Interrupts

Triggering an interrupt on a remote node should be considered a fast way to notify an application running remotely that something has happened. An interrupt is identified by a unique number and this is practically the only information an application gets when it is interrupted, either synchronously or asynchronously. The SISCI API contains two types if interrupt, with and without data.

Interrupts with no data:

• SCICreateInterrupt()

• SCIRemoveInterrupt()

• SCIConnectInterrupt()

• SCIDisconnectInterrupt()

• SCITriggerInterrupt()

• SCIWaitForInterrupt()

Interrupts with data:

• SCICreateDataInterrupt()

• SCIRemoveDataInterrupt()

• SCIConnectDataInterrupt()

• SCIDisconnectDataInterrupt()

• SCITriggerDataInterrupt()

• SCIWaitForDataInterrupt()
