Interrupts can lead to because of the asynchronous nature of their operation.
One advantage of Polling is that it is easier to implement for simple devices.
An incorrect handling of interrupts can result in a or data corruption.
Thread
Polling is a method where the periodically checks a device to see if it needs attention.
Interrupts are essential for handling time-sensitive tasks and real-time .
Worst-case scenario in interrupt handling can lead to in the system.
Interrupts provide a more efficient way for devices to gain the processor's attention compared to .
Deadlock
What is the main difference between polling and interrupts?
Interrupt Vector
Interrupt Request (IRQ)
Polling can result in higher CPU utilization compared to Interrupts, which can lead to issues.
Overall, the choice between Polling and Interrupts depends on the specific requirements of the system and the nature of the being used.
Race condition
Concurrency
Handling interrupts requires the use of specialized hardware called an .
In Polling, the processor wastes CPU cycles by repeatedly checking the status of the device, whereas in interrupts, the processor can perform other tasks until an occurs.
Polling can lead to higher in responding to devices compared to interrupts.
