Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of network card driver management of intelligent terminal equipment, and in particular to a dynamic network card driver management system, method, device and equipment for intelligent terminals. Background Art

[0002] With the development of multiple technologies, mobile smart devices will be packaged with CPUs of different performances to complete different tasks. On the one hand, a CPU with a higher architecture level will bring better performance, but on the other hand, it will also bring higher power consumption. For example, at the same network rate of 1.6 Gbps, although one Cortex A76 or two Cortex A55s can meet the requirements of this network rate, if both are calculated at a main frequency of 0.65 Hz, the power consumption of the A76 core is 5 times greater than that of the A55. Here we only take the core processors of two types of CPUs with different performances as examples, and are not limited to the core processors of these two types of CPU architectures. The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to minimize power consumption while meeting the operating network rate.

[0003] With the advent of the 5G era and the development of multi-CPU technology, the requirements for network speed are getting higher and higher, but the optimization of power consumption is also becoming more and more important. Especially for products like mobile phones, if you want to run a network speed of 1.6Gbps, if you directly use a CPU with an architecture like A76 to process network packets, although it is beneficial to the CPU occupancy rate, in fact, a CPU with an architecture like A55 can also meet this network speed requirement, and the power consumption is lower, and the user experience will be better.

[0004] The prior art of the present invention is to bind the interrupt of IPA (IP packet hardware accelerator) to the multi-core of CPU one by one, and trigger the corresponding interrupt when there is data in the queue of IPA, and call the corresponding CPU to process the interrupt.

[0005] The above existing solutions have two disadvantages:

[0006] 1. When the CPU usage of a core processor of a CPU is already very high due to the occupation of other threads, when a large amount of network data arrives, this CPU still has to handle related interrupts, and it will not be able to handle it all, affecting the network rate.

[0007] 2. When data comes from the queue of the IPA corresponding to the large core, the interrupt corresponding to the large core is triggered. At this time, the large core handles the interrupt, and the power consumption directly increases a lot. Summary of the invention

[0008] Based on the above situation, the present invention aims to design a solution that can automatically and dynamically handle the network card driver switching IPA single / multi-queue pairing of different core processors. It can solve the two technical problems of the above-mentioned prior art at the same time, and thus can greatly improve the CPU resource utilization and reduce power consumption without affecting the network speed.

[0009] In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present invention provides a dynamic network card driver management system for an intelligent terminal, comprising: at least one CPU including multiple core processors, a network adapter card, and an IPA queue manager; wherein the IPA queue manager is used to dynamically match and bind and / or unbind the network card driver IPA queue with the core processors of different performance (main frequency) according to the status of the multiple core processors, the status of the network adapter card, and the status of the IPA queue.

[0010] The beneficial effect of the dynamic network card driver management system for smart terminals provided by the embodiment of the present invention is that the present invention aims to dynamically, flexibly and intelligently bind the IPA queue to the core processor of the CPU by real-time detection of CPU occupancy, network adapter card mode, network speed, etc., thereby greatly improving CPU resource utilization and reducing CPU power consumption while meeting network speed.

[0011] In a further embodiment, the network adapter card comprises a (wireless) network adapter card.

[0012] Furthermore, in the system, the intelligent terminal includes a smart phone, a tablet computer, a handheld computer, a PC, a cellular phone, a PDA, a wearable device, a smart home device, a car computer, a game console, an AR device or a VR device.

[0013] In a further implementation, the system includes a scene judger. When the IPA is in a single queue, the scene judger needs to judge whether the IPA at this time is bound to a low-performance core processor or a high-performance core processor; when the IPA is in multiple queues, the scene judger needs to judge whether the IPA at this time is bound to multiple low-performance core processors or to both a low-performance core processor and a high-performance core processor.

[0014] In a further implementation, the CPU includes at least 3 high-performance core processors, such as CortexA76, and 4 low-performance core processors, such as CortexA55.

