Hardware Profile Library

PowerDesigner provides a hardware profile library (in the Library folder in the installation directory) to store detailed technical information about hardware servers that can be used to model IQ reference architectures or as shortcuts in other models.

• Importing Profiles from the SPEC Website
  PowerDesigner provides sample hardware profiles downloaded from the Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation (SPEC) website (www.spec.org), with SPECint2006 Rates benchmark data. You can download additional profiles from the site and import them into your library.
• Hardware Profile Library Properties
  A hardware profile library has more properties than a standard EAM.
