If there is an interrupt present then it will trigger the interrupt handler, the handler will stop the present instruction which is processing and save its configuration in a register and load the ...

This paper will discuss design practices and guidelines that will maximize the efficiency of interrupts and interrupt handling in an embedded system IC. These practices can result in a smaller code ...

For most UNIX systems, Linux included, device drivers typically divide the work of processing interrupts into two parts or halves. The first part, the top half, is the familiar interrupt handler, ...

Normal execution of a given software application is contained within the bounds of one program, or instruction stream. Such execution is provable, as well as traceable. However, system designers and ...

As Arm-based infrastructure continues to scale across markets, demands on system components increase. This can mean more interrupts, or signals from hardware/software to a processor to pause a task ...

In a System-on Chip(SoC),a general interrupt process works as follows: Interrupt is triggered by a certain system event or interrupt source. Interrupt is detected by system’s peripheral module, which ...
