Abstract

A cache memory has a data cache to store data per cache line, a tag to store address information of the data to be stored in the data cache, a cache controller to determine whether an address by an access request of a processor meets the address information stored in the tag and to control access to the data cache and the tag, and a write period controller to control a period required for writing data in the data cache based on at least one of an occurrence frequency of read errors to data stored in the data cache and a degree of reduction in performance of the processor due to delay in reading the data stored in the data cache.
