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 unit 140 generates an interrupt signal. An interrupt status holding unit 142 stores an interrupt status showing a cause of generation of the interrupt signal. An interrupt status supply unit 141 supplies 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.
