OpenSource! System Information Monitor

Forget about what you thought is possible, and embrace Change

System Information Monitor was born with the idea of breaking free from platforms and installers. 4 weeks and a lot of hacking later, we have success.

Other boring info

The guts of System Monitor lay in concurrency. At any point in time System Monitor is utilizing a thread pool in order to poll information from the operating system. Each of these sources respond at very diferrent rates so the thread pool keeps things flowing in at a near constant rate.
