An event processing method of a processor that transitions from an execution status, in which an instruction is being executed or requested to be executed, by an event wait instruction specifying a wait event, and transitions from the wait status to the execution status by an occurrence of the wait event, the method comprising:
detecting an event input, which notifies an occurrence of an event;
detecting the wait event by the event input;
changing a status from the execution status to the wait status and outputs a count start signal by the event wait instruction, and changes a status from the wait status to the execution status and outputs a count end signal by the detection of the wait event;
incrementing a counter value from an initial value by output of the count start signal, and ends counting by output of the count end signal; and
receiving in and storing the count value by output of the count end signal.
