"Explain the role of a device driver in managing interrupts. How does the driver handle multiple simultaneous interrupts and prioritize them? Provide an example of how effective interrupt management can enhance system performance."
Interrupts are managed by device drivers by catching the interrupt whether hardware, critical non critical or a software one, storing the current state of the running process then restoring the state of the normal process after addressing interrupt.
Prioritizing operations on high load stimulus is key to managing and enhacing system performance. Existing priority schemes are utilized to handle interrupts efficiently.
