Plug and Play Resource Allocation
Your computer has many devices connected to it. Your key board is a device. Your mouse is a device. Your modem is a device.
Even a port, like a USB port, is a device.
You can add a device to your computer by installing it into an expansion connector on the the motherboard of the computer. In order to operate, resources need to be allocated to the device. One of the most important resources a device needs is an Interrupt Request (IRQ) line. An IRQ signals the processor that the device needs attention. For example, each time you press a key on your keyboard, an IRQ is sent to let the processor know that the keyboard needs attention.
A device also needs to be allocated a set of memory addresses where commands can be sent to it and it can send responses. Many devices need to be allocated an area of memory to store data and/or a Direct Memory Access (DMA) channel. A DMA channel allows a device to create a data stream directly between it and the computers memory without...
