4 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What is an interrupt in a computing context?
Think about what happens when you receive a notification on your device.
What does the Program Counter (PC) do?
Consider where the CPU looks next in the instruction queue.
What happens to the Program Counter when an interrupt occurs?
Remember what the PC is used for in managing instruction flow.
True or False: The Instruction Cycle Code (ICC) indicates whether the CPU is currently processing an interrupt.
Think about the different phases we've discussed.
Consider a computer running multiple applications. Describe a scenario where a low-priority interrupt might delay a high-priority task. Discuss how this can be handled.
Think about how chip designs might prioritize interrupt signals during high-load applications.
Imagine a scenario with a CPU handling interrupts with different priorities without a defined scheme for managing them. Discuss the potential issues that could arise.
Consider how chaotic traffic management might be without a traffic control system.
