Consider a system which employs an interrupt driven I/O for a particular device that transfer data at an average of 10 KBps on a continuous basis. Assume that interrupt processing takes about 100 µs (i.e. jump to the interrupt service routine (ISR); execute it and return to the main program). The fraction of processor time which is consumed by this I/O device when it is interrupted for every byte will be ?
