Talk:Message Signaled Interrupts

Unnamed section

[edit]

The message is not written to 'system memory' but to a device that acts on the interrupt. That device might be in system memory space, i.e. memory mapped, but I doubt it can be read back and it definitely is not normal RAM.

Detail

[edit]

This should have more detail. For example it should show the format of the information written and should explain how the appropriate interrupt handlers are identified and how the LAPIC/processor routes execution to the interrupt handlers. It should give an example of multiple interrupts for a single device. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.71.194.228 (talk) 14:28, 5 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! Some might argue that adding such kind of information would turn an article into a manual, but I agree that adding such infomation would actually benefit this article. I might come back to your suggestion at some point in time. — Dsimic (talk | contribs) 23:08, 11 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
