A memory control method includes: dividing write data for respective predetermined areas in a memory and attaching transfer IDs to generate write control data for the respective predetermined areas, and dividing read request data set for the respective predetermined areas and attaching transfer IDs to generate read control data for the respective predetermined areas; storing the write control data and the read control data in an arbitration queue; and detecting overlap access request data as a write request data set or a read request data set. The overlap access request data requests an access to an address that is at least partially overlapping an address of received write request data set or read request data set. The arbitration is executed such that the received write request data set or read request data set is processed after the overlap access request data is processed.
