Displaying data of a data processing system

A method of defining priorities for data processing in a data processing system, the method comprising:

• displaying data of a data processing system, wherein the data processing system comprises a plurality of data nodes configured to provide data samples, the displaying of the data comprising:
• generating a graphical data priority representation, the generating of the graphical data priority representation comprising:
• displaying, in a first display dimension, a first list with members representing the data samples, wherein each of the members of the first list has an associated priority level;
• displaying, in a second display dimension, a second list with members comprising data sample sub-types, wherein each of the members of the second list has an associated priority level, and wherein each display dimension of the first display dimension and the second display dimension is ordered according to the priority levels associated with the members of the first list and the members of the second list, respectively;
• and
• displaying a priority boundary demarcating different portions of the graphical data priority representation that are associated with different priority levels;
• and
• changing the priority levels associated with members of one or more lists of the first list and the second list, the changing of the priority levels comprising re-drawing the priority boundary on the graphical data priority representation.

A method of controlling data processing in a data processing system, the method comprising:

• defining data priority levels for data processing in a data processing system, the defining of the data priority levels comprising:
• displaying data of a data processing system, wherein the data processing system comprises a plurality of data nodes configured to provide data samples, the displaying of the data comprising:
• generating a graphical data priority representation, the generating of the graphical data priority representation comprising:
• displaying, in a first display dimension, a first list with members representing the data samples, wherein each of the members of the first list has an associated priority level;
• displaying, in a second display dimension, a second list with members comprising data sample sub-types, wherein each of the members of the second list has an associated priority level, and wherein each display dimension of the first display dimension and the second display dimension is ordered according to the priority levels associated with the members of the first list and the members of the second list, respectively;
• and
• displaying a priority boundary demarcating different portions of the graphical data priority representation that are associated with different priority levels;
• and
• changing the priority levels associated with members of one or more lists of the first list and the second list, the changing of the priority levels comprising re-drawing the priority boundary on the graphical data priority representation;
• and
• processing the data according to the defined priority levels.

A data processing system comprising:

• a plurality of data nodes configured to provide data samples
• a processor configured to generate a graphical data priority representation, the generation of the graphical data priority representation comprising:
• display, in a first display dimension, a first list with members representing the data samples, wherein each member of the first list has an associated priority level;
• display, in a second display dimension, a second list with members comprising data sample sub-types, wherein each member of the second list has an associated priority level, and wherein each display dimension of the first display dimension and the second display dimension is ordered according to data priority levels associated with each list member;
• and
• display a priority boundary demarcating different portions of the graphical data priority representation that are associated with different priority levels.

In a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions executable by a computing device to generate a graphical data priority representation for data samples provided by a plurality of data nodes in a data processing system, the instructions comprising:

• generating the graphical data priority representation, the generating of the graphical data priority representation comprising:
• displaying, in a first display dimension, a first list with members representing the data samples, wherein each member of the first list has an associated priority level;
• displaying, in a second display dimension, a second list with members comprising data sample sub-types, wherein each member of the second list has an associated priority level, and wherein each display dimension of the first display dimension and the second display dimension is ordered according to data priority levels associated with each list member;
• and
• displaying a priority boundary demarcating different portions of the graphical data priority representation that are associated with different priority levels.
