Abstract
The present disclosure is directed to capability determination for computing resource allocation. A device may comprise a management engine (ME) to determine device information for use in generating an enhanced universally unique identifier (UUID) based on a UUID corresponding to the device. The ME may interact with equipment in the device to obtain the device information, and may augment the UUID using at least part of the device information. Device information may include a device media access control (MAC) address, a central processing unit (CPU) identification (ID) for at least one CPU in the device and a device capability ID. The capability ID may be generated utilizing capability information obtained from the equipment, and may be encoded into the capability ID based on tables that describe different capabilities. The device may provide the enhanced UUID to a group agent that may group the device with other devices comprising similar capabilities.
