What is interrupt driven I/O?
Think about how it differs from programmed I/O.
What does busy waiting refer to?
Consider what happens during programmed I/O.
What is the main advantage of interrupt driven I/O over programmed I/O?
Consider the operational differences between the two I/O methods.
True or False: The CPU can process interrupts at any time during instruction execution.
Reflect on how the CPU handles instruction cycles.
Imagine a system handling multiple I/O interrupts. Design a flowchart outlining how the CPU should handle these, ensuring minimal latency and prioritization.
Think about how you would manage tasks if each were given a level of importance.
Explore the consequences of not implementing context switching correctly in an interrupt driven I/O system.
Consider how important it is to remember where you have left off in your tasks.
