A cache memory is configured by a CAM, comprising a CAM unit for storing a head pointer indicating the head address of a data block being stored, the pointer map memory for storing a series of connecting relationships between pointers indicating addresses of data constituting a block and starting from the head pointer, and pointer data memory for storing data located by an address indicated by the pointer. The capability of freely setting the connection relationship of pointers makes it possible to set a block size arbitrarily and improves the usability of a cache memory.
