Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of electronic technology, and in particular to a device testing method, apparatus, equipment and medium. Background Art

[0002] Compute eXpress Link (CXL) technology is a new type of high-speed interconnect technology that can increase data throughput and reduce latency to meet the needs of today's larger computing and storage systems. CXL is an open standard that can be used as a high-speed serial protocol, including a block input / output protocol (CXL.io) based on the high-speed serial computer expansion bus standard (PCI Express, PCIe), and a new cache consistency protocol for accessing system memory (CXL.cache) and device memory (CXL.mem). Devices using the CXL protocol have high-speed interconnect technology that can provide high-speed, large-capacity connections between central processing units (CPUs) and devices, CPUs and memory, and devices and devices for high-performance data center computers.

[0003] In the server, devices supporting the CXL protocol are set up to meet customers' needs for memory bandwidth and capacity expansion. However, before the server leaves the factory, the devices supporting the CXL protocol need to be tested. The current testing method is to use a dedicated analyzer hardware test device for testing. The analyzer hardware test device is not only costly and inefficient, but also may be quite different from the actual customer application scenario. Summary of the invention

[0004] The embodiments of the present application provide a device testing method, apparatus, equipment and medium, which are used to more conveniently implement testing of devices supporting the CXL protocol in a server, save costs, achieve good testing results, and meet testing requirements.

[0005] An embodiment of the present application provides a device testing method, including:

[0006] Determine a basic input and output system BIOS configuration file in the server, wherein the BIOS configuration file includes: configuration information supported by a target device to be tested in the server, the target device being a device supporting a computing express link CXL protocol;

[0007] According to the test scenario, the BIOS configuration file is modified to obtain a modified BIOS configuration file, and the server is restarted; wherein the modified BIOS configuration file includes: configuration information of the target device when the target device is run under the test scenario;

[0008] When the server is successfully restarted, it is detected whether the configuration information in the modified BIOS configuration file is effective, a first detection result is obtained, and based on the first detection result, first test information of whether the BIOS of the server supports the target device is output.

[0009] The method provided in the embodiment of the present application can determine a basic input and output system BIOS configuration file in a server, wherein the BIOS configuration file includes: configuration information supported by a target device to be tested in the server, the target device being a device supporting the Compute Express Link (CXL) protocol; and, according to a test scenario, modifying the BIOS configuration file to obtain a modified BIOS configuration file, and restarting the server, wherein the modified BIOS configuration file includes: configuration information of the target device when the target device is run under the test scenario, so that the modified BIOS configuration file takes effect; therefore, when the server is successfully restarted, it is detected whether the configuration information in the modified BIOS configuration file takes effect, a first detection result is obtained, and based on the first detection result, first test information of whether the BIOS of the server supports the target device is output, so that the test of the target device supporting the CXL protocol in the server can be more conveniently implemented based on the BIOS configuration file, without the need to use a special analyzer hardware test device for testing, thereby saving the test cost and achieving a good test effect. By modifying the BIOS configuration file according to the test scenario and testing the target device supporting the CXL protocol in the server based on the modified BIOS configuration file, the test requirements of the test scenario in actual application situations can be better met.

[0010] In some embodiments, the method further comprises:

[0011] Determine an operating system OS configuration file in the server, including operating system kernel version information;

[0012] Based on the OS configuration file, detect whether the operating system kernel version of the server is higher than or equal to a preset version, obtain a second detection result, and based on the second detection result, output second test information of whether the OS of the server supports the target device; wherein the preset version is the operating system kernel version that supports the target device.

[0013] Therefore, the embodiment of the present application can also implement more comprehensive testing of target devices supporting the CXL protocol in the server based on the OS configuration file, which not only saves costs but also obtains better testing results and meets more testing requirements.

[0014] In some embodiments, the method further comprises:

[0015] Detecting whether the target device exists in the server to obtain a third detection result;

[0016] Based on the second detection result, outputting second test information of whether the OS of the server supports the target device includes:

[0017] Based on the second detection result and the third detection result, second test information of whether the OS of the server supports the target device is output.

