REDUCING OVERPOLLING OF DATA IN A DATA PROCESSING SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A computer implemented method for reducing overpolled data in a data processing system, the computer implemented method comprising:
- identifying, by a controller, a set of redundant measurements in a cycle;
identifying a number of measurements repeated in the set of redundant measurements;
computing a percentage of redundant polls based on the number of measurements repeated in the set of redundant measurements; and
computing a new polling period by increasing an original polling period by the percentage of redundant polls.

Abstract
A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer usable program code for reducing overpolled data in a data processing system is provided. A controller identifies a set of redundant measurements in a cycle. The controller then identifies a number of measurements repeated in the set of redundant measurements. The controller the computes a percentage of redundant polls based on the number of measurements repeated in the set of redundant measurements. The controller then computes a new polling period by reducing an original polling period by the percentage of redundant polls.

4. A data processing system comprising:
-
a controller; an agent polling device connected to the controller, wherein the agent polling device requests measurements from a data source polling device at a first polling period, wherein the first polling period comprises a frequency with which the agent polling device requests data from the data source polling device; and the data source polling device that requests updated measurements at a second polling period, wherein the second polling period comprises a frequency slower than the first polling period, and wherein the controller identifies a set of redundant measurements in a cycle resulting from the second polling period being slower than the first polling period, and wherein the controller identifies a number of measurements repeated in the set of redundant measurements, and wherein the controller computes a percentage of redundant polls based on the number of measurements repeated in the set of redundant measurements, and wherein the controller computes a new polling period by reducing an original polling period by the percentage of redundant polls. - View Dependent Claims (5, 6)
