Which interrupts are generally used for critical events?
Answer Posted / Ritu Raj Kumar
In computing, hardware interrupts that are typically associated with critical events are NMI (Non-Maskable Interrupt) and INTX (Interrupt Enable/Disable). The NMI interrupt is a high-priority interrupt that cannot be masked or disabled by software and is often used for handling system failures or severe errors. The INTX interrupt allows software to temporarily disable interrupts, which can prevent multiple interrupts from causing unwanted interruptions during critical program execution.
