<h1>9.3 Priority Among Simultaneous Interrupts and Exceptions</h1>
If more than one interrupt or exception is pending at an instruction boundary, the processor services one of them at a time. The priority among classes of interrupt and exception sources is shown in <a href="S09_04.HTM#Table 9-2" tppabs="http://webster.cs.ucr.edu/Page_TechDocs/Doc386/S09_04.HTM#Table 9-2">Table 9-2</a>. The processor first services a pending interrupt or exception from the class that has the highest priority, transferring control to the first instruction of the interrupt handler. Lower priority exceptions are discarded; lower priority interrupts are held pending. Discarded exceptions will be rediscovered when the interrupt handler returns control to the point of interruption.
