What is the primary advantage of using interrupt driven I/O?
Think about CPU efficiency during data transfers.
What does an interrupt signal do?
Consider how the CPU knows when to start data transfer.
What is the key benefit of interrupt driven I/O?
Think about how the CPU interacts with I/O devices.
True or False: The CPU checks device readiness continuously in interrupt driven I/O.
Reflect on the comparison with programmed I/O.
Design a simple flowchart that describes the steps taken from the moment an interrupt is received to the completion of the interrupt service routine.
Focus on each step that must occur in sequence.
Given a scenario where multiple interrupts are received, propose a solution to prioritize these interrupts.
