We all might know that there’s a task manager on any OS such as Windows where we can look for the tasks which are currently running, their memory usage, CPU performance and other statistics. It helps in understanding the CPU’s utilization, memory usage and other such statistical figures, with which the system’s performance can be boosted up.

Even the Google Chrome has a task manager from where we can get information such as network activity, CPU usage etc. They show the exact figure of the amount of memory consumption in case of a browser. The multi-process architecture provides individual data of the processes that are happening on that particular instant. If you look into the Chrome task manager currently you can find the newsiest web page and the memory, CPU, network usages and Process ID.
