I believe that is what we are requesting - and to be clear, Intel is proposing to develop and contribute this feature. We'd like to add attributes to the objects to record: * memory - the serial number and model number of the DIMMs * disks - serial, model, manufacturer and any other available info (sometimes they have spindle speed, for example) HWLOC already provides similar info for processors and mother boards, so it seemed a natural extension of current capabilities to provide it for other system elements. > > I'm taking the liberty of moving this thread to the devel list; this seems > more like a development kind of issue. > > Vineet -- can you reply on this list, and not the hwloc-users list?
