Technical Field

[0002] As the fundamental carrier of information services, servers place high demands on network transmission speeds. Servers must guarantee sufficient bandwidth for data transmission, that is, the rate at which data is received or sent. If the server's data reception or transmission rate does not meet the requirements, data loss may occur, posing an irreparable risk. Servers typically use network interface cards (NICs) to receive and send data; therefore, proper NIC configuration to ensure high performance and thus meet the server's data transmission bandwidth requirements is crucial. Furthermore, to verify server data transmission rates, bandwidth testing is now conducted. Inappropriate NIC configuration may cause the server to fail the bandwidth testing, affecting the evaluation of the server's data transmission performance. Summary of the Invention

[0045] The core of this invention is to provide a method for regulating the operation of a server network interface card (NIC) and related components, which can ensure the transmission rate of the NIC and the reliability of data transmission.

[0046] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0047] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 This invention provides a flowchart of a server network interface card (NIC) operation control method, which includes:

[0048] S1: Obtain the theoretical maximum transmission rate of the network card, and allocate the central processing unit resources and memory resources in the server to the network card according to the preset allocation ratio to meet the network card's requirements for the theoretical maximum transmission rate;

[0049] S2: Determine the data transmission rate of the physical link corresponding to the network card, and limit the actual data transmission rate of the network card to within the data transmission rate of the physical link. The physical link includes the link used by the network card to send and receive data.

[0050] S3: After allocating central processing unit resources and memory resources to the network card according to a preset allocation ratio and limiting the actual data transmission rate of the network card to within the data transmission rate of the physical link, the control server receives and sends data through the network card.

[0051] As the fundamental carrier of information services, servers place high demands on network transmission speeds. This means ensuring the data transmission rate through the network interface card (NIC) and preventing the loss of data received or sent by the server. Loss of either received or sent data can cause irreparable damage to customers.

[0052] Furthermore, related technologies involve performing bandwidth testing on servers. This includes connecting the server to a switch to test the bidirectional data transmission rate between them and to detect data loss during transmission. If the server's data transmission rate via its network interface card (NIC) does not meet the requirements, it will fail the bandwidth test and may even experience data loss. Therefore, properly configuring the NIC in the server to ensure sufficient bandwidth and reliable data transmission and reception is crucial.

[0053] It should be noted that the execution subject of the server operation control method provided in this application is the processor running BIOS (Basic Input Output System) firmware in the server. The BIOS provides the lowest level and most direct hardware control for the server.

[0054] For servers, resolving the issue of insufficient data transfer rates from network interface cards (NICs) requires optimizing NIC performance settings in the server firmware (BIOS) to match the NIC configuration with the server's overall configuration. NIC performance is typically fixed; to achieve this, server hardware resources, including CPU and memory resources, need adjustment. Ideally, CPU and memory resources should be allocated towards the NIC to maximize its theoretical maximum data transfer rate. Normally, CPU and memory resources are distributed evenly across server components. However, this application allocates CPU and memory resources to the NIC according to a preset ratio. The specific value of this preset ratio is not limited and can be adjusted based on actual usage scenarios, ensuring that the NIC's theoretical maximum data transfer rate is achieved. Furthermore, in practical applications, network cards plugged into servers are configured via PCIe (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express, a high-speed serial computer expansion bus standard), thus allowing the network card to achieve its theoretical maximum transmission rate.

[0055] Furthermore, when allocating CPU and memory resources in the server to the network interface card (NIC) according to a preset ratio, it is sufficient to meet the maximum requirements of the NIC; excessive resources should not be allocated to the NIC, which could negatively impact the overall server operation. While ensuring the NIC is used at its optimal state, the server's own performance must also be guaranteed.

