Abstract

A processor includes: a primary cache memory; an instruction control unit that issues a store request to the primary cache memory; a pipeline processing unit that, upon receiving the store request, writes data to the primary cache memory; a buffer unit that obtains an address output to the primary cache memory from the pipeline processing unit during an output period of the store request regarding certain data to hold the obtained address in an entry, and when the output period ends, issues a write-back request for writing the data indicated by the address held in the entry to a memory; and a secondary cache memory that, upon receiving the write-back request from the buffer unit, writes the data of the primary cache memory to the memory, the certain data is quickly written back to the memory from the primary cache memory.
