1. A computing technique where a process or thread suspends execution and waits for an interrupt signal from hardware or another process before resuming, rather than continuously polling for a condition.
The system uses interrupt-driven wait to minimize CPU usage while waiting for disk I/O operations.
O sistema usa espera orientada por interrupção para minimizar o uso de CPU enquanto aguarda operações de I/O de disco.
2. A synchronization mechanism in operating systems and real-time systems where a task enters a wait state and is awakened only when a specific interrupt event occurs.
Interrupt-driven wait is more efficient than busy-waiting in embedded systems.
A espera orientada por interrupção é mais eficiente do que a espera ativa em sistemas embarcados.
