What are interrupts initiated by instructions called?
Those would be software interrupts. Interrupts initiated by the hardware would be hardware interrupts. While the socket a mouse is plugged into would use a hardware interrupt, a mouse driver would use a software interrupt.
In a multiprogramming and time-sharing environment several users share the system simultaneously This situation can result in various security problems?
Two possible security problems could be: copying another user's data; using system resources (CPU, memory, disk space) without proper accounting.
What takes advantage of the extreme speed disparity between a computer and its peripheral devices?
multiprogramming
What is the purpose of interrupts in computer systems?
Interrupts in computer systems are used to temporarily pause the current process and redirect the CPU's attention to a higher-priority task, such as handling input/output operations or responding to hardware events. This helps improve system efficiency by allowing the CPU to quickly address urgent tasks without wasting time on less critical processes.
How many interrupts are found in computers today?
24... n that is the correct answer..
