Business-based server energy-saving system and method

Abstract

The invention discloses a business-based server energy-saving system and method. The system comprises an energy-saving server, an energy-saving management module, a resource monitoring module and an energy-saving strategy resolving module. The energy-saving server comprises a BMC (baseboard management controller) chip and a PMBUS (power management bus) power supply. The energy-saving management module sets a NodeManager energy-saving strategy on the energy-saving server and sets a highest power consumption threshold and a highest temperature threshold for a current energy-saving strategy. The resource monitoring module starts to monitor CPU (central processing unit) usage of the energy-saving server during setting of the energy-saving strategy. The energy-saving strategy resolving module receives and analyzes resource monitoring data from the resource monitoring module and determines burden of the energy-saving server running a current business. Compared with the prior art, the business-based server energy-saving system and method has the advantages that the energy-saving strategy of the energy-saving server is adjusted in real time at the premise of not affecting running of the current business, and the problem that blind reduction in CPU clock frequency during the execution of the energy-saving strategy for energy-saving management of the traditional server leads to influence upon running of businesses is solved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of computer application technology, in particular to a highly practical and service-based server energy-saving system and method. Background technique [0002] In recent years, with the rapid development of the Internet industry, the number of servers in the network is increasing day by day, and the unified and efficient management of servers based on the network is playing an increasingly important role. At the same time, today's energy-saving management of servers has become the focus of attention of many Internet manufacturers as energy costs are rising day by day. [0003] At present, the most mature server energy-saving technology is Intel's NodeManager technology. figure 1 As shown, the BMC chip on the motherboard forcibly lowers the operating frequency of the server CPU so that the power consumption of the server or the temperature of the motherboard is lower than a preset threshold, thereby achieving the purp...

Problems solved by technology

However, this NodeManager-based server energy-saving technology has nothing to do with business. Although it has a good energy-saving effect, it does not take into account the business load of the server. When the server is busy, its CPU utilization is already close to or equal to 100%. At this time, if the NodeManager energy-saving strategy is forced to be used, it will inevitably affect the business running on the server, and even cause irreparable losses to the business.

[0004] Based on this, a service-based server energy-saving system and method are provided to solve the problem that traditional server energy-saving management blindly executes energy-saving strategies without considering the busy business, which results in service operation being blocked or even service collapse.
