A system and method for improving the performance of a central processing unit (CPU), in which the system includes a first master such as a CPU, a first local bus connected to a memory device, a bridge, and a main bus connected to a second master and a peripheral device. The bridge is connected among the first master, the memory device, and the main bus and functions as a wrapper and also serves to decode an address output from the first master, monitor a status of ownership of the main bus, and output a wait signal to the first master based on a decoding result and a monitoring result. Accordingly, even while the second master is accessing the peripheral device via the main bus, the first master can access the memory device via the first local bus. The memory device includes a memory core storing predetermined data and a controller having an arbitration function.
