ABSTRACT:
A system for monitoring a resource in a processing system is disclosed. The processing system includes a display. The system comprises a total resource graphic provided on the display. The total resource graphic represents the total resource. The system includes at least one allocation graphic provided within the total resource graphic. The allocation graphic represents the proportion of the resources allocated to an object. The system and method in accordance with the present invention allows for allocation of a resource across all demands, the relative size of the allocations, and the usage of the resource by the individual demanding operation within a single graphical object. In addition, the object would provide for changes to that allocation by direct manipulation, in addition, the status indicator would provide additional information on demand by the user. The graphical object will provide a single view of the total resource available, the allocation of that resource to individual operations, and the amount of the allocated resource to each operation currently in use. Therefore, in a preferred embodiment, a computer is used to perform the numeric calculations of the allocations and provides a single picture to the user. The user can then derive information regarding the relative importance of any single element. This enables the computer and the user or users to perform the functions for which they are best suited within the operation (computers are best suited to perform calculations; humans users of computers are bested suited to seek patterns and assign relevance to their needs).
