Thank you Ralph and Jeff.
This was the list I was hoping to read through hwloc.
3. Memory
a. Total memory
b. Total DIMMS
c. Individual DIMM's:
(i) Serial numbers
(ii) Vendor Name
(iii) Model
(iv) Memory Frequency
4a. Network Adapters (Ethernet)
a. Model
b. Speed
c. Serial Number (if applicable)
d. MAC address
4b. Network Adapters (Infiniband)
a. Model
b. Speed
c. Serial Number (if applicable)
d. MAC address
4. Host Bus Adapters
a. Manufacturer
b. Serial Number
c. MAC address
6. Coprocessors
a. Manufacturer
b. Serial Number
7. Other PCI Devices
a. Device ID
b. Device Serial number (if applicable)
8. HardDrive
a. Model, Form factor, etc.
b. Vendor
c. Serial Number
d. Size
Some of it is already provided by HWLOC. For some other items, a limited set of
information is provided by HWLOC.
Most of the DIMM related data is provided by the SMBIOS tables. 'dmidecode'
provides a lot of this information.
The application hdparm provides a lot of information about hard drives. I
glanced over their code, and it seems like they also udev to retrieve the
information.
* For Memory, I would suggest have a single object for each node and list the
DIMM details as attributes for that object.
* For hard drives, we can have similar objects for each SATA0.., etc node,
whose lanes are usually connected via the PCH to a single socket. Each hard
drive can have its own object, and all the attributes of the hard drive can be
stored within that object.
* For the PCI devices I understand it is not simple to read the serial number
and UUID details, but I know how to read the serial numbers for some
products(like the Intel coprocessors) and it would be really cool to add this
also as an attribute to it.
I'm still not entirely familiar with the hwloc's internal architecture, I
apologize in case I make any wrong assumptions.
How would you like me to proceed from here?
Thanks,
Vineet

Indeed there's a struct hd_driveid in linux/hdreg.h that you get with ioctl
HDIO_GET_IDENTITY on the device.
There's also a libblkid that may help.
