It is possible to rapidly recover the area allocated or desired to be returned by easily recognizing a range of the area allocated or desired to be returned over the entire area of the memory by recognizing an original area of a predetermined memory chunk interrupted by a neighboring memory chunk among a series of memory chunks that make up the memory by considering an original area of the neighboring memory chunk and by recovering the predetermined memory chunk and the recognized area to their original areas, when the area allocated to or returned by an application program is interrupted.
