Abstract
A data transmission system in which data read out of a first memory is transmitted to a second memory, includes a data buffer for temporarily storing data to be transmitted from the second memory, an identifying module for identifying a maximum permissible transmission unit defined by a bus/address boundary rule for addresses of the second memory, a deciding module for deciding a transmission unit of data to be transmitted to the second memory based on an amount of data which should be transmitted but has not yet been transmitted and the maximum permissible transmission unit identified by the identifying module, a storing control module for reading data for the transmission unit decided by the deciding module out of the first memory starting from data stored at an identified address of the first memory, in accordance with the bus/address boundary rule for the address of the first memory, and for storing the data in the data buffer, and a transmission control module for transmitting a batch of data stored in the data buffer to the second memory.
