## Abstract

This document describes techniques for presenting a resource user interface. These techniques present, in a summary section of a user interface, multiple selectable resource tiles that each include real-time and/or static information corresponding to one of multiple resources of a computing device. Each of the multiple selectable resource tiles are presented simultaneously, which enables a user to compare live, real-time resource usage for different resources of the computing device.

## Background
BACKGROUND
Conventional computer diagnostic tools display information corresponding to system resources, such as a processor and a memory, one system resource at a time. For example, a typical task-manager application may display information about processor performance separately from information about memory usage. Thus, conventional computer diagnostic tools make it difficult for users to compare overall system resource usage to determine the cause of a performance problem.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Overview
This document describes techniques for presenting a resource user interface. These techniques present, in a summary section of a user interface, multiple selectable resource tiles that each include real-time and/or static information corresponding to one of multiple resources of a computing device. Each of the multiple selectable resource tiles are presented simultaneously, which enables a user to compare live, real-time resource usage for different resources of the computing device. Further, these techniques present, in a detailed view section of the user interface, additional real-time resource information and/or a real-time resource graph corresponding to a selected one of the multiple resources.
The resource user interface may be presented in a performance tab of a task manager user interface or as a stand-alone user interface. A user can access the resource user interface to diagnose a performance problem of the user's computing device. As an example, the user may notice that the computing device is operating slowly, which may be caused by applications using too much of the central processing unit (CPU) or using too much of the memory of the computing device. The resource user interface enables the user to compare real-time usage of both the CPU and the memory at the same time to quickly and easily determine whether the CPU or the memory is causing the computing device to operate slowly.
While techniques for presenting a resource user interface can be implemented in any number of different devices, systems, environments, and/or configurations, example embodiments for presenting a resource user interface are described in the context of the following example devices, systems, and methods.
Example System
FIG. 1 illustrates an example system 100 in which techniques for a resource user interface can be embodied. System 100 includes a computing device 102, which is illustrated with six examples: a laptop computer 104, a tablet computer 106, a smart phone 108, a set-top box 110, a desktop computer 112, and a gaming device 114, though other computing devices and systems, such as servers and netbooks, may also be used.
Computing device 102 includes computer processor(s) 116 and computer-readable storage media 118 (media 118). Media 118 includes an operating system 120, resources 122, applications 124, and a resource manager 126. As described herein, resources 122 include any type of computer system resource, such as processors 116 (which includes a central processing unit (CPU)), media 118 (which includes a memory or any type of storage disk or spinning media), networks (such as a Wi-Fi connection), and/or a graphical processing unit (GPU). Applications 124 include applications, or processes, that use or utilize resources 122. For example, a word processing application uses processing resources and memory resources.
Resource manager 126 receives information corresponding to resources 122 and enables access to this information. As described in more detail below, this information may include both static information and real-time information. Static information includes information corresponding to the hardware capabilities or specifications of resource 122. For example, static information for a CPU may include the processor speed and manufacturer of the CPU. Real-time, or dynamic, information includes information corresponding to real-time usage of resource 122. For example, real-time information for a CPU may include a current core speed of the CPU or a portion of the CPU that is currently being utilized. As another example, real-time information for a memory may include the portion of the memory that is currently being used.
Resource manager 126 includes or has access to resource user interface 128, which presents the real-time and static information corresponding to resources 122, and enables interaction with this information. Computing device 102 also includes or has access to one or more displays 130, four examples of which are illustrated in FIG. 1. Operating system 120 and resource manager 126 can be separate from each other or combined or integrated in some form. Thus, in some cases operating system 120 includes resource manager 126.
Example Methods
This document now describes example methods of presenting a resource user interface. These methods are shown as sets of blocks that specify operations performed, but are not necessarily limited to the order shown. Portions of the following discussion reference system 100 of FIG. 1, reference to which is made for example only.
FIG. 2 depicts a method 200 for presenting a resource user interface. Block 202 presents selectable resource tiles within a summary section of a user interface. The selectable resource tiles include real-time and/or static information corresponding to resources of computing device 102. Each of the selectable resource tiles are presented simultaneously, which enables a user to compare live, real-time resource usage for a plurality of different resources of computing device 102.
By way of example, consider FIG. 3, which illustrates a detailed example of resource user interface 128 (FIG. 1). In this detailed example, resource manager 126 presents a resource user interface 128 that includes a summary section 302 having four selectable resource tiles 304, 306, 308, and 310. Each of these resource tiles includes real-time information corresponding to the resource 122 represented by the tile. In some embodiments, these resource tiles may also include static information corresponding to the resource 122 represented by the tile. Resource tiles 304, 306, 308, and 310 are just one example of resource tiles, other example of resource tiles includes the name of a represented resource, or any other type of symbol or shape that represents a resource and includes information corresponding to the represented resource.
