a. Explain what the CPU should do when an interrupt occurs. Include in your answer the method the CPU uses to detect an interrupt, how it is handled, and what happens when the interrupt has been serviced. d. Explain the steps of the fetch-decode-execute cycle. Your explanation should include what is happening in the various registers.
