Abstract
User interfaces are provided that display application energy usage information to a user. Application energy usage information may be displayed as an energy meter user interface that provides derived information (e.g., power and time used to determine energy usage) that is not available through a traditional activity monitor. For example, energy usage information is provided for an application running in isolation, taking into account energy usage based on what the application is doing and not what the rest of the system is doing (e.g., shows CPU wakes in isolation of any other processes). Each of a series of energy bars is presented as an energy utilization metric that includes at least one of a utilization portion and a wake tax portion, combined to represent to represent total energy utilization.
