How CPU handles Interrupt Handling

Answer Posted / chris

Interrupts can occur at any time as a result it can even
occur at the middle of a process. In the CPU, there is a
register called the interrupt register, information stored
stored in the register, coupled with the information stored
in the enable/disable makes or prompts the CPU to do its
specified tasks.
The CPU must remember the last operation it was doing
before the interrupt came about therefore, the former
processing has to be stored in a location.

There are numerous ways of which the CPU can handle
interrupts but one of the techniques is the Vectored
interrupt techniques.
