Abstract
A computer has a plurality of processors with a cache memory. When a spinwait detecting unit provided to a processor detects execution of a spinwait command, it instructs monitoring of a variable value as a spinwait end condition and changes an operating state of a processor. A value change detecting unit provided to the cache memory monitors the variable value specified by the spinwait detecting unit, and when it detects that the variable value is changed, it posts the value change to the processor so as to return the operating state into its original state.
