Abstract
A method for graphically displaying central processing unit consumption for at least one variable capacity or uncapped partition including displaying CPU utilization or consumption of at least one variable capacity or uncapped partition in a variable-size colored pie chart. The pie chart shows time spent in at least one of user mode, operating system mode, I/O wait mode, or idle mode, with each mode being represented by a different color. An entitlement indicator is displayed for the effective minimum capacity of the at least one variable capacity or uncapped partition.
Claims1
