In the 8086/8088, the interrupt vector table is the first 1024 bytes of memory. In the 8085, the interrupt vector table is the first 64 bytes of memory if using the RST form of interrupt, otherwise the interrupt vector is provided by the interrupting device, usually in the form of a CALL instruction.
The interrupt handler is wherever the interrupt vector points to.

What is the use of interrupt vector?
An interrupt vector is the memory address of an interrupt handler, or an index into an array called an interrupt vector table or dispatch table. Interrupt vector tables contain the memory addresses of interrupt handlers. When an interrupt is generated, the processor saves its execution state via a context switch, and begins execution of the interrupt handler at the interrupt vector.
What is the difference between polling and vector interrupt service routine?
polling interrupt is alternative to the vector interrupt , it requires that the interrupt handler poll or send a signal to each device in turn in order to find out which one is sent the interrupt request.....
What is vector and non vector interrupts?
VECTOR INTERRUPT If the interrupt is assigned to any predefined branching address to its ISR it is termed as vector interrupt. NON VECTOR INTERRUPT If the interrupt is not assigned to any predefined branching address to its ISR it is termed as non-vector interrupt. PRIYAKRISH
Is interrupt vector is inside the kernel?
Yes, the interrupt vector is inside the kernel.
What is Non-interrupt vector?
If the interrupt is not assigned any predefined branching address to its ISR it is termed as non interrupt vector
What are interrupters?
An interrupt is a hardware-generated change of flow within the system. An interrupt handler deals with the cause of the interrupt. Control is then returned to the interrupted context An interrupt is a hardware-generated change of flow within the system. An interrupt handler deals with the cause of the interrupt. Control is then returned to the interrupted context
What is a TrapHandler?
A trap handler, also called an interrupt handler or interrupt service routine (ISR) is a program that executes when predefined events occur in a computer. There are software and hardware interrupts. An interrupt causes the computer's processor to stop running its current task and immediately run the trap handler to service the interrupt.
What is the difference between polling and vector interrupt system?
In a computer, a vectored interrupt is an I/O interrupt that tells the part of the computer that handles I/O interrupts at the hardware level that a request for attention from an I/O device has been received and also identifies the device that sent the request. A vectored interrupt is an alternative to a polled interrupt , which requires that the interrupt handler poll or send a signal to each device in turn in order to find out which one sent the interrupt request.
What is the size of the interrupt vector table in the 8086-8088 microprocessor?
There are 256 different interrupt vectors in the 8086/8088. Each vector is a far CS:IP address, which is four bytes. That makes the interrupt vector table 1,024 bytes.
What happens when interrupts comes?
Interrupt handler is responsible for following functions:- Determine the interrupt source. Determine the service routine to serve the interrupt source.
What does the RET statement do in assembly language?
RETurn from a subrutin or interrupt handler.
What do you mean by IVT in 8086?
Interrupt vector table
