Interrupt Handling Methods

  • Multiple Interrupt Lines: The simplest technique is to use a large number of interrupt lines (Multiple Interrupt Lines) between the CPU module and I / O.
  • Software Poll: The process, if the CPU is aware of an interrupt, the CPU will go to service interruption, perform functions poll the entire I / O module to determine the module interrupt, The disadvantage is the need of time because they have to identify all the modules to determine the I / O module that implements interrupt.
 


  • Daisy Chain: A daisy chain more efficient, which uses hardware poll. The entire I / O module is connected to CPU interrupt channel chain. If there is an interrupt request, the CPU will run acknowledge signals running on the interrupt line to find the I / O module that sends an interrupt. 
  • Bus arbitration: In this method, first, the module I / O gain control of the bus before the module uses an interrupt request channel. Thus there is only an I / O module can interrupt.

Concepts and Module I / O

Definition I/O: A part of computer structure, function as a gateway for the CPU to interact with their environment.

Definition Modul I/O: A hardware interface for the system bus or central switch and control one or more peripheral devices and these devices contain logic to perform the functions of communication between peripherals and computer bus.

Definition Peripheral: A device that's connected to a host computer that interacts with the CPU via the Module I/O.
