| comp., MS | advanced programmable interrupt controller | controler complex de întreruperi programabile (A programmable interrupt controller (PIC) that provides multiprocessor interrupt management. An APIC incorporates both static and dynamic symmetric interrupt distribution across all processors. It usually has more available interrupt lines than a typical PIC) |
| comp., MS | interrupt service routine | rutină de serviciu pentru întreruperi (A kernel-mode interrupt that is small, very fast pieces of assembly code that map physical interrupts onto logical interrupts. ISRs are used to provide hooks back to the kernel as well as device drivers) |
| construct. | interrupting program | program intermitent |
| comp., MS | nonmaskable interrupt | întrerupere nemascabilă (A hardware interrupt that bypasses and takes priority over interrupt requests generated by software and by the keyboard and other such devices. A nonmaskable interrupt cannot be overruled (masked) by another service request and is issued to the microprocessor only in disastrous circumstances, such as severe memory errors or impending power failures) |
| comp., MS | programmable interrupt controller | dispozitiv de control întreruperi programabil (A device that functions as an overall manager in an interrupt driven system) |
| comp., MS | system management interrupt | întrerupere gestionare sistem (An interrupt generated by the host-controller-emulation hardware when a universal serial bus (USB) keyboard or mouse data is received and steered by the host controller hardware to a System Management Interrupt (SMI) or the standard host controller interrupt) |
