Abstract
Embodiments described herein include techniques for providing information regarding a hardware part using a scannable code so that a customer can make an informed decision when placing the hardware part in a larger computing system. A customer may purchase hardware parts that are categorized into a certain bin which has guaranteed range of power consumption or performance. The customer may over design the computing system to accommodate the worst parameter in the range (e.g., the minimum performance or the maximum power consumption) to ensure the timing or power specifications are not violated. Instead, the embodiments herein provide a scannable code on the hardware part which the customer can use to access a database which stores more granular information about the part. The customer can use the performance parameters to make better informed decisions to determine where to place the part in the computing system.
