IRQs Activity Monitoring:
The following is a list of IRQ’s, Interrupt ReQuests. When an I/O device wants to gain the attention of
the operating system, it causes an IRQ to occur. When the operating system is ready to respond to the
request, it interrupts itself and performs the service.
When one of the specified events occurs, the count down for entry into the power saving mode goes back
to zero. Since the computer will enter a power saving mode only after a specified inactivity delay (time
specific for Doze, Standby and Suspend modes) and after there has been no activity during this time
period, any event will cause the computer to re-count the time elapsed. Resume events are operations or
signals that cause the computer to resume time counting.
