Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for monitoring application program resource consumption, the method comprising: accessing information that identifies consumption, by multiple computing devices and at requests of a particular application program, of resources that correspond to the computing devices, each of the multiple computing devices having provided a portion of the information; analyzing, by a computing system, the accessed information to determine one or more values that identify average consumption of the resources by at least a subset of the computing devices over a defined length of time, wherein the determination of the one or more values weights more heavily the information that identifies the consumption of the resources by the subset of computing devices than information that identifies the consumption of the resources by other of the computing devices that are not in the subset; and providing for display, on a particular computing device and in cooperation with a display of a network-accessible application program software marketplace, an indicium that illustrates the one or more values, wherein the application program software marketplace provides application program software for execution by the particular computing device and other computing devices.
