1.	When an external interrupt is generated, what type of mode does the processor supports?(a) real mode(b) virtual mode(c) protected mode(d) supervisor modeThis question was addressed to me in an interview.The origin of the question is The Sun SPARC RISC Model in portion Embedded Processors of Embedded Systems
Answer» RIGHT option is (d) supervisor mode Best explanation: In SPARC when an external interrupt is called, it CREATES an INTERNAL trap in which the current and next instructions GET saved and mode of the PROCESSOR switches to supervisor mode.
