Publication number: 20060085536Abstract: A system and method for sharing data polling and buffering for multiple requesters are provided. With the present invention, a user/computing device may register with a data polling system whose purpose is to periodically poll computer system resources for data. This data is stored in a common storage buffer with pointers to the data being stored in index data structures for a plurality of users. More than one user index data structure may have a pointer to the same data location in the common storage buffer. In addition, a mechanism for aligning data pollings among a plurality of users/computing devices is provided so as to increase the amount of sharing of data stored in the common storage buffer.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 30, 2004Publication date: April 20, 2006Applicant: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Joel Meyer, William Parvin, Wenjian Qiao, Dean West