Normal mode is an ordinary mode, which requires IPA hardware to do some routing. Bypass mode is mainly for mobile phone Internet access, and normal mode is for USB sharing scenarios.

[0018] Furthermore, the IPA queue manager is also used to switch the IPA queue and the binding relationship with the core processor in the corresponding CPU according to the measurement results of the network speed meter and the mode determiner.

[0019] In some other embodiments, the IPA queue manager is further used to switch the binding relationship between the IPA queue and the core processor corresponding to the low occupancy rate according to the measurement result of the CPU occupancy rate meter.

[0021] It is worth mentioning that the method steps of obtaining the first judgment basis, obtaining the second judgment basis, obtaining the third judgment basis and obtaining the current scene state in the above steps do not strictly limit the order of implementation or the relationship between the previous and the next implementation.

[0022] Furthermore, during the initialization phase, the single queue mode of IPA is used, and the interrupt is bound to a low-performance core processor.

[0023] In some other embodiments, the current scene state includes an IPA single queue bound to a certain low-performance core processor, an IPA single queue bound to a certain high-performance core processor, an IPA multiple queues bound to multiple low-performance core processors in sequence, or an IPA multiple queues bound to both multiple low-performance core processors and multiple high-performance core processors.

[0024] In some further embodiments, the first judgment basis provided by the network speed measuring device is a comparison result between the network speed and a set first threshold value, such as 1 Gbps.

[0025] In some further embodiments, the network card mode determiner provides the second determination basis as that the IPA is in bypass mode or normal mode.

[0026] In some further embodiments, the third judgment basis provided by the CPU occupancy rate measuring device is a comparison result between the CPU occupancy rate and a set second threshold value, such as 70%.

[0028] A network speed measuring device, used to measure the network speed of the network adapter card;

[0029] A CPU occupancy rate measuring device, comprising a plurality of core processor CPU occupancy rate measuring devices, for measuring the timed occupancy rates of all the core processors;

[0030] A mode determiner, used to determine whether the IPA is in bypass mode or normal mode;

[0031] A scene determiner, used to determine the scene state of any of the core processors and the bound IPA queues;

[0032] The IPA queue manager is used to dynamically match and bind and / or unbind the network card driver IPA queue with the core processors of different performances according to the status of the multiple core processors, the status of the network adapter card, and the status of the IPA queue.

[0047] The dynamic network card driver management system 200 of the intelligent terminal provided in the embodiment of the present invention is as follows: Figure 1 The present invention provides a dynamic network card driver management system for a smart terminal.

[0048] At least one CPU 210 including multiple core processors, a network adapter card 220, and an IPA queue manager 110; wherein the IPA queue manager 110 is used to determine the status of the multiple core processors, the status of the network adapter card 220, and the status of the IPA (IP accelerator) queue;

[0049] , dynamically matching the network card driver IPA queue to bind and / or unbind the core processors with different performance (main frequency). An embodiment provided by the present invention is specifically that the 8 cores of the Exynos9820CPU include 2 M4 core processors, 2 high-performance CortexA76 core processors, and 4 low-performance CortexA55 core processors.

[0050] In the system, the intelligent terminal further includes a smart phone, a tablet computer, a handheld computer, a PC, a cellular phone, a laptop computer, a PDA, a wearable device, a smart home device, a car computer, a game console, an AR device or a VR device.

[0051] In some possible embodiments, based on Figure 1 or Figure 3 The dynamic network card driver management system and the dynamic network card driver management device shown in the embodiment of the present invention provide a flow chart of a method for managing a dynamic network card driver of an intelligent terminal, such as Figure 2 As shown, in the initialization phase S100, the single queue mode of IPA is used, and the interrupt is bound to a core processor CPU0, such as a certain A55.

