Abstract

PURPOSE:To accelerate an information processor by delivering data read and held by a read command at the last time when it is the read command to a host device as read data. CONSTITUTION:When the command is the read command, a storage control part 22 delivers the data stored and held at a storage part 23 to a central processing unit 10 as the read data. Simultaneously, a read operation is started from a magnetic tape device 30, and read data is written on the storage part 23 by the storage control part 22, then, it is held. Bi-sected parts in the storage part 23 are used alternately by the switching function of the storage control part 22, and the superposition of a part to read out the data to be delivered to the central processing unit 10 and the part where the data read from the magnetic tape device is stored and held can be prevented from being generated. Also, stored and held read data goes to the data of the next read command to be delivered to the central processing unit 10. In such a way, it is possible to eliminate a defect that no read operation can be performed until the travel of a magnetic tape on the magnetic tape device connected to a low-order device arrives at constant speed.
