Better adjustment and alignment of core usage widgets

[MadhavJivrajani]

grofer will most likely not work on large cored machines. Currently, the widgets for the per-core usage are only adjusted in height and have constant width (relative to the terminal dimensions).

It might be better to have some way to adjust these bars in columns as well depending on the number of cores available on the underlying machine. For example: htop flawlessly shows core usage on a 96 core machine, whereas grofer ended up crashing. We'll probably need to investigate the reason for this crash a little more, but it's definitely a good idea to get started on better aligning and placing the widgets on the screen

Would it make sense to have a different visualization for large cored machines? I don't think 96 bars are very informative

[MadhavJivrajani]

Bars are an effective visualisation, but just not the way grofer does it, for example here's what htop looks like on a 96 core machine

What other forms of virtualization could be possible?

[anihm136]

I was thinking just a percentage with a color. But yeah, htop looks fine for 96 cores

How feasible would a circular graph be?

[anirudhRowjee]

perhaps a rectangular matrix (say 8 *12) of percentage values with colors? it'll look something like a heatmap