[0052] A method for managing a dynamic network card driver for an intelligent terminal is applied to an intelligent terminal device, wherein the intelligent terminal device comprises: a network adapter card and a CPU comprising multiple core processors; the management method further comprises step S200: a network speed measuring device is used to measure the measured network speed of the network adapter card, and provide a first judgment basis for the IPA queue manager; step S300: a mode judge is used to judge the mode of the network adapter card, and provide a second judgment basis for the IPA queue manager; step S400: a CPU occupancy rate measuring device is used to measure the measured occupancy rate of the CPU, and provide a third judgment basis for the IPA queue manager; step S500: a scene judge is used to judge the current scene state among four states; the IPA queue manager is used to dynamically switch the single / multi-queue mode of the IPA queue according to the current scene state and the first, second and third judgment bases, and bind with the matching core processor.

[0053] It is worth mentioning that the method steps of the above steps S200\S300 and S400 do not strictly limit the order of implementation. For example, the third judgment basis of occupancy data can be obtained first, and then the first judgment basis of network speed data can be obtained. There is no emphasis on the order of these current scene states and the first, second and third judgment bases. They can be obtained or measured at the same time or in sequence.

[0054] In some embodiments, the dynamic network card driver management method includes: the current scene state includes an IPA single queue and is bound to a certain low-performance core processor, an IPA single queue and is bound to a certain high-performance core processor, an IPA multiple queue and is bound to multiple low-performance core processors in sequence, or an IPA multiple queue and is bound to multiple low-performance core processors and multiple high-performance core processors. The scene judger is used to determine the current scene state from the above four states.

[0055] In a possible case, the dynamic network card driver management method includes: the first judgment basis provided by the network speed measuring device is a comparison result of the network speed and a set first threshold, specifically, 1 Gbps.

[0056] In a possible implementation manner, the dynamic network card driver management method includes: a network card mode determiner provides the second determination basis that the IPA is in bypass mode or normal mode.

[0057] In a possible implementation, the third judgment basis provided by the CPU occupancy rate measuring device is a comparison result between the CPU occupancy rate and a set second threshold value, such as 70%.

[0058] In addition, in a possible implementation, as Figure 4 As shown in the flowchart of a dynamic network card driver flexibly binding a core processor provided by an embodiment of the present invention, it includes a method for managing a dynamic network card driver for a smart terminal. In the initialization phase, the single queue mode of IPA is used, and the interrupt is bound to a certain kernel core processor CPU0, such as a certain A55. CPU0~CPU1 are the serial numbers of CPUs with different performances, and core0~core6 are the serial numbers of the core processors. IPA (IP accelerator) is a hardware accelerator for IP packets. In another embodiment provided by the present invention, a CPU includes 4 A55 core processors and 3 A76 core processors.

[0059] When there is data transmission, it is traversed once per second. At this stage, there are 4 states: IPA single queue and bound to a certain A55, IPA single queue and bound to a certain A76, IPA multiple queues and bound to 4 A55s in sequence, IPA multiple queues and bound to both A55 and A76. There are mainly 4 states: 1. IPA is a single queue and bound to a certain A55, 2. IPA is a single queue and bound to A76, IPA multiple queues and bound to 4 A55s in sequence, and IPA multiple queues and bound to both A55 and A76.

[0060] Scenario status 1. Traversing the program, it is found that IPA is a single queue and bound to a certain A55

[0061] (1) When the network rate is less than 1 Gbps, a core processor with low occupancy is selected from the four A55s and bound to the interrupt.

[0062] (2) When the network rate is less than 1 Gbps but the occupancy of each core is high or the network rate is greater than 1 Gbps, if it is in bypass mode, switch to IPA multi-queue and bind to four A55s in sequence. If it is in normal mode, switch to IPA single queue and bind to A76.

[0063] Scene state 2. Traversing the program, it is found that IPA is a single queue and bound to A76 at this time

[0064] (1) When the network rate is less than 1 Gbps, select a CPU with low occupancy among the four A55s and bind it to the interrupt.

[0065] (2) When the network rate is greater than 1 Gbps, if it is in bypass mode, switch to IPA multi-queue and bind to the four A55s in sequence. If it is in normal mode, traverse the four A55s and select an A55 with the lowest occupancy rate to bind to the interrupt.

