Claim 6:
7. A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon a program that, when executed by an apparatus, causes the apparatus to perform a method, the method comprising:
causing a main processor of the apparatus to issue an access request to access a file stored in a secondary storage,
wherein the access request is received at the main processor from an application program;
causing a sub-processor of the apparatus, that is coupled with the main processor via a bus, to:
receive the access request,
divide the access request into a plurality of secondary access requests,
issue the secondary access requests to access data blocks formed by dividing the file, and
notify the main processor of a completion of a read out when all the data blocks are read out and made accessible; and

causing a controller of the apparatus to:
accept the secondary access requests from the sub-processor,
read the data blocks individually by parallelly processing the secondary access requests using a plurality of channels coupled with the secondary storage, and
notify the sub-processor every time each of the data blocks is read out,

wherein the sub-processor has lower computational capability than the main processor.
