摘要： An information processing apparatus includes a plurality of processor boards arranged parallelly on the main board and the DC--DC converters for generating operation voltages for processor devices each disposed between the adjacent processor boards. Further, a metal plate with high thermal conductivity is placed in close contact with an area of each of the processor boards where devices generating a large amount of heat are mounted. Heat dissipating fins are joined to the surface of each of the metal plates so that when the processor boards are mounted on the main board, the heat dissipating fins do not contact the DC--DC converter. The heat dissipating fins and the DC--DC converters are arranged so that they are vertically disposed one over the other with respect to the main board.

摘要： A control method and system when a flash memory is used as a semiconductor disk or a main memory in an information processing system. A semiconductor file system comprises a first nonvolatile memory electrically erasable, a second nonvolatile memory not electrically erasable, a volatile memory, a controller which controls the memories, and a control section which controls the controller wherein a physical address corresponding to a logical address specified from an external system is accessed. The first nonvolatile memory stores data for the external system to perform operations, first management information indicating the correspondence between physical addresses at which the data is stored and logical addresses, and second management information indicating a state of the first nonvolatile memory. The second nonvolatile memory previously stores interface information required for inputting and outputting the data from and to the external system and read-only data of the data. The controller has a control means for determining a physical sector address forming predetermined high-order bits of the physical address when data is output from the first nonvolatile memory or when data is input to the volatile memory, means for storing the determined physical sector address, and means for consecutively generating addresses in a sector determined by the physical sector address.

The controller comprises control means for determining a physical sector address forming predetermined high-order bits of the physical address when data is output from the first nonvolatile memory or when data is input to the volatile memory, means for storing the determined physical sector address, and means for consecutively generating addresses in a sector determined by the physical sector address. The control section is responsive to the interface information, the first management information, and the second management information for controlling input/output of data from/to the external system and for temporarily storing write data into the first nonvolatile memory from the external system in the volatile memory and then transferring the write data from the volatile memory to the first nonvolatile memory. The consecutive address generation means and the sector address storage means output the physical sector address and the consecutively generated addresses to the first nonvolatile memory and the volatile memory when data at the physical sector address is output from the first nonvolatile memory or when data at the physical sector address is input to the volatile memory.
