Monitoring a performance of a computing device

A device configured to monitor a performance of a resource of the device, the device comprising:

• a memory;
• a processor configured to be in communication with the memory, the processor configured to:
• receive an application code, wherein the application code includes at least one application thread configured to implement at least one task for the application code, and the application code is configured to spawn a performance thread;
• execute the application thread on the computing device, the application thread configured to use at least one resource of the computing device;
• execute the performance thread of the application code on the computing device;
• wherein the performance thread is effective to perform the operations of:
• process two or more calculation requests;
• calculate a first value based on a first number of calculation responses performed in a first time period;
• calculate a second value based on a second number of calculation responses performed in a second time period;
• determine a difference between the first and the second values;
• and
• generate an alert when the difference is above a threshold.

A system configured to monitor a performance of a resource of a computing device, the system comprising:

• a first computing device;
• a network;
• a second computing device configured to be in communication with the first computing device over the network;
• the first computing device configured to:
• send an application code to the second computing device, wherein the application code includes at least one application thread configured to implement at least one task for the application code, and the application code is configured to spawn a performance thread;
• the second computing device configured to:
• receive the application code;
• execute the application thread on the second computing device, the application thread configured to use at least one resource of the computing device;
• execute the performance thread of the application code on the second computing device;
• wherein the performance thread is effective to perform the operations of:
• process two or more calculation requests;
• calculate a first value based on a first number of calculation responses performed in a first time period;
• calculate a second value based on a second number of calculation responses performed in a second time period;
• determine a difference between the first and the second values;
• and
• generate an alert when the difference is above a threshold.
