Information processing program, information processing device and information processing method

A method for controlling an information processing device for executing first and second programs including a main memory, a management memory, and a processor, the method comprising:

• executing, by the processor, the first program, the second program, and a management program by loading first page information, second page information and management information respectively, the first page information including first virtual addresses used by the first program stored in the management memory, the second page information including second virtual addresses used by the second program stored in the management memory, and the management information indicative of association between first and second virtual addresses and physical addresses of the main memory stored in the management memory;
• receiving a request to assign a shared area of the main memory to be shared by the first and second programs from the second program;
• determining a physical address of the shared area corresponding to one of the first virtual addresses used by the first program and one of the second virtual addresses used by the second program and storing information of association between the physical address of the shared area and the ones of the first and second virtual addresses as a part of the management information in the management memory;
• transmitting a notification of data writing into the shared area by the first program from the first program to the second program;
• locking the shared area so as to prevent the shared area from being overwritten after the notification by adding lock information into the management memory;
• and
• unlocking the shared area after the second program has read data from the shared area so as to allow either of the first and the second programs to write data into the shared memory by resetting the lock information in the management memory.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a management program for controlling an information processing device for executing first and second programs, the device including a main memory, a management memory, and a processor, the process executed by the management program comprising:

• executing the first program, the second program, and the management program by loading the first page information, the second page information and the management information respectively, the first page information including first virtual addresses used by the first program stored in the management memory, the second page information including second virtual addresses used by the second program stored in the management memory, and the management information indicative of association between first and second virtual addresses and physical addresses of the main memory stored in the management memory;
• receiving a request to assign a shared area of the main memory to be shared by the first and second programs from the second program;
• determining a physical address of the shared area corresponding to one of the first virtual addresses used by the first program and one of the second virtual addresses used by the second program and storing information of association between the physical address of the shared area and the ones of the first and second virtual addresses as a part of the management information in the management memory;
• transmitting a notification of data writing into the shared area by the first program from the first program to the second program;
• locking the shared area so as to prevent the shared area from being overwritten after the notification by adding lock information into the management memory;
• and
• unlocking the shared area after the second program has read data from the shared area so as to allow either of the first and the second programs to write data into the shared memory by resetting the lock information in the management memory.
