causes a processor to stop the running
task, and to execute an interrupt handler
instead. The interrupt handler

responds to the interrupt, whereupon
control is ...

Creating a new field programmable
gate array is no small feat.
FPGA vendors spend tens-of-thousands
of man-hours simply
researching markets to determine
the feature set a given
device will require and the silicon
process that they will use to manufacture
the device. This starts years
before they embark on the ...
