What is a vectored interrupt?
Think of it as a map for the CPU to find the right code.
What is the purpose of an interrupt vector table?
It's like a phone book for the CPU.
What is the main benefit of using vectored interrupts?
Think about how navigation changes with clear directions.
True or False: Vectored interrupts can save processing cycles.
Consider how shortcuts save time.
How would implementing vectored interrupts affect the performance of a real-time application that previously relied on non-vectored interrupts? Discuss in terms of speed and task management.
Think about how critical time-sensitive tasks need instantaneous access.
Design a simple system that uses vectored interrupts. Describe how you would structure the interrupt vector table and handle multiple interrupt sources within it.
Consider how organized a system needs to be to handle many inputs smoothly.
