laitteistokutsut
Laitteistokutsut, often translated as hardware invitations or hardware calls, refer to a communication method within certain computer systems where hardware components can directly request the attention of the processor. This is a fundamental mechanism for managing interrupts and handling asynchronous events generated by peripheral devices.
When a hardware device, such as a network card, a disk controller, or a timer, needs to
This identification process involves a lookup mechanism, often using an interrupt vector table. Each interrupt request
Once the ISR has completed its task, it typically signals the interrupt controller that the interrupt has
