An optional array in a memory includes an array having blocks each including an address word and a data word, and a boundary that is a position where a ratio between the numbers of unwritten blocks in M area and written blocks in W area is an integer ratio. The controlling process includes when a second write for writing a special value in a written block in the second area is invoked, executing a shrink process of shifting the boundary to shrink the first area; in a case where the first adjacent block at the boundary is a written block, storing an address of the first adjacent block and of a first link destination block forming a link with the write destination block in address words of the first link destination block and of the first adjacent block respectively to form a link.
