METHOD FOR PROCESSING INTERRUPT AND INTERRUPT PROCESSING DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240330038 titled 'METHOD FOR PROCESSING INTERRUPT AND INTERRUPT PROCESSING DEVICE
The present disclosure introduces methods and apparatuses for interrupt processing in a computing system.
- The method involves executing a first interrupt using a common register, then receiving a second interrupt with a second priority while the first interrupt is still being processed.
- It compares the priorities of the two interrupts and generates a register index for the second interrupt based on its higher priority.
- If the register index is dedicated, it maintains the context of the first interrupt in the common register, assigns a dedicated register for the second interrupt, and executes the corresponding interrupt program using the dedicated register.
- The interrupt program is stored in memory for future use.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be applied in various computing systems where interrupt processing is crucial for efficient operation. - It can enhance the performance and responsiveness of systems that handle multiple interrupts simultaneously.
Problems Solved: - Efficient handling of interrupts with varying priorities. - Ensuring proper context maintenance during interrupt processing.
Benefits: - Improved system performance and responsiveness. - Enhanced multitasking capabilities. - Streamlined interrupt processing for better overall system efficiency.
Commercial Applications: Interrupt processing technology can be utilized in a wide range of commercial applications, including: - Embedded systems - Real-time operating systems - Networking equipment - Industrial automation systems
Questions about Interrupt Processing: 1. How does this technology improve the efficiency of interrupt handling in computing systems? 2. What are the key advantages of using dedicated registers for interrupt processing in comparison to shared registers?
Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on the latest advancements in interrupt processing technology to ensure optimal performance and efficiency in computing systems.
Original Abstract Submitted
the present disclosure provides methods and apparatuses for interrupt processing. an interrupt processing method includes executing a first interrupt by using a common register, receiving a second interrupt and a second priority of the second interrupt during execution of the first interrupt, comparing a first priority of the first interrupt with the second priority of the second interrupt, generating a first register index corresponding to the second priority of the second interrupt by using a look-up table based on the second priority of the second interrupt being greater than the first priority, and, based on the first register index being a dedicated index, maintaining a context of the first interrupt stored in the common register, assigning a dedicated register for execution of the second interrupt, and executing an interrupt program corresponding to the second interrupt by using the assigned dedicated register. the interrupt program is saved in a memory.
