Anatomy of a Drop-Off Reading Curve

Conference Papers

Résumé

Not all readers finish the book they start to read. Electronic media allow to us to measure more precisely how this “drop-off” effect unfolds as readers are reading a book. A curve showing how many people have read each chapter of a book is likely to be progressively going down as part of them interrupt their reading “journey”. This article is an initial study about the shape of these “dropoff” reading curves.

Interrupt handler

In computer systems programming, an interrupt handler, also known as an interrupt service routine or ISR, is a special block of code associated with a specific interrupt condition. Interrupt handlers are initiated by hardware interrupts, software interrupt instructions, or software exceptions, and are used for implementing device drivers or transitions between protected modes of operation, such as system calls. The traditional form of interrupt handler is the hardware interrupt handler.

Interruption (informatique)

En informatique, une interruption est une suspension temporaire de l'exécution d'un programme informatique par le microprocesseur afin d'exécuter un programme prioritaire (appelé service d'interruption). avancement d'une horloge, signalisation de la complétion d'un transfert de données, positionnement d'une tête de lecture/écriture Cependant, on l'utilise aussi pour désigner des exceptions, c'est-à-dire des arrêts provoqués par une condition exceptionnelle dans le programme (instruction erronée, accès à une zone mémoire inexistante, calcul arithmétique incorrect, appel volontaire au système d'exploitation).

Non-maskable interrupt

In computing, a non-maskable interrupt (NMI) is a hardware interrupt that standard interrupt-masking techniques in the system cannot ignore. It typically occurs to signal attention for non-recoverable hardware errors. Some NMIs may be masked, but only by using proprietary methods specific to the particular NMI. An NMI is often used when response time is critical or when an interrupt should never be disabled during normal system operation.
