Memory control apparatus, method and program

摘要

The present invention provides a memory control apparatus capable of efficiently reducing power consumption. The memory control apparatus controls power consumption for refreshing on a unit region-by-unit region basis. A determination section 22 receives an allocate request from an application and determines whether or not data requires refreshing based on the allocate request. Next, a memory allocating section 23 allocates a memory region within a first memory bank to data having been determined to require refreshing and allocates amemory region within a second memory bank to data having been determined to require no refreshing. A memory control section 25 specifies the first memory bank as a refresh region for refreshing and specifies the second memory region as a non-refresh region which is prevented from being refreshed.
