Interrupt |
A temporary suspension of a process.There are two main sources of interrupts: a signal from outside the computer, such a someone touching the keyboard or mouse (a hardware interrupt); or a machine instruction such as a request for input or output (a software interrupt).When an interrupt occurs, the CPU may temporarily gives control to an interrupt handler routine.The suspended process is resumed after the interrupt has been handled.
