A multiport semiconductor memory device includes; first and second port units respectively coupled to first and second processors, first and second dedicated memory area accessed by first and second processors, respectively and implemented using DRAM cells, a shared memory area commonly accessed by the first and second processors via respective first and second port units and implemented using memory cells different from the DRAM cells implementing the first and second dedicated memory areas, and a port connection control unit controlling data path configuration between the shared memory area and the first and second port units to enable data communication between the first and second processors through the shared memory area.
