INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, METHOD FOR CONTROLLING SAME
First Claim
1. An information processing apparatus that processes data to be processed while accessing the data to be processed which is stored in a first storage unit or a second storage unit whose access speed is slower than that of the first storage unit, the information processing apparatus comprising:
- a process content determination unit configured to determine a process content;
an access number calculation unit configured to calculate the access number to the second storage unit based on the determined process content and a content of the data to be processed; and
a decision unit configured to decide to store the data to be processed in the first storage unit when the calculated access number is more than or equal to a predetermined first threshold value, and decide to store the data to be processed in the second storage unit when the calculated access number is less than the first threshold value.

Abstract
An information processing apparatus processes data to be processed while accessing data to be processed that is stored in a memory or a HDD. The information processing apparatus determines the process content and calculates the access number to the HDD based on the determined process content and the content of data to be processed. The information processing apparatus also decides to store data to be processed in the memory when the access number is more than or equal to a threshold value. The information processing apparatus decides to store data to be processed in the HDD when the access number is less than the threshold value.

6. A method for controlling an information processing apparatus that processes data to be processed while accessing the data to be processed, which is stored a first storage unit or a second storage unit having an access speed is slower than that of the first storage unit, the method comprising:
-
determining a process content, calculating the access number to the second storage unit based on the determined process content and a content of the data to be processed, and deciding to store the data to be processed in the first storage unit when the calculated access number is equal to or greater than a predetermined first threshold value, and to store the data to be processed in the second storage unit when the calculated access number is less than the first threshold value.
