Abstract

It is an object to implement a small-scale data input / output mechanism to a memory at a high speed with a priority all the time for a memory provided in a processor. In an information processing apparatus including a processor for carrying out a pipeline processing over an instruction, a memory provided in the processor and input / output control means for giving access to the memory with a high priority, a memory access arranging method includes a step (S512) of causing a clock to be supplied to the processor to wait when a contention of access of the processor and the input / output control means to the memory is generated, a step (S506) of executing the access of the input / output control means to the memory, and a step (S507, S511) of canceling the clock wait of the processor after ending the access of the input / output control means to the memory, and executing the access of the processor to the memory.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an information processing device including an external input / output mechanism that can perform high-speed reading or writing between a memory device provided in a processor and an external device, and a A method of memory access scheduling in case of access contention to a memory device. Background technique [0002] Typically, dual-port memory is used as the easiest method of implementation when multiple control devices are performing reads from or writes to one memory device. However, in recent years, emphasis has been placed on system LSIs in the LSI market, and the scale of circuits has increased. For this reason, a dual-port memory occupying a large-area chip in a system LSI that requires a large-capacity memory is disadvantageous in terms of cost. Therefore, in order to reduce the chip area, it may be suggested to use a single-port memory. However, based on the timing of multiple control device accesses, access...
