MEMORY CONTROL APPARATUS, MEMORY SYSTEM, INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM, AND MEMORY CONTROL METHOD
First Claim
1. A memory control apparatus, comprising:
- a temperature obtaining unit configured to obtain, in a memory having a plurality of measurement areas each including a plurality of unit areas, temperatures measured in the plurality of measurement areas;
a priority determination unit configured to determine a priority for each unit area in accordance with a degree of consumption and the temperature of the measurement area including the unit areas, the degree of consumption being a degree of consumption of the unit area which is caused by a write process performed; and
a write processing unit configured to preferentially perform the write process with respect to the unit area having a higher priority as a data write destination.

Abstract
A memory control apparatus includes a temperature obtaining unit, a priority determination unit, and a write processing unit. The temperature obtaining unit is configured to obtain, in a memory having a plurality of measurement areas each including a plurality of unit areas, temperatures measured in the plurality of measurement areas. The priority determination unit is configured to determine a priority for each unit area in accordance with a degree of consumption and the temperature of the measurement area including the unit areas, the degree of consumption being a degree of consumption of the unit area which is caused by a write process performed. The write processing unit is configured to preferentially perform the write process with respect to the unit area having a higher priority as a data write destination.
