Apps, not just processes

Each app shows with all its processes together, a browser's helpers or a terminal and what runs in it, by processor, memory, energy, disk and graphics use, with graphs over time. Sort, search, quit, force quit, pause and resume. Groups follow windows and process trees: an app launched from a terminal starts a group of its own, and the inspector's Grouping section explains why each process is where it is.

Every graphics card

AMD and Intel through the kernel's DRM statistics, NVIDIA through NVML, loaded only where there's an NVIDIA card. With several cards a Card column says which each app uses, and the table can show one card's clients alone. Each card's graph sits in the strip along the bottom: how busy, how full.

Energy, shared out fairly

The processor's meter is read for you by a small helper that runs as root with no capabilities, starts when asked and leaves after a minute without a request. Each card's meter adds its share, and Energy Meters… shows every meter and which readings count toward the total.
