Abstract

A processor. In response to requests from a processing section, first and second memory controllers transfer first and second data items to the processing section via first and second buses, respectively. When transfers of the data items are concurrently performed via the first and second buses, one of the data items is transferred to the processing section by the buffer controller, and the other of the data items is stored in the buffer by the buffer controller. Then, after termination of transfer of the one of the data items, the other data item is transferred from the buffer to the processing section by the buffer controller.
