Message also described the hpses as "deprecated". Should we de-list them?

jameslzhu commented 5 years ago

Update from EECS ISG, looks like they want to keep the hpse computers on the list, and will submit a pull request when they are decomissioned (not just deprecated).

This is echoing what I said on email chain, but I want to hear thoughts on if it's worth setting up some information about what the hardware/software available hosts in the frontend here?

jameslzhu commented 5 years ago

'Software available' seems very under-specified and potentially enormous (apt packages? Python packages? language interpreter versions?), but I imagine basic hardware stats might be more consistent, assuming a Linux system with /proc/cpuinfo, /proc/meminfo and lspci.

This does sound like a lot of parsing work, however, and could quickly devolve into spaghetti stats without some disciplined approach.

The hpses, some c125-ms, (and presumably also these new ones) have cadence, vivado, modelsim, and some other proprietary tools on them which is what I was thinking of when I wrote that - short blurbs written by us like "Has software for: digital ICCAD, analog ICCAD"

That sounds good to me, I was thinking of at least mentioning number of CPUs, memory available, OS version, that kind of thing
