With
the multitasking capabilities in Zeta, users might want to check
and control how much of their computer's processor time is being
used. Each running application on the Zeta system has a small slice
of time it can use to complete it's task. As more and more applications
use the system, there are fewer slices to give out.
Pulse can illustrate how busy your system is on a graph. If you
have multiple processors, one graph is shown for each processor.
As a developer, having a computer multiple processor, you might
be interested in how the application that you are developing runs
on one processor. You can in a simple way within the application
turn of processors (only if you have more than on processor). But
it is not possible to turn off all processors, the system will always
keep one of the running. Zeta supports up to eight processors. When
turning of a processor or more, no restart is needed. The changes
are done in real-time. Doing this while rendering a picture, you
will actually see how the speed of rendering process goes up and
down.
The graph is by default running as an application, but can also
be placed in the Replicant
Shelf in the Deskbar.
