Gather ESI node hardware details

joachimweyl commented 4 months ago

Motivation

PEAKS has requested information about the hardware we have available in ESI. Eventually, ESI will have a way to display this type of information. Until then we would like to be able to share this with users. PEAKS is a sustainability project. They are asking about information that would be specifically relevant to expectations on how much energy would be used in a particular machine, such as the chip architecture family and version. They are looking to understand the range of available nodes they could use for repeatable experiments. Eventually, they will need to specify a particular node in order to do repeatable experiments. I don't think ESI has any of these capabilities yet, so we would consider adding these. Right now it is just an information-gathering request.

Completion Criteria

Some formats of information are easily shareable and sent to the PEAKS team.

Description

[ ] Gather a list of all nodes available on ESI
[ ] Gather Hardware information for each (CPU type, CPU Clock frequency, number of cores, RAM, NIC (connection speed))
[ ] Add all of this information to this ticket to start
[ ] Decide if we need it in a different format or if we need to create a website or some other display format

Completion dates

Desired - 2024-02-21 Required - TBD

@hakasapl do we already have the FX2 nodes added to netbox?
