{{Short description|Family of computer interrupt controllers}}
In [[computing]], [[Intel]]'s '''Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller''' ('''APIC''') is a family of [[interrupt controller]]s. As its name suggests, the APIC is more advanced than Intel's [[8259]] [[Programmable Interrupt Controller]] (PIC), particularly enabling the construction of [[multiprocessor]] systems. It is one of several architectural designs intended to solve interrupt routing efficiency issues in multiprocessor computer systems.