In this example, resource tile 304 is directed to a CPU resource of computing device 102. Tile 304 presents real-time, or live, information corresponding to usage of the CPU, which in this example includes information indicating that the core speed of the CPU is 2.93 GHz and that 99% of the CPU is being utilized by one or more applications 124. Additionally, tile 304 includes a real-time resource graph that indicates a portion or a percentage of the CPU being utilized over various time periods. The real-time resource graph in resource tile 304 is just one example of a real-time resource graph. Other examples of the real-time resource graph include pie charts, bar charts, histograms, and any other type of graph, chart, or diagram that indicates resource usage.
Resource tile 306, in this example, is directed to a memory resource of computing device 102. Tile 306 includes real-time information corresponding to the memory resource, which in this case includes information indicating that 2.1 gigabytes of a total of 4.0 gigabytes of memory is being used by one or more applications 124, which is 52% of the available memory. Additionally, tile 306 includes a real-time resource graph that indicates a portion of the memory being utilized over various time periods.
Similarly, resource tile 308, in this example, is directed to a disk (e.g., storage disk or spinning media) of computing device 102 and includes real-time information corresponding to the disk as well as a real-time resource graph that indicates a portion of the disk being utilized over various time periods. Similarly, resource tile 310, in this example, is directed to a network connection (e.g., a Wi-Fi or wired network connection) of computing device 102 and includes real-time information corresponding to the network connection as well as a real-time resource graph that indicates a portion of the network bandwidth being utilized over various time periods.
Selectable resource tiles 304, 306, 308, and 310 are examples of just a few of the possible resource tiles that resource manager 126 can present in the summary section 302 of user interface 128. In an embodiment, resource manager 126 can present one selectable resource tile for each hardware resource and/or physical device that is connected to computing device 102. For example, if a computing device has four different disks, resource manager 126 presents a resource tile for each of the four different disks in summary section 302. As another example, if a computing device has more than one network connection (e.g., a wired and a wireless connection), resource manger 126 presents a resource tile for each of the different network connections in summary section 302. In an embodiment, resource manager 126 is configured to present reduced visuals of the resource tiles to optimize performance. For example, if more than four different resource tiles are presented, resource manager 126 may remove presentation of the real-time resource graph from the selectable resource tiles.
Note, therefore, that resource manager 126 presents summary section 302 of user interface 128 to enable a user to quickly compare live, real-time resource usage across a plurality of different resources 122 of computing device 102. This enables the user to diagnose a likely cause of a performance problem. Consider a case where a user notices that computing device 102 is running slowly. After accessing user interface 128, the user can quickly and easily determine that the CPU is being heavily utilized and is likely the cause of the poor performance of computing device 102. The user can then troubleshoot the problem by investigating the reasons for the CPU's heavy usage, which is described in more detail below.
Block 204 presents, within a detailed view section of the user interface, a real-time resource graph corresponding to a first resource. Resource manager 126 may present the real-time resource graph in response to receiving a selection of the selectable resource tile that corresponds to the first resource. By way of example, assume that a user wants to see more information regarding the CPU. To do so, the user selects, such as through a mouse click or tap gesture, selectable resource tile 304 corresponding to the CPU. In response, resource manager 126 presents a real-time resource graph 312 associated with the CPU in a detailed view section 314 of user interface 128. Various types of real-time resource graphs may be presented. For example, the resource graph may present overall CPU utilization, utilization by each logical processor of computing device 102, or utilization by each non-uniform memory access (NUMA) node. Resource manager 126 can scale graph 312 to the number of logical processors on computing device 102. Alternately, resource manager 126 may present real-time resource graph 312 when user interface 128 is opened as a default view. Note that the first resource may correspond to any resource 122, such as processors 116 (which includes a CPU), media 118 (which includes a memory or any type of storage disk or spinning media), networks (such as a Wi-Fi connection), or a GPU, to name just a few.
In various embodiments, resource manager 126 also presents static information and/or real-time information corresponding to the resource in detailed view section 314. For example, static information for the CPU may include the processor speed and the manufacturer of the CPU, which in this example is that the CPU is a 3.2 GHz Intel Core i7 6600M processor. Real-time information includes information corresponding to real-time usage of a resource. Resource manager 126 may present both the real-time information that is presented in summary section 302, as well as additional real-time information. The additional real-time information may be more detailed than the real-time information presented in summary section 302.
In this example, detailed view section 314 includes the real-time information that is presented in selectable resource tile 304, which includes that 99% of the CPU is being utilized and that the core speed is 2.93 GHz. In addition, detailed view section 314 includes additional real-time information that is not included in resource tile 304, which includes that the system time is 00:12:30 and that there are 82 processes, 500 handles, and 2045 threads currently being processed by the CPU. Note, therefore, that the selectable resource tiles provide a summary, or a subset, of the real-time information that is presented in detailed view section 314 of user interface 128.
