cpu Interrupts Per Sec

1.3.6.1.4.1.311.1.1.3.1.1.2.1.6

Interrupts/sec is the number of device interrupts the processor is experiencing. A device interrupts the processor when it has completed a task or when it otherwise requires attention. Normal thread execution is suspended during interrupts. An interrupt may cause the processor to switch to another, higher priority thread. Clock interrupts are frequent and periodic and create a background of interrupt activity.
