icsystemutils 0.0.2

Utilities for interacting with system resources, e.g. cpu, network etc.

icsystemutils is a Python package with some low-level utilities for interacting with real system resources (cpu, gpu, network etc).

It is maintained by the Irish Centre for High End Computing (ICHEC), mostly as a dependency of high-level packages and tools used to support ICHEC research and workflows.

It is made public in support of Open Science - however it is primarily intended as an internal tool to support our activities.

The project aims to:

• Build a common set of low-level utilities for interacting with system resources for ICHEC activities
• Keep dependencies to a minimum - bearing in mind many more established and capable tools exist, but with more dependencies and features than we may need
• Build software development, packaging and delivery experience at ICHEC

The project does not aim to:

• Replace any established tool in this area - if there is a more suitable tool it should be used, this project is just a fallback for use under certain conditions - e.g. dependency issues or complexity in other tools.
