Mike:

In the short term, we really just need numeric data: specifically, how many 
GPUs are available on each compute node. 

More generally, I can imagine having different nodes with different kinds of 
hardware. In that case, we need info about the GPUs (e.g., nvidia fermi) as 
well as how many are free. However, this qualitative information about the GPU 
doesn't need to live in the Capacity Cache, since it doesn't really change over 
time for a given compute node.
