## NAME
       /proc/interrupts - number of interrupts

## DESCRIPTION
       _/proc/interrupts_
              This  is  used  to record the number of interrupts per CPU per IO device.  Since Linux
              2.6.24, for the i386 and x86-64 architectures, at least, this also includes interrupts
              internal to the system (that is, not associated with a device as such),  such  as  NMI
              (nonmaskable  interrupt),  LOC  (local timer interrupt), and for SMP systems, TLB (TLB
              flush interrupt), RES (rescheduling interrupt), CAL (remote function call  interrupt),
              and possibly others.  Very easy to read formatting, done in ASCII.
