Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Design a mini project that simulates an environment where multiple devices send interrupts to the CPU, illustrating how the system handles context saving and restoring.
💡 Hint: Use a programming language to implement this simulation and visualize interrupt handling.
Evaluate how different programmer strategies can influence the effective management of interrupts in real-time systems.
💡 Hint: Consider real-time application needs and their critical coding practices for interrupts.
