ABSTRACT:
A static random access memory system used within a microprocessor includes a static random access memory array including a plurality of static random access memories, a storage unit configured to store a context ID used in the execution of a program or a process in association with an access pattern of the plurality of static random access memories in the execution of the program or the process, a search unit configured to, every time context switching occurs, search the storage unit for an access pattern that is associated with a context ID corresponding to a context ID of a program or a process to be executed after the context switching; and a power control unit configured to cause a static random access memory to be readable and writable on the basis of the access pattern of the plurality of static random access memories found by the search unit.
