Track CPU logic and fluctuating patterns

[LauraAubin]

What is this for?

Here is where we want to start evaluating the data that we have. We should be looking for patterns, similarities, and connections between all our sources of information.

Data that we have:

• List of currently running processes
• Array of all currently running process' PIDs
• Currently selected process with it's PID, niceness, and CPU usage

What can we do with this?

• Monitor fluctuations in the CPU usage. Rapidly changing values indicate a period of unrest. Flag this. Also keep track of when to remove the flag. Monitor fluctuations with the CPU of the selected process #29
• Display a message to the user when a fluctuation occurs. Display a message to the user when a fluctuation occurs #30

Things to consider:

Accurate readings are evaluated every 10 seconds (5 seconds x 2 spots in the array), so we should have a countdown / visual cue until an update in recommendation is made.
