Abstract

A newer generation game terminal according to one embodiment of the present invention is provided with a storage access control unit. The storage access control unit accesses a newer generation storage according to a request for access from an application designed to execute a synchronization process based on the assumption of a speed of access to an older generation storage. The storage access control unit estimates time required to access the older generation storage in accordance with an evaluation function for calculating the required time. The storage access control unit executes an adjustment process to fill a time gap between the time required to access the newer generation storage and time estimated to be required to access the older generation storage.
