Method for testing dynamic power consumption of servers

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for testing dynamic power consumption of servers, and belongs to the field of tests for power consumption of servers. The method includes particular steps of 1, constructing SPECpower test platforms and preparing test environments; 2, running SUT (system under test) ends and CCS (central control station) ends; 3, carrying out SPECpower tests on the SUT ends and the CCS ends and running scripts for reading data of power consumption of various components; 4, collecting test results after the tests are completed and processing and analyzing the test results. The method has the advantages that the shortcoming that data of dynamic power consumption of different components of integral machines under different load conditions cannot be acquired by PTU (parallel transmission unit), memtest, IOmeter test tools and the like can be overcome, the accuracy and the validity of the test data can be improved, and the conversion efficiency of power sources further can be evaluated when different types of power are outputted by the power sources; the method for testing the dynamic power consumption of the servers is simple in operation and high in automation degree and practicality, labor can be saved, the accuracy of the data of the dynamic power consumption of the various components of the servers can be effectively guaranteed, and the method is an extremely effective method for testing the dynamic power consumption of the various components of the servers.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention discloses a test method for server power consumption, which belongs to the field of server power consumption test, in particular to a test method for server dynamic power consumption. Background technique [0002] Under the current background of energy conservation and emission reduction, server power consumption data has increasingly become a concern of many customers. At present, domestic server energy consumption has taken up a large amount of investment of enterprises, and power consumption has become the three major measurement standards of server products alongside performance and cost. It is urgent to carry out in-depth research on server energy-saving technology, and the test of server power consumption is the basis for realizing power consumption management. The real-time dynamic power consumption of servers can be accurately measured on the basis of close to the application environment. manage. The current server power consump...