In this example, real-time resource graph 312 is a larger version of the real-time resource graph presented in selectable resource tile 304, and similarly indicates a portion of the selected resource being utilized at a current time and over a previous time period. Graph 312 presents a percentage of the resource being used at a current time at the far right of the graph, and presents a percentage of the resource being used over a previous time period of 60 seconds. Graph 312 may be moving or paused. When graph 312 is paused, the user is presented with a static graph that does not change. Alternately, when graph 312 is moving, the user is presented with a continuously updating graph showing current resource usage. Graph 312 is just one example of a real-time resource graph. Other examples of real-time resource graph include pie charts, bar charts, histograms, and any other type of graph, chart, or diagram that indicates resource usage. In some embodiments, the detailed view section may include more than one real-time resource graph, such as a graph similar to graph 312 along with a bar chart that indicates other resource information.
Detailed view section 314 is just one example of the detailed view section of resource user interface 128. Generally, the information contained in detailed view section 314 is more detailed than the information contained in summary section 302. Thus, detailed view section 314 can include any configuration and type of information corresponding to a resource 122 that pertains to one of the selectable resource tiles in summary section 314 of resource user interface 128. For example, detailed view section 314 may include one or more real-time resource graphs without any additional real-time information or static information. Alternately, detailed view section 314 may include real-time information and/or static information without a real-time resource graph. In FIG. 3, summary section 302 and detailed view section 314 are presented in the same window of resource user interface 128. Alternately, summary section 302 and detailed view section 314 may be presented in different windows of resource user interface 128.
Block 206 enables selection of one or more data points on the real-time resource graph. For example, one or more data points of real-time resource graph 312 are selectable, such as example data points 316, 318, and 320. A user can select one of the data points of real-time resource graph 312 to view information regarding applications 124 or processes that are using the resource at a time period corresponding to the selected data point, as described in more detail below.
Block 208, responsive to selection of a selected data point, presents one or more applications using the first resource at a time corresponding to the selected data point. By way of example, consider FIG. 4, which illustrates real-time resource graph 312 when a data point in the graph is selected. In this example, a user selects data point 320, such as by clicking, double clicking, tapping, or moving a cursor and hovering over data point 320. Responsively, resource manager 126 presents a list 402 of one or more applications 124 using the first resource at the time corresponding to selected data point 320.
In this example, list 402 indicates that the total CPU utilization at the time corresponding to data point 320 is 99%. In addition, list 402 presents three applications that are using the resource at the time corresponding to data point 320, along with a portion or a percentage of the selected resource that each of the applications are using. In this example, a Web browser application is using 80% of the CPU, an email application is using 10% of the CPU, and a drawing application is using 9% of the CPU at the time corresponding to selected data point 320.
While list 402 is illustrated as a list of three different applications that are using the resource, it is to be appreciated that any number of applications and/or processes using the resource may be listed in list 402. In addition, list 402 may be embodied as a chart (e.g., a pie chart) or any other type of visual representation that indicates applications and/or processes that are using the resource.
Block 210 enables selection of the one or more applications using the first resource. For example, resource manager 126 may enable selection of the one or more applications in list 402. In this example, a user may click on the web browser application in list 402 because the web browser is using 80% of the CPU.
Block 212, responsive to selection of a selected application, enables shut down of the selected application. Continuing with the example above, when the user selects the web browser application from list 402, resource manager 126 may present the user with a list of actions regarding the selected application. For example, resource manager 126 may enable the user to shut down the web browser. Alternately or in addition, resource manager 126 may enable the user to further investigate the web browser application to determine the reason that the web browser is using 80% of the CPU. Alternately or in addition, resource manager 126 may switch to an application or process view to see all of the currently running applications and/or processes.
Note that detailed view section 314 is just one example of a detailed view section that corresponds to a CPU. In addition, detailed view sections may be presented for memory usage, disk activity, network connections, and any other type of resource of computing device 102. For example, if a user selects a second selectable resource tile, such as selectable resource tile 306, resource manager 126 presents real-time information, static information, and/or a real-time resource graph corresponding to the memory of computing device 102 in detailed view section 314. Similarly, if the user selects selectable resource tile 308, resource manager 126 presents real-time information, static information, and/or a real-time resource graph corresponding to the disk activity of computing device 102 in detailed view section 314. Similarly, if the user selects selectable resource tile 310, resource manager 126 presents real-time information, static information, and/or a real-time resource graph corresponding to the network connection of computing device 102 in detailed view section 314.
In accordance with various embodiments, the layout of the real-time information, the static information, and the real-time resource graph in detailed view section 314 is consistent for each resource 122. For example, the layout of detailed view section for the memory, the disk activity, and the network connection is similar to the layout of detailed view section 314 for the CPU in FIG. 3.
