An aluminum alloy connector which is excellent in extrusion property and sacrificial anode property, the connector being extruded in a hollow shape from an aluminum alloy extrusion material consisting of 0.2 to 0.8% (hereinafter, '%' means 'mass %') of Si, 0.45 to 0.9% of Mg, 1.0 to 3.5% of Zn, 0.001 to 0.2% of Ti and the balance of Al plus unavoidable impurities. An electric potential of said aluminum alloy extrusion connector is lower than an electric potential of a pipe member made of an Al&#x2014;Mg&#x2014;Si series alloy or an Al&#x2014;Mn series alloy which is to be swaged to the connector, by 100 mV or more.

A semiconductor device includes a plurality of memory cells connected to a word line, sense amplifiers arranged correspondingly to the memory cells, and a sense-amplifier control circuit that activates the sense amplifiers in response to selection of the word line and temporarily reduces driving performance of the sense amplifiers in response to a request for writing of data to any one of the memory cells. With this configuration, inverted data can be quickly overwritten to the sense amplifier. Furthermore, because a collective control is executed on the sense amplifiers to be activated, instead of individually controlling the sense amplifiers to be activated, the circuit scale of the sense-amplifier control circuit can be reduced.

Resources possessed by a computer are registered in a resource table. A resource supply judging portion, in answer to a resource utilization request generated in its own computer or the computer in the preceding stage, judges whether or not it is possible to supply the resource from its own computer by reference to the resource table. When the resource is judged suppliable in the judgment, a resource supplier brings the corresponding resource into a utilizable state. A utilization request transmitter, when the resource was judged unsuppliable, transmits the resource utilization request to the computer in the following stage and, at the same time, sets up a resource supply path. With the described arrangement, utilization of a resource of another computer is made possible without having resources managed by a plurality of computers in a centralized manner. Further, dependence of an executed application program on the resource status is lowered and adaptability thereof to a change in the resource status is improved.
