incompatibility in speeds of the microcontroller and I/O devices ‚there is always a problem in data transfer between two devices .This leads to a concept called ‘Latency’. Latency is nothing but the time between the interrupt request from the I/O device and the initiation of service by the microprocessor (or) controller. This latency includes both hardware delays and software delays .The software latency is the time between the availability of new data and the software

What are the differences between an interrupt and a trap? What are their importance? According to Stallings (2012) an interrupt is “a suspension of a process‚ such as the execution of a computer program‚ caused by an event external to that process and performed in such a way that the process can be resumed” (p. 716). Stallings (2012) goes on to say that “interrupts are provided primarily as a way to improve processor utilization. For example‚ most I/O devices are much slower than the processor”

narratives around the social construction of masculinities will be also explored. Current situation As of now‚ there seems to be a deficiency when it comes to understanding the ‘how’ and ‘why’ of males at risk of suicide. According to this journal “What Interrupts Suicide Attempts in Men: Qualitative Study” not much research is being done in the aim to better understand how interventions can be tailored to men’s specific needs (Player et al.‚ 2015). Their study consisted of mainly

Question: Explain how human activities can interrupt or modify the nutrient cycles in the coniferous forest. Refer in detail to examples you have studied. Attempt to show as annotated diagrams the altered minerals nutrient cycle. Essay: The coniferous forest occurs in cold climates to the poleward side of 60 N in Eurasia and North America as well as high attitudes in more temperate latitudes and in Southern Chile. It has an average NPP of 800g/m/yr. There is usually only one layer of vegetation

turned off‚ some sort of unrecoverable error occurs‚ or a program instruction that halts the computer is encountered. To improve processing efficiency‚ the concept of interrupts is used. Virtually all computers provide a mechanism by which other modules (I/O‚ memory) may interrupt the normal processing of the processor. With interrupts‚ the processor can be engaged in executing other instructions while an I/O operation is in progress. For example‚ most external devices are much slower than the processor
