  • Patent number: 5774732
    Abstract: A device for managing cyclic pollings for the supervision of computer resources in a network, wherein in order to execute requests for requesting information requests from the various resources in the network using a single operation and a single clock, so that each request is emitted with the proper frequency, the device includes a data table (DT), which is indexed and which contains the data for each request to be emitted having its own index (idx) as well as its own theoretical emission period (pr), a cyclic poll table (PT) which contains the indexes (idx) of the requests with the emission dates thereof, which table (PT) is sorted in ascending order by the dates, with the first line containing the nearest date, and a wait table (WT), indexed by the indexes (idx) of the emitted requests waiting for responses, which contains the dates (d+pr) of the next emissions. The device further implements a process for managing cyclic pollings.
