In digital computers, an interrupt (sometimes referred to as a trap) is a request for the processor to interrupt currently executing code (when permitted)...

programming, an interrupt handler, also known as an interrupt service routine or ISR, is a special block of code associated with a specific interrupt condition...

Interrupt coalescing, also known as interrupt moderation, is a technique in which events which would normally trigger a hardware interrupt are held back...

instruction for x86 processors that generates a software interrupt. It takes the interrupt number formatted as a byte value. When written in assembly...

up interruption in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. Interruption may refer to: Interruption (speech), a speech event when one person breaks in to interject...

In a computer, an interrupt request (or IRQ) is a hardware signal sent to the processor that temporarily stops a running program and allows a special...

Look up interrupter in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. An interrupter is a device used to interrupt the flow of a steady direct electrical current. Interrupter...

A raster interrupt (also called a horizontal blank interrupt) is an interrupt signal in a legacy computer system which is used for display timing. It is...

computing, a programmable interrupt controller (PIC) is an integrated circuit that helps a microprocessor (or CPU) handle interrupt requests (IRQs) coming...

This is in contrast to a polled interrupt system, in which a single interrupt service routine must determine the source of the interrupt by checking all potential...

generally do not use the BIOS interrupt calls to support system functions, although they use the BIOS interrupt calls to probe and initialize hardware...

generates signals that are sent to an interrupt controller. The interrupt controller sends an interrupt request (or IRQ) to the CPU with a certain priority...

An interrupter in electrical engineering is a device used to interrupt the flow of a steady direct current for the purpose of converting a steady current...

in a table of interrupt vectors. Each entry of the interrupt vector table, called an interrupt vector, is the address of an interrupt handler (also known...

after the interrupt is serviced. A software interrupt is a message to a process that an event has occurred. This contrasts with a hardware interrupt — which...

The simple interrupted stitch is a suturing technique used to close wounds. It is the most commonly used technique in the closure of skin. It is known...

The Interrupt flag (IF) is a flag bit in the CPU's FLAGS register, which determines whether or not the (CPU) will respond immediately to maskable hardware...

computing, interrupt latency refers to the delay between the start of an Interrupt Request (IRQ) and the start of the respective Interrupt Service Routine...

non-maskable interrupt (NMI) is a hardware interrupt that standard interrupt-masking techniques in the system cannot ignore. It typically occurs to signal attention...

pin-based out-of-band interrupt signalling, such as improved interrupt handling performance. This is in contrast to traditional interrupt mechanisms, such...
