Data Processing(DP) is specified as the conversion of raw data( or unprocessed data) into a meaningful result(processed knowledge) known as information. In order to produce the meaningful information(output) the data(input) must be collected and organized and some operation or processing must be applied on it.

Interrupts

Interrupt can be termed as signal send by the hardware to processor. The signal tells that hardware is ready. When an interrupt signal comes, the processor stops or suspend what it is doing and give attention to the signal. Processor is the central unit of a computer. Computer consist number of devices, input/output devices. Every devices are controlled and monitored by CPU. This is done by checking the status of every devices attached.
