1. A method of grouping interrupts of one or more types for real time applications data from a data storage system in accordance with the types of the interrupt, said data storage system comprising a first part and a second part, said data storage system being able to send data coming from a host processor to one or more communication channels and to send interrupts to the host processor, the method comprising:

  • providing each part of the data storage system with an indicator of an event associated with the part;

    generating interrupts upon the occurrence of events in different parts of the data storage system;

    allocating interrupts associated with the same part of the data storage system to a same processing system; and

    wherein generating interrupts comprises generating a first type of interrupt to require updated data from the host processor and comprising generating a second type of interrupt to indicate to the host processor finalization of data transmission to the communication channel.
