The present invention relates to an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, and a program capable of simplifying an interrupt processing and reducing a time necessary to the interrupt processing. An interrupt generation unitgenerates an interrupt signal. An interrupt status holding unitstores an interrupt status showing a cause of generation of the interrupt signal. An interrupt status supply unitsupplies an interrupt status stored by an interrupt status holding unit to a RAM and causes the RAM to store it. A CPU executes a predetermined processing in response to the interrupt status stored to the RAM. The present invention can be applied to, for example, a network card.

Information processing apparatus, information processing method, and program

Disclosed herein is an information processing apparatus that transfers information, using direct memory access (DMA), between a first storage section in an information processing system and a second storage section in an information transfer system. The information processing system includes the first storage section for storing the information, and a control section. The information transfer system includes: the second storage section for storing descriptor information indicating the location at which the information is stored in the first storage section and the size of the information; and a DMA transfer section for DMA transferring the information between the first storage section and the second storage section based on the descriptor information. The DMA transfer section DMA transfers the descriptor information concerning the DMA transferred information from the second storage section to the first storage section. The control section loads the descriptor information from the first storage section.

Systems and methods for effecting DMA data transfers

The present invention relates to an information processing apparatus, an information processing method and a program for simplifying an interrupt process to reduce time needed for the interrupt process. If it is determined in step Sthat a network card pointer and a CPU clear pointer fail to match each other, i.e., that there is a packet area corresponding to a packet used in an executed DMA transfer process and having not undergone a DMA transfer complete process, processing proceeds to step S. An interrupt generator sets a completion status as an interrupt status and proceeds to step S. In step S, the interrupt generator generates an interrupt signal. If it is determined in step Sthat there is not a packet area corresponding to a packet used in an executed DMA transfer process and having not undergone a DMA transfer complete process, processing proceeds to step S. The interrupt generator clears the completion status. The present invention is applicable to a network card, for example.
