Aspects of the invention include a computer-implemented method, in which includes determining whether a combination of a first commodity and a computing system satisfies a manufacturing requirement. Additionally, whether a combination of a second commodity and the computing system satisfies the manufacturing requirement is predicted based at least in part on a comparison of the combination of the first commodity and the computing system and the combination of the second commodity and the computing system. Then either the first commodity or the second commodity is inserted into a computer system based at least in part on a comparison of an actual performance of the first commodity and a predicted performance of the second commodity in the computing system.

Commodity fulfillment

Aspects of the invention include receiving an error code describing a computer hardware or firmware error. A list of data items to be collected to assist in correcting the error is received. The contents of the list are selected based at least in part on the error code and are in priority order. The data items in the list are collected and a buffer to store the collected data items is selected. At least a subset of the collected data items to be written is transmitted to the buffer. All of the collected data items are transmitted to the buffer when the buffer is large enough to hold all of the data items in the list. A subset of the collected data items are transmitted to the buffer in priority order when the buffer is not large enough to hold all of the data in the list.

Dynamic logging and prioritization of error incident data

Aspects of the invention include receiving an error code describing a computer hardware or firmware error. A list of data items to be collected to assist in correcting the error is built. The contents of the list are selected based at least in part on the error code and are in priority order. The data items in the list are collected and a buffer to store the collected data items is selected. At least a subset of the collected data items to be written is transmitted to the buffer. All of the collected data items are transmitted to the buffer when the buffer is large enough to hold all of the data items in the list. A subset of the collected data items are transmitted to the buffer in priority order when the buffer is not large enough to hold all of the data in the list.
