Abstract:
According to one embodiment, a memory controller includes a nonvolatile cache memory and a controller. The nonvolatile cache memory is configured to store a piece of data stored in a nonvolatile main memory connected to the memory controller. The controller is configured to control writing of data to the nonvolatile cache memory. The memory controller is connected to a processor via an interconnect that ensures a protocol indicating a procedure for preventing data inconsistency in a plurality of cache memories. The controller causes, after detecting that the processor has updated data corresponding to any area of the nonvolatile main memory using the protocol, the updated data to be transmitted to the memory controller and writes the updated data to the nonvolatile cache memory.

Claim (Index 4):
The memory controller according to  claim 2 , wherein the controller, after receiving the second request, does not invalidate the cache line corresponding to the area but transmits a second response message for informing that the cache line corresponding to the area has been invalidated as a response to the second request, transmits a third request for requesting the data corresponding to the area after transmitting the second response message, receives the data updated by the processor as a response to the third request, and writes the received updated data to the nonvolatile cache memory.
