The memory, address bus, data buses are shared resources between the two processors. These interrupts typically are called traps or exceptions. Unplanned interrupts which are produced during the execution of some program are called exceptions, such as division by zero. A software interrupt is similar to a far call instruction, except that the flags are also pushed onto the stack before cs and ip are pushed and the tf and if flags are cleared. Difference between polling and interrupt difference between. The 8086 processor has 256 types of software interrupts. An interrupt is either a hardware generated call externally derived from a hardware signal or a softwaregenerated call internally derived from the execution of an instruction or by some other internal event 2. The 8086 intr input can be used to interrupt a program execution. But once the interrupt gets executed then then in order to get back to the original program, its address as well as machine state must be stored in the stack.
