Abstract

A request control apparatus and a request control method are configured such that when an A type request that is an overtaking acceptable request allowed to overtake and to be overtaken among the other requests is turned to a retry matter on a pipeline, a request-order control unit performs an information renewal such that the A type request is rearranged to a place immediately preceding a B type request that is an overtaking inhibited request inhibited to overtake or to be overtaken among the other requests, and a request fetching unit fetches requests from ports by using the information renewed by the request-order control unit. Moreover, the request-order control unit is configured to perform request order control per request source.
