The processor is executing ‘Load AC from memory’ instruction. Choose the correct micro-instructions:

When an I/O device completes an I/O operation, the device issues an interrupt signal to the processor and then:

The processor finishes execution of the current instruction before responding to the interrupt

The processor stops execution of the current instruction without finishing it and responds to the interrupt

The processor loads the program counter with the entry location of the interrupt-handling routine

The processor saves information needed to resume the current program at the point if interrupt

Most I/O devices are:

much shorter than the processor

If there no interrupts, after each write operation, the processor must

Finish execution of current instruction

Save the PSW and PC onto control stack

Pause and remain idle until the I/O operation finishes

The concept of a batch operating system was developed to

Maximize processor utilization (To improve utilization)

The processor was often idle waiting for the I/O instruction to conclude. To overcome the problem the following approach was introduced: when one job needs to wait for I/O, the processor can switch to the other job. This was a

Multiprogramming or multitasking batch system

the system can allocate resources to each process in some order and still avoid a deadlock
