Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Imagine a system where multiple devices can send interrupts to a CPU simultaneously. Describe how the CPU can manage these interrupts effectively.

💡 Hint: Consider how multiple inputs can affect processing and how the system keeps track of which interrupts to service.

Question 2

Create a flowchart that outlines the steps a CPU takes from the moment an interrupt occurs to resuming normal execution.

💡 Hint: Visual representations can help clarify the flow of control through different phases.
