DISPLAYING COMPUTING SYSTEM METRICS

Abstract:

Systems and methods for monitoring computing resource usage and computing task progression. The monitoring includes displaying computing system metrics by animating curved bands in a display screen. A method embodiment commences upon identifying computing system metrics that are associated with computing resource usage metrics and/or computing task progression metrics, then assigning one or more curved bands to the computing resource usage and/or computing task progression metrics. The curved bands are configured to be displayed in a user interface. The curved band configuration includes determining graphical characteristics of the curved bands, where the graphical characteristics are determined based on aspects of the system metrics. State parameter values corresponding to the system metrics change over time, which changes are animated by displaying changes via the graphical characteristics of the one or more curved bands to visually indicate usage and/or progress. A user manipulates certain of the graphical characteristics from the user interface.
