ABSTRACT:
A cache use priority of a cache memory is designated by a cache use priority designation unit. In response to an access demand issued from a processing unit, a cache control unit controls the access to the cache memory in accordance with the cache use priority. In the case of a set associative cache for example, the number of ways and the number of blocks to be used within one set are varied based on the cache use priority of a process.
