely to be referred to soon by a different cache reader. CONSTITUTION: Address spaces 25 and 27 successively read a data set 28 and a control element 29 appropriately arranges data read in a buffer 25A or 27A inside a virtual cache H21. In this case, when it is judged that page stealing is required, based on the estimated time of a successive utilization reference until the reutilization of a backing storage page by one of successive readers, the backing storage page to be stolen is judged. Then, as soon as it is requested, the backing storage page is kept stolen as needed until reaching a target. Thus, efficient cache access is performed.