[0056] On the other hand, while ensuring the server's data transmission rate, it's also crucial to guarantee data transmission reliability. The network interface card (NIC) sends and receives data to external devices via physical links. When the NIC's actual data transmission rate exceeds the physical link's transmission rate, the physical link cannot transmit all the data sent by the NIC completely to the external device, resulting in data loss. Theoretically, a higher NIC data transmission rate translates to higher server bandwidth when transferring data and parameters from the server. However, this ignores the potential for data loss and significantly consumes server hardware resources, hindering optimal server performance. Therefore, the NIC's data transmission rate needs to be matched to the physical link's transmission rate. Limiting the NIC's actual data transmission rate prevents it from exceeding the capacity of the physical link used for sending and receiving data, thus avoiding wasting server hardware resources.

[0057] After allocating the server's CPU and memory resources to the network interface card (NIC) according to a preset ratio, and limiting the NIC's actual data transmission rate to within the physical link's data transmission rate, the NIC is configured. This ensures both the NIC's data transmission rate and the security and reliability of its data transmission. At this point, the server can be controlled to receive and send data normally through the NIC.

[0058] Because this application can guarantee the data transmission rate and reliability of the server's network card, when the server network card operation control method provided in this application is applied to a scenario of performing bandwidth testing on a server, it can reduce the possibility of the server bandwidth test failing. Furthermore, even when the server has a high load requirement, it can reduce the possibility of resource contention, low network resource utilization, severe data packet loss, and unstable network performance. When performing bandwidth testing on a server, once the server has been powered on, the steps of the server network card operation control method provided in this application can be executed.

[0059] This application primarily utilizes firmware BIOS to perform a series of configuration operations on the network card, thereby improving the server's data transmission performance and preventing issues such as the server failing bandwidth tests. Through the efficient prevention and protection mechanisms of firmware BIOS, it ensures that the server maintains the high efficiency and stability of the network card in big data usage environments, helping the server provide customers with a better user experience.

[0060] In summary, this invention discloses a method for regulating the operation of a server network interface card (NIC). First, the theoretical maximum transmission rate of the NIC is obtained, and then the CPU and memory resources of the server are allocated to the NIC according to a preset ratio to ensure that the NIC's theoretical maximum transmission rate requirement is met, thereby improving the NIC's transmission rate. Furthermore, after determining the data transmission rate of the physical link corresponding to the NIC, the actual data transmission rate of the NIC is limited to within the data transmission rate of the physical link, thus ensuring that data sent by the NIC is not lost and improving the reliability of data transmission. After completing the above configuration, the server is controlled to receive and send data through the NIC, ensuring both the NIC's transmission rate and the reliability of data transmission.

[0061] Based on the above embodiments:

[0062] In other embodiments, the central processing unit resources and memory resources in the server are allocated to the network interface card according to a preset allocation ratio, including:

[0063] The memory resources in the server are allocated to the network card according to the preset allocation ratio and the priority of the physical link between the memory and the network card from near to far.

[0064] The interrupt settings of the network card are bound to the central processing unit according to the preset allocation ratio and the priority of the physical link between the central processing unit and the network card from near to far.

[0065] In this embodiment, when allocating CPU and memory resources in the server to the network interface card (NIC), in addition to allocating CPU and memory resources to the NIC according to a preset allocation ratio, the physical link distances between the NIC and memory, as well as between the CPU and the NIC, are also considered. The closer the physical link between the NIC and memory, the less data transmission loss and latency there is; similarly, the closer the physical link between the NIC and the CPU, the less data transmission loss and latency there is. Therefore, memory and CPU resources closer to the NIC should be allocated to it as much as possible. Furthermore, the NIC itself has hardware interrupts; allocating CPU resources to the server's NIC mainly involves binding the NIC's interrupt settings to CPU resources. Therefore, in this embodiment, the NIC's interrupt settings need to be bound to CPU resources relatively close to the NIC.

[0066] When allocating CPU and network interface card (NIC) resources in the server, the actual usage requirements of the NIC are fully considered. Different forms of core binding operations are performed on the CPU to ensure that these operations are dependent on the server system. Based on the different system performance, the network performance strategy is adjusted accordingly to meet the server's configuration requirements.

