A hardware acceleration method and related equipment

Abstract

A hardware acceleration method and related equipment, the hardware acceleration method includes: a functional entity determines the type and size of the hardware acceleration resources needed in the virtualized network element VNF ​​to be accelerated in the management domain of the functional entity (201), and the functional entity The entity determines a target virtual infrastructure manager VIM (202), and the functional entity deploys the VNF to be accelerated to a target host in the management domain of the target VIM through the target VIM (203). The functional entity deploys the VNF to be accelerated to a target host whose size of hardware matching resources is greater than the size of hardware acceleration resources required in the VNF to be accelerated, so that the hardware acceleration resources required by the VNF to be accelerated The type of the target host can be matched with the type of the hardware matching resource of the target host, so that the hardware matching resource of the target host can meet the acceleration requirement of the VNF to be accelerated, and effectively improve the performance of the VNF to be accelerated.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of cloud computing, in particular to a hardware acceleration method and related equipment. Background technique [0002] Cloud computing is the distribution of computing operations on distributed virtual computing resources. Through the network central data center, enterprises or users can switch resources to different applications they need, and access different computers and storage systems according to their needs. Cloud computing is distributed computing (Distributed Computing), parallel computing (Parallel Computing), utility computing (Utility Computing), network storage (Network Storage), virtualization (Virtualization), and load balancing (Load Balance) and other traditional computers and networks The product of the convergence of technological developments. [0003] As a very complex large-scale software system, the cloud computing system contains many modules and components. The cloud architecture i...

Problems solved by technology

[0006] Under the existing architecture, MANO knows nothing about the resources to be accelerated in the VNF and the acceleration units of the Host. In the process of deploying the VNF to the Host, the existing technology uses random or sequential Deployed on the hosts of each DC, because the existing technical solutions cannot match the accelerated resources required by the VNF and the types of accelerated resources that the host can provide, so it is easy to cause the type of resources to be accelerated in the VNF and the type of resources deployed on the host. If the type of acceleration resources does not match, the acceleration resources of the Host where the VNF resides cannot meet the acceleration requirements of the VNF, thus degrading the performance of the VNF.
