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...

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

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...

In computing, keyboard interrupt may refer to: A special case of signal (computing), a condition (often implemented as an exception) usually generated...

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...

(ELCB) also exists. These electrical wiring devices are designed to quickly interrupt the protected circuit when it detects that the electric current is...

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

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...

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

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...

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...

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

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...

An end of interrupt (EOI) is a computing signal sent to a programmable interrupt controller (PIC) to indicate the completion of interrupt processing for...

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...

The interrupt descriptor table (IDT) is a data structure used by the x86 architecture to implement an interrupt vector table. The IDT is used by the processor...
