A processor having a plurality of hardware resources can perform separate controls within a proper range according to the dependent relations of hardware resources troubled. In case a notification is made of the failure of the hardware resources constituting the processor, a processor control method decides the range of the hardware resources, which cannot be used because of that failure, as a failure range, on the basis of the dependencies of the individual hardware resources predetermined, and stops the use of the hardware resources of the failure range on the basis of that decision result. When the use of the hardware resources indicated by the failure range is stopped, the hardware is not stopped before a predetermined operation is performed not to affect the instruction processing procedure outside of the failure range. |
