 | | Interrupt Requests (irqs) | | by TechDoc, Sep 29, 2008 | | Interrupt Requesting (IRQ) is a computer system performance enhancing technology that plays a key role in how the CPU performs input/output processing and interfaces with every peripheral in the computer, from the keyboard and mouse to the hard disk and modem. It is through IRQ prioritization that the CPU juggles multiple concurrent tasks thereby giving the impression that it is doing many things at once. | | Comments(0) Liked It: 6 |
