Interrupt Processing Step 1: When the interrupt occurs the processor is currently executing i th instruction and the program counter will be currently pointing to (i + 1)th instruction. Step 2: When the interrupt occurs the program counter value is stored on the processes stack. Step 3: The program counter is now loaded with the address of interrupt service routine. Step 4: Once the interrupt service routine is completed the address on the processes stack is pop and place back in the program counter. Step 5: Execution resumes from (i + 1)th line of COMPUTE routine.