[0018] Therefore, the embodiment of the present application can also further realize more comprehensive test information for the target device supporting the CXL protocol in the server based on the OS configuration file and the detection result of whether the target device exists in the server, which not only saves costs but also can further obtain better test results and meet more test needs.

[0019] In some embodiments, the method further comprises:

[0020] When it is detected that the target device exists in the server, the address information of the target device in the server is recorded.

[0021] Therefore, when the embodiment of the present application detects that a target device supporting the CXL protocol exists in the server, the address information of the target device in the server may also be recorded to facilitate operations such as testing.

[0022] In some embodiments, the method further comprises:

[0023] Based on the address information of the target device in the server, the status information of the target device is detected to obtain a fourth detection result, and based on the fourth detection result, third test information of whether the hardware of the server supports the target device is output.

[0024] Therefore, when the embodiment of the present application detects that a target device supporting the CXL protocol exists in the server, the state information of the target device supporting the CXL protocol can be detected based on the recorded address information of the target device in the server, and more comprehensive test information for the target device can be further obtained.

[0025] In some embodiments, the OS configuration file includes the following three configuration files:

[0026] Functional test profile, performance test profile, stress test profile.

[0027] Therefore, the embodiments of the present application can meet different types of testing requirements and achieve more comprehensive testing functions.

[0028] In some embodiments, the BIOS configuration file includes the following three configuration files:

[0029] Functional test profile, performance test profile, stress test profile.

[0030] Therefore, the embodiments of the present application can meet different types of testing requirements and achieve more comprehensive testing functions.

[0031] An embodiment of the present application provides a device testing apparatus, comprising:

[0032] A configuration file determining unit, configured to determine a basic input and output system BIOS configuration file in the server, wherein the BIOS configuration file includes: configuration information supported by a target device to be tested in the server, wherein the target device is a device supporting a computing fast link CXL protocol;

[0033] A configuration file modification unit, configured to modify the BIOS configuration file according to a test scenario, obtain a modified BIOS configuration file, and restart the server; wherein the modified BIOS configuration file includes: configuration information of the target device when the target device is run under the test scenario;

[0034] The testing unit is used to detect whether the configuration information in the modified BIOS configuration file is effective when the server is successfully restarted, obtain a first detection result, and output first test information of whether the BIOS of the server supports the target device based on the first detection result.

[0035] Therefore, the embodiment of the present application also provides a testing device that can more conveniently implement testing of devices supporting the CXL protocol in the server. There is no need to use special analyzer hardware testing equipment to perform testing. Based on the BIOS configuration file, the test of the target device supporting the CXL protocol in the server can be conveniently implemented, thereby saving testing costs and achieving better testing results. The device modifies the BIOS configuration file according to the test scenario, and tests the target device supporting the CXL protocol in the server based on the modified BIOS configuration file, thereby better meeting the testing requirements of the testing scenarios in actual application situations.

[0036] Another embodiment of the present application provides an electronic device, which includes a memory and a processor, wherein the memory is used to store program instructions, and the processor is used to call the program instructions stored in the memory and execute any of the above methods according to the obtained program.

[0037] Therefore, the embodiment of the present application also provides an electronic device that can more conveniently implement testing of devices supporting the CXL protocol in a server. For example, it can be the server itself or an electronic device inside the server. There is no need to use a special analyzer hardware testing device for testing.

Based on the modified BIOS configuration file, the target device supporting the CXL protocol in the server can be tested, which can better meet the testing requirements of the testing scenarios in actual application situations.

[0050] The embodiments of the present application provide a device testing method, apparatus, equipment and medium, which are used to more conveniently implement testing of devices supporting the CXL protocol in a server, save costs, achieve good testing results, and meet testing requirements.

[0054] The following is a detailed description of each embodiment of the present application in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the display order of the embodiments of the present application only represents the order of the embodiments, and does not represent the advantages and disadvantages of the technical solutions provided by the embodiments.

