Operating system is the system that carries out the functions and task of computer system. It has the major mechanism in which every alteration and changes are remarked such as state of hardware, event alteration, software component changes etc by the interrupt system.

Through interrupt system the operating system conducts new assignment and task for the compensation of changes that occurred in the system by halting the current working. Resources are invoked to fulfill the requirement of the work load. Thus, operating system can act in interrupt driven system's manner.
