Interactive Quizzes

Engage in quick quizzes to reinforce what you've learned and check your comprehension.

Question 1

What is the purpose of an interrupt?

  • To ignore peripheral signals
  • To allow immediate CPU response to urgent tasks
  • To create new software commands

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about what happens when a hardware signal requests CPU's immediate attention.

Question 2

True or False: Non-maskable interrupts can be ignored by the CPU.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider the name 'non-maskable'.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Assess the impact of interrupt prioritization in a system with various I/O operations and how it affects real-time performance.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider how prioritizing tasks affects system responsiveness.

Question 2

Design an efficient ISR for a hardware interrupt triggered by an external sensor that requires fast processing without causing significant CPU latency.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about what the ISR needs to accomplish versus what can wait.
