Is there a way to discover the specific CPU model and frequency of each host machine?
I tried fablib.list_hosts() but do not see this information listed.The use case is:
- I want to benchmark a simulation program for its wall-clock runtime.
- Only one instance of the simulation program can run in each VM.
- I want to run multiple instances in different VMs, but do not want to force all VMs to be placed on the same site or same physical host.
- For the mean and stdev of the runtime to be meaningful, every VM needs to have the same CPU model.
- If others want to verify my results, they can also create VMs at physical hosts with the same CPU model, assuming it is still available.
Thus, I hope there’s a way to discover this information through API, so that I can choose appropriate physical hosts to create the VMs.
Hi YoursSunny,
Thank you for reaching out! This information is not currently exposed through the API. However, it is documented here and may be helpful:
https://learn.fabric-testbed.net/knowledge-base/fabric-site-hardware-configurations/I’ll also raise this with our team to discuss whether we can extend the API to support this in the future.
Best regards,
KomalThe “FABRIC Site Hardware Configurations” webpage only says “AMD 7532 or 7543”, but doesn’t specify which site/node has which CPU model. Moreover, I’m seeing EPYC 7H12 at EDC site: it’s the same generation as 7532 but has a higher frequency, which would yield different results for a compute benchmark.
I see there’s a “FABRIC NVMe Drives” webpage that lists the specific NVMe model for each site. Maybe there could be another webpage for the CPU model as well?
