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.

Processor apparatus and multithread processor apparatus

A multiprocessing apparatus includes a cache control unit which monitors a local cache access signal, outputted from a processor, for notifying an occurrence of a cache miss, and notifies pseudo information to the processor via a shared bus controller, the pseudo information indicating that data corresponding to the local cache access signal is stored in a cache memory of a local cache that includes the cache control unit when the data corresponding to the local cache access signal is not actually stored in the cache memory.
