Extend/correct/update databases of processors and accelerators

[decarvalhojunior-fh]

• Initially, there are databases for Intel (processors and accelerators), AMD (processors and accelerators), and NVIDIA (accelerators).
• Contributors are invited to update databases in the following ways:
  • by inserting new accelerators and processors;
  • by providing missing information about accelerators and processors in the current databases;
  • by correcting wrong information about accelerators and processors in the current databases;
  • by inserting new databases, for different vendors.
• In order to introduce new accelerators and processors, it is needed to create new platform types.

We are working on documentation to explain how to update databases and platform types. When this documentation is ready, we will post a comment on this issue. For now, talk to the main project maintainer for instructions.
