Information processing apparatus, information processing method, and program

An information processing apparatus for generating an interrupt signal comprising:

• generation means for generating the interrupt signal;
• memory means for storing a status indicating a cause for generating the interrupt signal;
• and
• memory control means for causing another information processing apparatus to store the status stored by the memory means, so that the other information processing apparatus executes predetermined processing in response to the status,
• wherein the memory means further stores determination information for determining whether or not the status stored at the other information processing apparatus is synchronized with the status stored at the memory means.

An information processing method performed by an information processing apparatus for generating an interrupt signal, the apparatus comprising a memory means for storing a status indicating a cause for generating the interrupt signal, the method comprising:

• a generation step of generating the interrupt signal;
• a first memory control step for causing the memory means to store the status of the interrupt signal generated by the generation step;
• and
• a second memory control step for causing another information processing apparatus to store the status stored by the memory means, so that the other information processing apparatus executes predetermined processing in response to the status,
• wherein the memory means includes a first memory region of determination information for determining whether or not a first status stored at the other information processing apparatus is synchronized with a second status stored by the memory means.

A computer readable non-transitory recording medium having executable instructions stored thereon, the executable instructions causing a computer to perform a plurality of steps, the computer being configured for controlling an information processing apparatus comprising a memory means for storing a status indicating a cause for generating an interrupt signal, the plurality of steps comprising:

• a generation step of generating the interrupt signal;
• a first memory control step for causing the memory means to store the status of the interrupt signal generated by the generation step;
• and
• a second memory control step for causing another information processing apparatus to store the status stored by the memory means, so that the other information processing apparatus executes predetermined processing in response to the status,
• wherein the memory means includes a first memory region of determination information for determining whether or not a first status stored at the other information processing apparatus is synchronized with a second status stored at the memory means.

An information processing apparatus for executing predetermined processing in response to a status indicating a cause for generating an interrupt signal generated by another information processing apparatus, the apparatus for executing the predetermined processing comprising:

• memory means for storing the status of the interrupt signal supplied from the other information processing apparatus;
• and
• execution means for executing the predetermined processing in response to the status stored by the memory means,
• wherein the memory means obtains, from the other information processing apparatus, information for determining whether or not the status stored at the memory means is synchronized with the status stored at the other information processing apparatus.

An information processing method performed by an information processing apparatus for executing predetermined processing in response to a status indicating a cause for generating an interrupt signal generated by another information processing apparatus, the method comprising:

• a memory control step of causing the status of the interrupt signal supplied from the other information processing apparatus to be stored in a memory means;
• and
• an execution step of executing the predetermined processing in response to the status stored in the memory control step,
• wherein the other information processing apparatus includes a first memory region of determination information for determining whether or not a first status stored at the memory means is synchronized with a second status stored at the other information processing apparatus.

A computer readable non-transitory recording medium having executable instructions stored thereon, the executable instructions causing a computer to execute predetermined processing in response to a status showing a cause for generating an interrupt signal generated by another information processing apparatus, and causing the computer to perform a plurality of steps comprising:

• a memory control step of causing the status of the interrupt signal supplied from the other information processing apparatus to be stored in a memory means;
• and
• an execution step of executing the predetermined processing in response to the status stored by the processing at the memory control step;
• wherein the other information processing apparatus comprises determination information for determining whether or not a first status stored at the memory means is synchronized with a second status stored at the other information processing apparatus.
