Usage over time #1

Open erikhuck opened 4 months ago

erikhuck commented 4 months ago

While the tracker currently reports the maximum usage of each resource, a user may want to see the usage over unit time (whichever sleep time they choose or the default). This should not be the default behavior considering it would use up more space (i.e. an increasing amount of space the longer the context lasts). So it should be an option. We may want to append to a file considering (e.g. a csv file) considering the increase in space per unit time. That should also be an option since a user may want the results provided in memory.

Could keep running sum and count, which would not require extra space, pragmatically. Would also track min as well as max.

@hunter-moseley I was referring to a feature where we provide the usage amount of each resource over each time increment so that the user could, for example, plot the usage like with a line plot or whatever other use they have for that data. But maybe most users don't need this.

Tracking the sum and count is a good idea because that would enable us to provide the mean usage at the end. Could definitely provide the min as well.

Tracking over time is a potentially useful option.
