systems) it is more efficient to use interrupts because it can reduce processor spinnning and/or bandwidth consumption. Sometimes a single interrupt will be shared with multiple devices. When such an interrupt is raised, the interrupt service routine will poll the devices sharing the interrupt to determine which needs servicing. Vectored interrupts are a more efficient alternative which dispatches each device directly to its own private interrupt service routine.
