[Feature request] RAM Usage

[fludd]

Hi there!

 

Just a quick feature request here:

 

It would be great, if you added a RAM usage widget.

 

I don't know, if this software is written in C++ or anything else, but you could use this to get the values and create a widget just like the cpu percentage widget. It might even help you in the quest of the search for the cpu usage problems in the icue software. Just create an instance of the object below and call the needed functions as few times as possible to save clock cycles.

 

// system_stats.h
#pragma once
#include "TCHAR.h"
#include "pdh.h"
#include "windows.h"

class SystemStats {

public:
SystemStats();
int currentCpuUsage();
int currentRamUsageInPercent();
int freeMemoryInPercent();

private:
PDH_HQUERY cpuQuery;
PDH_HCOUNTER cpuTotal;

};



// system_stats.cpp
#include "system_stats.h"

SystemStats::SystemStats()
{
   PdhOpenQuery(NULL, NULL, &cpuQuery);
   PdhAddEnglishCounter(cpuQuery, L"\\Processor(_Total)\\% Processor Time", NULL, &cpuTotal);
   PdhCollectQueryData(cpuQuery);
}

int SystemStats::currentCpuUsage()
{
   PDH_FMT_COUNTERVALUE counterVal;

   PdhCollectQueryData(cpuQuery);
   PdhGetFormattedCounterValue(cpuTotal, PDH_FMT_DOUBLE, NULL, &counterVal);

   return (int)counterVal.doubleValue;
}

int SystemStats::currentRamUsageInPercent()
{
   MEMORYSTATUSEX memInfo;
   memInfo.dwLength = sizeof(MEMORYSTATUSEX);
   GlobalMemoryStatusEx(&memInfo);

   return memInfo.dwMemoryLoad;
}

int SystemStats::freeMemoryInPercent()
{
   return 100 - currentRamUsageInPercent();
}

+1 for this. I just set up my new K100 and iCue Nexus today and was kind of shocked there wasn't a memory usage widget.

 

Or if there is, it's well hidden. :)

Three years later and not much happening with widgets. Do Corsair expecting third party developers to make the Nexus get going?
