Abstract
According to one embodiment, an information processor includes: a controller, a volatile storage module, a non-volatile storage module, and a reader. The volatile storage module is configured to be allocated with a storage area which can be accessed by the controller. The non-volatile storage module is configured to save data stored in the storage area of the volatile storage module at transition to a power-off state. The reader is configured to read, if a state just prior to the transition to the power-off state is to be recovered, the data stored in the non-volatile storage module by each page, and to load the read data to the storage area in the volatile storage module. The page is configured by a plurality of memory cells.

An information processor comprising:
- a controller;
- a volatile storage module configured to be allocated with a storage area which can be accessed by the controller;
- a non-volatile storage module configured to save data stored in the storage area of the volatile storage module at transition to a power-off state;
- and
- a reader configured to read, if a state just prior to the transition to the power-off state is to be recovered, the data stored in the non-volatile storage module by each page, and to load the read data to the storage area in the volatile storage module, the page being configured by a plurality of memory cells.
A memory management method for an information processor that comprises a controller, a volatile storage module configured to be allocated with a storage area which can be accessed by the controller, and a non-volatile storage module configured to save data stored in the storage area of the volatile storage module at transition to a power-off state, the memory management method comprising:
- reading, if a state just prior to the transition to the power-off state is to be recovered, the data stored in the non-volatile storage module by each page, and loading the read data to the storage area in the volatile storage module, the page being configured by a plurality of memory cells.
