The document discusses interrupts in a computer system. Interrupts allow other modules to interrupt the normal processing sequence. There are different types and classes of interrupts. The program flow of control changes with interrupts, as the processor switches from the main program to the interrupt handler service routine upon receiving an interrupt. Multiple interrupts from different sources can occur and need to be handled through methods like sequential processing, nested processing, or priority-based processing.
