An interrupt doesnt stop the mcu or the operation of the instruction being executed. Typically, the interrupt service routine would set some sort of flag to indicate to the system board that an interrupt has occurred, which the system board would then address more fully once it specifically checks on the status of that flag. Normally, the hardware is very slow in terms of processing speed with the microcontroller. Since this tutorial is writen for students the part count will be kept low.
In short, a thread is a task and an interrupt is a signal used to queue a more important task. Forces the processor to suspend whatever it is doing at the time, and go to another segment of code to service the interrupt hence we call this the interrupt service routine or isr. Why do modern keyboards use usb polling vs ps2 interrupt. Therefore, if we implement polling method, it is going to slow up the speed of the microcontroller and hence, performance.
However, commandready bit indicate that the device needs servicing. In polling method, the microcontroller is checking continuously whether the device is ready or not, but the chances of data loss are greater in polling. Pollinginterruptdma differences explained easily youtube. Servicing an interrupt involves saving the context of the current process, completing the interrupt task interrupt service routine, restoring the registers and the process context, and resuming the original process. There are two types of interrupts, hardware interrupts and software interrupts. Interrupt is a hardware mechanism as cpu has a wire, interrupt request line which signal that interrupt has occurred. Polling should be avoided where possible, as it typically eats a lot of cpu cycles unnecessarily unless either a you are only going to poll for a short time or b you can afford to sleep for a reasonable time in your polling loop.
In data handling, an interrupt indicates data can be read or written to a device. The cpu and the special interrupt hardware run at the same time so the cpu can be dooing something else and the special interrupt hardware is still looking at the interupt flag.
