Method and apparatus for optimized execution using resource utilization maps

A resource optimization method executed on a central server comprising:

• receiving from a plurality of computing devices resource allocation data based on user inputs in response to a displayed graphical representation including one or more visual indicators illustrating usage of a resource by a corresponding display element;
• generating a community resource allocation scheme based on the received resource allocation data;
• and
• transmitting the community resource allocation scheme.

A computing device, comprising:

• a display;
• and
• a processor coupled to the display and configured with processor-executable instructions to perform operations comprising:
• translating information regarding resource utilization of the computing device by one or more of a function, a process, an application, a component of a process, and a component of a application into a resource utilization map including a visual indicator illustrating usage of a resource by the one or more of a function, a process, an application, a component of a process, and a component of a application;
• and
• displaying the resource utilization map so that the visual indicator is aligned with a corresponding display element.

A server, comprising:

• a network connection configured to receive transmissions from and send transmissions to a plurality of computing devices;
• and
• a server processor configured with processor-executable instructions to perform operations comprising:
• receiving from the plurality of computing devices resource allocation data based on user inputs in response to a displayed graphical representation including one or more visual indicators illustrating usage of a resource by a corresponding display element;
• generating a community resource allocation scheme based on the received resource allocation data;
• and
• transmitting the community resource allocation scheme via the network connection.

A server, comprising:

• means for receiving transmissions from and send transmissions to a plurality of computing devices;
• means for receiving from the plurality of computing devices resource allocation data based on user inputs in response to a displayed graphical representation including one or more visual indicators illustrating usage of a resource by a corresponding display element;
• means for generating a community resource allocation scheme based on the received resource allocation data;
• and
• means for transmitting the community resource allocation scheme via the network connection.

A non-transitory computing readable storage medium having stored thereon processor-executable instructions configured to cause a server to perform operations comprising:

• receiving from a plurality of computing devices resource allocation data based on user inputs in response to a displayed graphical representation including one or more visual indicators illustrating usage of a resource by a corresponding display element;
• generating a community resource allocation scheme based on the received resource allocation data;
• and
• transmitting the community resource allocation scheme.
