A command processing apparatus that processes a plurality of commands which are issued independently from a first master and a second master is provided. The command processing apparatus sequentially issues commands to a storage apparatus including a plurality of banks. The first master issues a first command and a second command in order to the command processing apparatus, with the first command being a command to request access to a first bank and the second command being a command to request access to a second bank different from the first bank. When the second master issues a third command to the command processing apparatus during an interval between issuance of the first command and the second command, the command processing apparatus issues the second command to the storage apparatus consecutively after the first command by prioritizing the second command over the third command.

Command processing apparatus, method and integrated circuit apparatus

A command processing apparatus and method are provided for optimally processing commands issued asynchronously from a plurality of masters to a storage apparatus including a plurality of banks, where each master issues commands for a bankand a bankalternately. The command processing apparatus includes buffer units that obtain commands issued from the plurality of masters, an arbitration unit that arbitrates the obtained commands, and an issuance unit that issues commands to the storage apparatus according to the arbitration. The arbitration unit reads the commands of the plurality of masters obtained in the buffer units, and selects one command as a result of arbitration. The arbitration unit waits until a next command of a master relating to the selected command becomes readable, and reads the next command. The issuance unit consecutively issues the selected command and the read command to the storage apparatus.

In a device, in which a master that requires access at a predetermined rate and a processor that requires responsiveness to an access request access a shared memory, responsiveness to the access request of the processor is improved while the access of the master at the predetermined rate is guaranteed, compared to conventional technologies. When the master has a resource available for accessing the shared memory, the master accesses the shared memory at the predetermined rate or above. When the access is executed at the predetermined rate or above, the processor accesses the shared memory by using a resource that was originally allocated to the master.

Access control device, access control integrated circuit, and access control method

The information processing device in the present invention includes a memorywhich is a DRAM featuring a burst mode, and burst-transfers data at successive column addresses, masters (), (), and () which issue access requests, and a command processing unit () which converts an access address that is included in the access request issued from each master. One or more of the masters access an M&#xd7;N rectangular area where M and N are integers, and the command processing unit () converts access addresses so that a column address of data at the (K+m)th column, where K and m are integers and m&#x2266;M, of an Lth line, and a column address of data at a Kth column of an (L+n)th line, where L and n are integers and n&#x2266;N, become successive.