[0067] In summary, this embodiment allocates central processing unit resources and memory resources to the network card according to a preset allocation ratio based on the principle of proximity, which can reduce data transmission loss and latency, and further improve the data transmission performance of the server.

[0068] In other embodiments, before the control server receives data via the network interface card, the following is also included:

[0069] When the actual data transmission volume on the data receiving link is detected to be greater than the preset data transmission volume, the portion of data exceeding the preset data transmission volume on the data receiving link is stored in a buffer so that the data receiving link can send the remaining data to the network card.

[0070] Considering that when the actual data transmission volume on the data receiving link used by the network card exceeds a certain value, data loss may occur on the data receiving link due to the limited receiving capacity of the network card, this embodiment will also detect the actual data transmission volume on the data receiving link. When it is determined that the actual data transmission volume on the data receiving link is greater than the preset data transmission volume, data packetization will be used to avoid data loss.

[0071] Specifically, when the actual data transmission volume on the data receiving link exceeds the preset data transmission volume (which can be adjusted according to actual needs, for example, setting the preset data transmission volume to the maximum data transmission volume under the preset stable state of the network card, thus ensuring the data transmission rate of the network card), the portion of data exceeding the preset data transmission volume on the data receiving link is stored in a buffer. In this way, the amount of data on the data receiving link will be reduced to the preset data transmission volume. When the network card normally receives data sent from the data receiving link, it can fully receive the data on the data receiving link without data loss, thus avoiding the loss of customer data and potential losses.

[0072] Furthermore, the amount of data stored in the buffer can be detected. When the amount of data accumulated in the buffer reaches the preset data transmission volume, the data in the buffer can be sent to the network card through the data receiving link, ensuring that the data that the data receiving link was originally going to send can be completely transmitted to the network card.

[0073] In summary, this embodiment utilizes the hardware buffer in the server to perform packet segmentation on the data received by the network card according to the actual usage scenario of the network card, ensuring that the network card can completely receive the data sent to the server by the external device through the data receiving link, thus ensuring the security and reliability of server data transmission.

[0074] In other embodiments, after the control server receives and sends data via the network interface card, the system further includes:

[0075] Get the data receiving volume and data sending volume of the network interface card (NIC);

[0076] When the current data throughput of the network card exceeds the preset data throughput based on the data reception and data transmission volume, the data processing performance of the hardware in the server is adjusted. The hardware includes any one or more combinations of the server's memory, central processing unit, and hard disk.

[0077] In addition to limiting the amount of data sent from the data receiving link to the network card, it is also necessary to consider whether the data received by the network card can be processed in a timely manner by the processor in the server. If the network card's data receiving capacity exceeds the server's own data processing capacity, it will still have an adverse impact on the server's performance.

[0078] Therefore, in this embodiment, after the control server receives and sends data through the network card, it automatically obtains the data reception and transmission volume of the network card, and determines the current data throughput of the network card based on the data reception and transmission volume. This application does not provide a detailed description of how the data reception, transmission, and throughput of the network card are obtained. The data throughput of the network card refers to the amount of data transmitted by the network card per unit time. When the current data throughput of the network card is high, the data processing capability of the server should be increased. Therefore, in this embodiment, when the current data throughput of the network card exceeds the preset data throughput, the data processing performance of the hardware in the server is actively adjusted. The hardware in this embodiment refers to hardware that affects the data processing performance of the server, such as the server's memory, central processing unit, and hard disk. In practical applications, adjustments can be made according to requirements, and this application does not impose any special limitations. By performing packet processing on the data received by the network card, the server hardware parameters are adjusted after the network card receives a large amount of data to improve hardware performance, thereby maximizing the processing efficiency of the data received by the network card and optimizing the entire data reception and processing process of the server.

[0079] In summary, in this embodiment, when the current data throughput of the network card exceeds the preset data throughput, the data processing performance of the server hardware is actively increased, enabling the server to process the data received by the network card in a timely manner, thereby further improving the server's data processing performance.
