Shows the number of different IRQs received by the kernel. High disk or network traffic can cause a high number of interrupts (with good hardware and drivers this will be less so). Sudden high interrupt activity with no associated higher system activity is not normal.

Function call interrupts | iCAL | derive | Interrupt CAL (Function call interrupts) | ||
Deferred Error APIC interrupts | iDFR | derive | Interrupt DFR (Deferred Error APIC interrupts) | ||
IRQ work interrupts | iIWI | derive | Interrupt IWI (IRQ work interrupts) | ||
Local timer interrupts | iLOC | derive | Local (pr. CPU core) APIC timer interrupt. Until 2.6.21 normaly 250 or 1000 pr second. On modern 'tickless' kernels it more or less reflects how busy the machine is. | ||
