An interrupt is a signal receieved by the processor from
hardware co-processor through one of its external address
busses/pins, or it could be a message posted by one of the
[software] processes runing in it.
Interrupt is inherently asynchronous in nature and is used
to grab the attention of the processor in a non-planned
fashion - allowing variable execution periods.
