NAME

       /proc/interrupts - number of interrupts

DESCRIPTION

       /proc/interrupts
              This is used to record the number of interrupts per CPU per IO device.  Since Linux
              2.6.24, for the i386  and  x86-64  architectures,  at  least,  this  also  includes
              interrupts  internal to the system (that is, not associated with a device as such),
              such as NMI (nonmaskable interrupt), LOC  (local  timer  interrupt),  and  for  SMP
              systems,  TLB  (TLB  flush  interrupt),  RES  (rescheduling interrupt), CAL (remote
              function call interrupt), and possibly others.  Very easy to read formatting,  done
              in ASCII.
