Interrupt prioritization is a critical process in computing systems that determines the order in which multiple interrupt requests are handled, ensuring that higher priority tasks receive immediate attention. This mechanism enhances system efficiency and responsiveness by minimizing latency for critical operations while managing less urgent tasks appropriately.

System efficiency refers to the ability of a system to achieve its objectives with minimal waste of resources, such as time, energy, and materials. It is often measured by the ratio of useful output to total input, and improving efficiency is crucial for optimizing performance and sustainability.

Responsiveness refers to the ability of a system, organization, or individual to react promptly and effectively to changes or demands in the environment. It is critical for maintaining adaptability, customer satisfaction, and operational efficiency in dynamic contexts.
