Abstract
Systems and methods are provided to implement a polling process for monitoring a system of interdependent hardware components. A shared aggregate state data structure comprising information of an aggregate state of the interdependent hardware components is maintained in a system memory. A poller loop process generates and utilizes two local instances in system memory of the shared aggregate state data structure, including a current state data structure and a previous state data structure. The current state data structure is utilized during a lock-free polling routine to store current aggregate state data of the interdependent hardware components, while other executing threads outside the poller loop process can access the shared aggregate state data structure. The shared aggregate state data structure is updated by performing a merge of state information contained in the shared aggregate state, current aggregate state, and previous aggregate state data structures.
