Abstract
A computer system which significantly improves responsiveness to a sleep request includes: a processor device switching between an execution mode and a suspension mode; and an access controlling unit accessing a functional block in response to a command request received from the processor device, wherein, in response to a sleep request signal received from the external device, the processor device responds with a sleep response signal and asserts a suspension notification signal indicating a switch to the suspension mode, and the access controlling unit: masks an input of a further command request after receiving the command request from the processor device, in the case where the processor device has outputted the command request when the access controlling unit receives the suspension notification signal; masks an input of a command request in the case where the processor device has not outputted the command request; and removes the mask when the suspension notification signal is negated.
