The 8085 does not have an adjustable priority interrupt schema. You can only turn interrupts off, and mask certain interrupts, such as RST5.5, RST6.5, and RST7.5.

However, that said, you can implement a priority schema, of sorts, within these interrupts, including INTR, by using the SIM instruction. You can't change the basic priority but you can disable certain interrupts while others are being serviced, if you so choose.

What punctuation is used to set off material that interrupts?

Parentheses or dashes are typically used to set off material that interrupts the flow of a sentence.


Should any device be allowed to interrupt CPU while another interrupts are being serviced?

It is possible to allow nested interrupts. This is often done when there is a heirarchy of interrupts, some with higher priority than others. In order for this to work, the second interrupt must not be allowed to influence the progress of the first interrupt. We call this being "thread safe". In a nested scheme, an interrupt mask is set so that higher priority interrupts can be permitted, while blocking interrupts of the same or lower priority, and then interrupts are reenabled during the interrupt service routine. At the conclusion of the first routine, interrupts are disabled again, the mask is restored, and the normal interrupt return sequence is executed. In the 8085, this can be supported using the Read Interrupt Mask (RIM) and Set Interrupt Mask (SIM) instructions. While not strictly required, the logical priority is often INTR, RST5.5, RST6.6, RST7.5, and then TRAP, in order of increasing priority.


If more than on IRQ is up at the same time how does the interrupt controller select with to process first?

The priority of interrupts on the 8085 is, in order of decreasing priority, TRAP, RST7.5, RST6.5, RST5.5, and INTR. The priority of interrupts on the 8259 is dependent on the priority mode set by the programmer, it can either be 1.) fully nested mode, where IRQ0 has highest priority, 2.) auto rotation mode, where each has equal priority in a rotating scheme, and 3.) fixed rotation mode, where one is selected as highest by the programmer.


Do you Use commas around an idea that interrupts a sentence?

Yes, commas are used around an idea that interrupts a sentence. This interruption is known as an "interjection" and is set off by commas to help clarify the structure of the sentence.


What is the meaning of maskable hardware interrupt?

A maskable hardware interrupt is one that can be disabled, or masked, by instructions in the CPU. In the 8085, all interupts except TRAP and (software) RST N can be masked by disabling interrupts, and RST7.5, RST6.5, and RST5.5 can be individually masked with the SIM (Set Interrupt Mask) instruction. In general, you leave interrupts disabled until one instruction before returning. In the case of the RST*.5 interrupts, you can mask it during interrupt processing and then enable interrupts, allowing other levels to interrupt you again. At the conclusion of the interrupt routine, you would disable interrupts, restore the mask, enable interrupts, and return. If you use this method, you can choose the nesting priority as desired. You determine what mask to set using the RIM (Read Interrupt Mask) instruction and then do bit manipulation before using SIM.

What happens when processor is attending an interrupt if it gets another interrupt?

The response to another interrupt request during servicing of an interrupt depends on the setting of the interrupt enable flag and/or the interrupt mask. If the interrupt service routine is thread safe, it will process correctly. More probably, problems will arise so the proper procedure is to either set the interrupt mask (8085) to not allow this or lower priority interrupts before reenabling interrupt, or to leave interrupts disabled until this iteration is complete. If interrupts are disabled or masked, a subsequent interrupt will be posted but not processed until the first is completed.


What is the process with priority 0 in Windows?

Pririty zero can be set from the task manager. It is the lowest priority of a process. Process with priority zero will be processed least.
