Method for adjusting clock period and calculating system

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for adjusting clock period and a computing system which belong to the computer field. The method includes: processing load monitor to a functional module of system and obtaining the load monitor result, when the result being busy, reducing clock period of the functional module; when the result being leisure, prolonging clock period of the functional module. The computer system includes: a load monitoring module and an adjustable module. The invention processes grade division to an adjustable distributing circuit for providing system clock period, changes the system clock period accordingly after processes load state monitor for each functional load state of large scale computer system, in particularly uses weighing computing aiming at memory module, constitutes adjustable scheme of the computer system clock period, and makes system optimizing effective working condition based on operation period of business, realizes purpose of reducing system energy consumption, and has great application value for saving energy consumption and reducing power consumption.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of computers, in particular to a method and a computing system for adjusting a clock cycle. Background technique [0002] Large-scale computing systems are widely used in industry and other fields because they can complete a large amount of data calculation and storage. At present, large-scale computing systems can be divided into different types: centralized computing systems, tightly coupled distributed computing systems, etc. When working in a large-scale computing system, each hardware unit in the functional module of the system needs to have a unified system physical clock cycle, and then the operating system generates a system for the functional module to perform transaction processing according to the respective system physical clock cycle of the functional module. The logic clock cycle ensures the coordinated operation of each functional module and completes the normal work of the large-scale computing system....

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

During the working period of a large-scale computing system, some functional modules in the system will be in an idle state when a certain transaction is being processed, and the system physical clock of each functional module is unchanged when processing this transaction, so it will The functional modules that are in the idle state still work according to the set physical clock cycle, which leads to the waste of AC power and consumes energy

For example: when using a large-scale computing system for financial and accounting settlement transactions, the memory module and other modules in the functional module are required to process the business, and the network module may be in an idle state at this time, but the network module in the idle state is still To work according to the original system physical clock, it will cause a waste of AC power supplied to the network module