[0066] Scene state 3. Traversing the program, it is found that IPA has multiple queues and is bound to 4 A55s in sequence

[0067] (1) When the network rate is less than 1 Gbps, it is cut into a single queue and a CPU with low occupancy is selected from the four A55s to be bound to the interrupt.

[0068] (2) When the network rate is greater than 1 Gbps, if it is in normal mode, switch to single queue, traverse the occupancy of A76, select a CPU with the lowest occupancy and bind it to the interrupt; if it is in bypass mode, bind it to A55 and A76 according to the occupancy.

[0069] Scene state 4. Traversing the program, it is found that IPA has multiple queues and is bound to both A55 and A76

[0070] (1) When the network rate is less than 1 Gbps, it is cut into a single queue and a CPU with low occupancy is selected from the four A55s to be bound to the interrupt.

[0071] (2) When the network rate is greater than 1 Gbps, if it is in bypass mode, and the occupancy rate of A76 is less than 70% and the occupancy rates of the four A55s are all less than 70%, maintain the IPA multi-queue and bind the four A55s and the four interrupts in sequence; if it is in normal mode, switch to the IPA single queue and bind it to A76.

[0072] Therefore, the overall idea of ​​flexible multi-queue is to flexibly bind interrupts to different CPUs according to the network rate and CPU occupancy. For the user environment, if there is a high network rate upload or download, it may be switched to a CPU with a higher main frequency; if it is just a normal WeChat chat, it will be switched back to a CPU with a lower main frequency.

[0073] It is worth mentioning that Bypass mode can be understood as a direct mode, where network data is sent directly to the core processor without going through hardware routing, and normal mode is a normal mode that requires IPA hardware to do some routing. Bypass mode is mainly for mobile Internet access, and normal mode is for USB sharing scenarios. Data is also transferred from the network adapter card through the network card driver, and then transferred to the USB to the PC or smart hardware.

[0074] In a further embodiment, Figure 3 As shown in the structural diagram of a dynamic network card driver management device provided by an embodiment of the present invention, a dynamic network card driver management device 100 includes:

[0075] A network speed measuring device 150, used to measure the network speed of the network adapter card;

[0076] The CPU occupancy rate measuring device 140 includes a plurality of core processor CPU occupancy rate measuring devices, and is used to measure the time-measured occupancy rates of all the core processors;

[0077] A mode determiner 130, used to determine whether the IPA is in bypass mode or normal mode;

[0078] A scene determiner 120, used to determine the scene state of any of the core processors and the bound IPA queues;

[0079] The IPA queue manager 110 is used to dynamically match and bind and / or unbind the network card driver IPA queue with the core processors of different performances according to the status of the multiple core processors, the status of the network adapter card, and the status of the IPA queue.

[0080] In a possible implementation, the scenario judger 120 needs to judge whether the IPA at this time is bound to a low-performance core processor or a high-performance core processor; when the IPA is in multiple queues, the scenario judger needs to judge whether the IPA at this time is bound to multiple low-performance core processors or to both a low-performance core processor and a high-performance core processor.

[0081] The system also includes a network speed measuring device, which is used to measure the network speed of the network adapter card and provide a first judgment basis for the IPA queue manager.

[0082] In a possible implementation, the system further includes a CPU occupancy rate measuring device, which ergodicly measures the time-measured occupancy rates of all the core processors to provide a third judgment basis for the IPA queue manager.

[0083] In a possible implementation, the system further includes an IPA (network card) mode determiner, which is used to determine whether the mode of the IPA at that time is bypass mode or normal mode, and provide a second judgment basis for the IPA queue manager.

[0084] In a possible implementation manner, the IPA queue manager in the system is further used to dynamically switch the IPA queue and the binding relationship with the corresponding CPU according to the measurement results of the network speed meter and the mode determiner.
