Overview
- This book describes how the interrupts are handled in several operating systems
- All operating systems are based on interrupts which are very important to understand how they help control the functional behavior of operating systems
- It is also relevant to mention that we are including not only general purpose operating systems but also real-time operating systems. In this type of operating systems, interrupts are more important because they help to control temporal predictability, scheduling and interferences from tasks and interrupts
- No such research study has been done before for comparing and analyzing the interrupt handling schemes in operating systems

About this book
In this book, the interrupt handling models used by several operating systems are introduced and compared.
We begin with an analysis of the classical interrupt management model used by Unix, followed by the schemes used by modern networked environments.
We highlight the key challenges of each of these models and how these have been solved by modern operating systems and the research community. Then we analyze the architectures used for general purpose and embedded real-time operating systems.
