When a processor receives a CPU interrupt, it immediately pauses what it's doing and responds to the signal.
Interrupts are crucial in computer systems as they allow the processor to temporarily halt its current task and respond to a higher-priority task. This enables the computer to handle multiple tasks simultaneously and efficiently. An example of an interrupt is a keyboard interrupt, which occurs when a user presses a key on the keyboard, causing the processor to temporarily stop its current task and respond to the input.
Clock cycles on the CPU are defined.
