1. A user interface method executed on a computing device, 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 an application into a plurality of resource utilization maps illustrating usage of a resource, wherein each resource utilization map is averaged over a different amount of time, and wherein a first resource utilization map in the plurality of resource utilization maps includes a visual indicator illustrating usage of the resource by the one or more of a function, a process, an application, a component of a process, and a component of an application;

    displaying the first resource utilization map so that the visual indicator is associated with a corresponding display element;

    receiving a first user input adjusting a shape of the visual indicator in response to displaying the first resource utilization map;

    allocating usage of the resource to at least two of a function of the computing device, a process of the computing device, an application of the computing device, a component of a process of the computing device, and a component of an application of the computing device based on the first user input adjusting the shape of the visual indicator; and

    toggling a display of the computing device between the plurality of resource utilization maps illustrating the allocated usage of the resource in response to a second user input.
