A cache memory of the present invention includes a second cache memory that is operated in parallel with a first cache memory, a judgment unit which, when a cache miss occurs in both of the first cache memory and the second cache memory, makes a true or false judgment relating to an attribute of data for which memory access resulted in the cache miss, and a controlling unit which stores memory data in the second cache memory when a judgment of true is made, and stores the memory data in the first cache memory when a judgment of false is made.

The cache memory in the present invention is an N-way set-associative cache memory including a control register which indicates one or more ways among N ways, a control unit which activates the way indicated by said control register, and an updating unit which updates contents of said control register. The control unit restricts at least replacement, for a way other than the active way indicated by the control register.

A processor (101) in which a plurality of arithmetic elements executing instructions are embedded includes: fixed function arithmetic elements (121 to 123) each having a circuit configuration that is not dynamically reconfigurable; a reconfigurable arithmetic element (125) having a circuit configuration that is dynamically reconfigurable; and an arithmetic operation control unit (113) which allocates instructions to the fixed function arithmetic elements (121 to 123) and the reconfigurable arithmetic element (125) and issues the allocated instructions to the respective arithmetic elements.

A cache access transmission means outputs an access address, obtained from a CPU by way of a local cache access address input means, to a shared address bus via a remote cache access address output means. A cache access control means accesses a cache memory by using the access address obtained from the shared address bus by way of a remote cache access address input means. That is, an access address output from a CPU of a first processor is output from the cache access transmission means and received by the cache access control means so as to be used in accessing a cache memory in a second processor.

A processor apparatus according to the present invention is a processor apparatus which shares hardware resources between a plurality of processors, and includes: a first determination unit which determines whether or not a register in each of the hardware resources holds extension context data of a program that is currently executed; a second determination unit which determines to which processor the extension context data in the hardware resource corresponds; a first transfer unit which saves and restores the extension context data between programs in the processor; and a second transfer unit which saves and restores the extension context data between programs between different processors.

In branch prediction in accordance with the present invention, in order to reduce the storage capacity for storing branch prediction information and simplify an information retrieval circuit while minimizing reduction in branch prediction accuracy, the position of an instruction is stored in advance and an instruction is decoded for execution, the relative position of the instruction decoded for execution is obtained on the basis of the position of the stored instruction, and when the decoded instruction is a branch instruction the result of branch by the branch instruction is recorded as history information in correspondence with the relative position of the branch instruction. After this, an instruction is pre-decoded before execution, the relative position of the pre-decoded instruction is obtained on the basis of the position of the stored instruction, when the pre-decoded instruction is a branch instruction the history information corresponding to the relative position of the pre-decoded branch instruction is referred to, and the result of the execution of the pre-decoded branch instruction is predicted by using the result of the reference to the history information.

Disclosed is a game system comprising a monitor (3) that outputs the game screen display, a touch panel (5), and an external memory device (20) that stores sequence data (28) which records the operation timing for touch operation of a touch panel (5). The game system displays an object (60) that corresponds to the operation timing and an operation reference indicator (55) that corresponds to the current time in the game and guides the player's touch operation by reducing the distance between the object (60) and the operation reference indicator (55) according to the difference between the operation timing and the current time and by moving the object (60) such that the object (60) matches the operation reference indicator (55) at the operation timing. The game system also changes the distance between the object (60) and the operation reference indicator (55) in accordance with predetermined conditions.

A gaming system is provided with a monitor for displaying and outputting a gaming screen, a touch panel superposed upon the monitor, and an external storage device for storing sequence data in which an operational period of the touch panel has been described. In addition, the gaming system displays upon the monitor a gaming area whereupon two reference units disposed apart from each other and a specific reference unit disposed in the vicinity of the reference units are set. Also, an object for instructing operations for each of the reference units is displayed while being caused to move within the gaming area, and in the case of a mis-operation of a specific object heading toward the specific reference unit, the specific object is destroyed, and the path which had been set as the object appearance area is used as the path of movement for the next object.
