- Polled I/O has its drawbacks, specifically, it takes precious time away from the processor to simply check a status flag. This hurts performance. In this lesson, we present the theory behind processor interrupts and show how they overcome this major drawback of polled I/O.
Takeaways: At the completion of this lesson, each student should be able to:
• explain the general operation of a processor interrupt,
• explain how interrupts improve performance over polled I/O,
• define interrupt service routines, and
• describe how the state of a processor task is saved before servicing an interrupt.

You're an amazing teacher. Thank you, sir.
Amazing lesson!! Best video on this topic ever posted. How long did it take you to learn to write backwards?
