Well, sortof not. It is asynchronous to your program flow.
Now you do. And SSTs are synchronous to your program flow, but are also
a software construct.
So, from your program point of view, AST very much corresponds to
interrupts, and SST corresponds to traps. But call a routine you
registered, with some arguments giving additional information on the stack.

ASTs are
synchronous with instruction execution, right?
That's exactly the point - the "A" in AST is wrong... In RSX you
have both ASTs and SSTs. Did you know that one? :-)
Nope, that didn't...
