  • Publication number: 20170017516
    Abstract: An information processing device for reducing the number of times of interrupt notification for notifying completion of execution of input/output instruction and lightening a load of interrupt processing is described. The information processing device prescribes that a driver checks a completion state of a preceding input/output instruction after issuance of the input/output instruction. An issuing timing of the input/output instruction is considered to be a polling timing for checking the completion state of the preceding input/output instruction. Before the input/output device transmits interrupt notification to a CPU, the input/output device sets a timer to stand by for a prescribed time. A processing unit which resets the timer and extends the standby time by a prescribed time in a case where notification that a subsequent input/output instruction is issued arrives from a driver to the input/output device during the time is additionally provided to the input/output device.
