Abstract

A semiconductor device includes a core which includes a first cache and a second cache; and a third cache configured to connect to the core, wherein the core is configured to: hold a read instruction that is issued from the first cache to the second cache, hold a write-back instruction that is issued from the first cache to the second cache, process the read instruction and the write-back instruction, determine whether a target address of the read instruction is held by the first cache by using a cache tag that indicates a state of the first cache, and when data of the target address is held by the first cache, abort the read instruction until it is determined that data of the target address is not held by the first cache.
