Abstract
A computer program product may include storage media embodying program instructions executable by a baseboard management controller (BMC) within a compute node to: receive a request to install a central processing unit (CPU) in the compute node; identify a current hardware configuration of the compute node; identify a plurality of available locations within the compute node that are compatible with installation of the CPU; calculate, for each of the identified plurality of available locations, a predicted performance score for the CPU on the basis that the CPU were to be installed in the available location, wherein the predicted performance scores are calculated in response to receiving the request; select a location from among the plurality of available locations that is associated with the greatest performance score for the CPU; and generate user output indicating the selected location where the CPU should be installed.
