Multiple choice technology architecture

A sudden increase in processor interrupt time potentially signals

  1. Processor congestion

  2. Multiple threads sharing same prority level

  3. Hardware issue

  4. High utilization of processer
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Option C is correct because a sudden increase in processor interrupt time typically indicates hardware issues - faulty devices, malfunctioning components, or driver problems can cause excessive interrupts as the hardware repeatedly signals the CPU. Processor congestion (A) typically shows as high utilization, thread priority issues (B) cause scheduling delays, and high utilization (D) is a steady state - none specifically cause interrupt spikes like hardware failures do.
