Abstract

Systems and methods for displaying computer environment monitoring data can include a multi-tier cache memory associated with a processor of a first device. The multi-tier cache memory can include a first cache layer, and a second cache layer having a higher data access rate than the first cache layer. The first device can receive, from a second device, a data block including monitoring data selected based on user profile information associated with a user of the first device. The first device can store the data block in the first cache layer, and generate a first data sub-block using data from the data block having a higher priority for display as compared to other data of the data block. The first device can store the first data sub-block in the second cache layer, and provide the first data sub-block for display on a display device from the second cache layer.
