Power consumption state test method

Abstract

Disclosed is a power consumption state testing method which is used for a central processing unit of a data processing device. The data processing device has a transmission unit, a first storage unit and a second storage unit; and the corresponding central processing unit benchmark power parameter value generated by the central processing unit under different testing modes is extracted through the transmission unit and is stored in the first storage unit. Meanwhile, the driver required for subsequent test is extracted from the second storage unit to start the corresponding testing mode, and the central processing unit power consumption state actual output value under the testing mode is read through the transmission unit and is stored in the first storage unit. Finally, the central processing unit power consumption state actual output value and the central processing unit benchmark power parameter value are compared under the same testing mode, and the corresponding power consumption state testing result is obtained, so various disadvantages caused by the existing central processing unit power consumption testing are avoided.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a power consumption state test technology, in particular to a power consumption state test method for the central processing unit of a data processing device such as a computer device in different test modes to perform a power consumption state test processing operation. Background technique [0002] In order to ensure the normal execution of various functions of the computer device during the user's use, the staff must perform the test and verification of various functions after completing the complex computer hardware assembly operation. For example, in order to ensure that the operating system of the computer device can perform the power management function normally, how to test various power consumption states is an extremely important issue. [0003] In a computer device, a central processing unit (Central Processor Unit; CPU) is its core component, and the power consumption state of the CPU is an important perform...

Problems solved by technology

Usually, the operating system also provides management modes such as user management (Userspace Governor), performance management (Performance Governor), and power saving management (Powersave Governor). Obviously, the current CPU power consumption test is not comprehensive enough; in addition, Before the above test steps are executed, the power management module (Powernow Module) needs to be loaded in the Linux operating system, and because of the loading of the power management module, the kernel file (kernel) of the Linux operating system needs to be recompiled before The above-mentioned test operations can be carried out, so it will undoubtedly consume a lot of test time; moreover, the above-mentioned test steps are basically to manually record the values ​​of each parameter and perform subsequent comparison and judgment operations, which is time-consuming and laborious, and may be delayed due to artificial processing reactions Inability to collect data in real time to get the most accurate test results
