EDITH Overdrive

Engineering in the open

The public showcase documents the C# / .NET 8 and WinUI 3 application through curated source samples, a telemetry architecture and a dated verification record.

Source samples and tests document the engineering. The cinematic below is a Blender concept of the performance cockpit.

Two telemetry paths

Shared snapshots keep dashboard reads and background logging from independently polling the same hardware. Slower diagnostic and maintenance work runs outside the dashboard refresh path.

Fast path

Hardware / Windows providers → shared snapshot → dashboard and history logger → SQLite.

Slow path

Diagnostics / updates / maintenance → cached snapshot → dashboard summary.

CPU, GPU, RAM / VRAM, storage and network providers normalize available readings. Missing or unsupported measurements remain explicitly unavailable.

Designed for low overhead

Cache reuse, refresh serialization and foreground/readiness checks have test guardrails. Runtime cost still depends on hardware, drivers and workload; these tests do not establish a universal overhead ceiling or freedom from frame drops.

PresentMon, by choice

Benchmark sessions support manual start/stop and CSV import. Live capture depends on an available PresentMon adapter; readiness checks do not mean continuous FPS capture. Frame metrics are kept outside the dashboard hot path until explicit opt-in capture.