[0055] See also Figure 1 , a device testing method provided in an embodiment of the present application includes:

[0056] S101, determining a basic input and output system BIOS configuration file in a server, wherein the BIOS configuration file includes: configuration information supported by a target device to be tested in the server, the target device being a device supporting a Compute Express Link (CXL) protocol (also referred to as a CXL device);

[0057] The CXL protocol supports the following three types of devices:

[0058] Type 1 devices: accelerators without local memory, such as network cards.

[0059] The first type of device is integrated with the existing system through PCIe (Peripheral Component Interconnect express, a high-speed serial computer expansion bus standard) and communicates directly with the CPU through the CXL protocol.

[0060] The second type of device: general-purpose accelerators, such as graphics processing units (GPUs), application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), and field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs).

[0061] Such accelerators usually have local memory such as Graphics Double Data Rate (GDDR) or High Bandwidth Memory. The host CPU can directly access the local memory of such accelerators through the CXL protocol.

[0062] The third type of device: memory expansion board and persistent memory.

[0063] The third type of device communicates directly with the host processor and can use the CXL protocol to achieve low-latency, high-throughput data transfer.

[0064] From the perspective of server manufacturers, the embodiments of the present application provide an automated testing method for CXL devices, thereby ensuring good compatibility with CXL devices before the server is delivered to users, thereby better meeting user application requirements.

[0065] The BIOS configuration file in the server is determined, for example, by creating a BIOS configuration file BIOS_Conf.txt under the server OS, which contains options 1 to n supported by the CXL device (ie, configuration information supported by the target device), for example: BIOS control options (type, function, etc.) supported by the CXL device.

[0066] In some embodiments, the BIOS configuration file includes, for example:

[0067] The CXL Security Level option is used to control whether the operating system (OS) can read and write to the CXL device through the CXL memory (cxl.mem) protocol. Supported options include: Auto, Fully Trusted, and Untrusted.

[0068] In the embodiment of the present application, at the firmware layer of the server, a pre-configured BIOS configuration file (eg named BIOS_Conf.txt) is used to set the control options (eg type, function, etc.) of the BIOS supported by the CXL device.

[0069] S102. Modify the BIOS configuration file according to the test scenario to obtain a modified BIOS configuration file, and restart the server; wherein the modified BIOS configuration file includes: configuration information of the target device when the target device is run under the test scenario;

[0070] The test scenario is the actual application requirement of the user (not specifically limited). In the embodiment of the present application, the BIOS configuration file can be modified according to the actual application requirement of the user for the CXL device to obtain a modified BIOS configuration file.

[0071] The configuration information of the target device includes, for example, configuration information such as usage mode, bandwidth, rate, etc. of the CXL device.

[0072] In some embodiments, the BIOS configuration file is modified, for example:

[0073] Assume that the access path of the BIOS configuration file is . / scelnx / o / s bios.txt; the file name of the BIOS configuration file is bios.txt;

[0074] You can use the tool to export the BIOS configuration file bios.txt under . / scelnx / o / s bios.txt and modify the option configuration in bios.txt. For example, change the control option 1 of the BIOS supported by the CXL device to off, and then use . / scelnx / I / s bios.txt to import the modified configuration information. Restart the server and the modified configuration information will take effect.

[0075] S103. When the server is successfully restarted, detect whether the configuration information in the modified BIOS configuration file is effective, obtain a first detection result, and based on the first detection result, output first test information of whether the BIOS of the server supports the target device.

[0076] After the server is successfully restarted and enters the server OS, you can use the BIOS configuration modification tool to export the modified BIOS configuration file BIOS_Conf_modify.txt and check whether the options in the BIOS_Conf_modify.txt are modified successfully, for example, check whether the control option 1 of the BIOS supported by the CXL device is off.

[0077] The first detection result, that is, the detection result of whether the configuration information in the modified BIOS configuration file is effective, if yes, it means that the BIOS of the server supports the target device, and the output first test information prompts the detection result (for example, BIOS is support CXL); otherwise, it means that the BIOS of the server does not support the target device, and the output first test information prompts the detection result (for example, BIOS is not support CXL).

[0078] In some embodiments, see Figure 2, the method further comprises:

[0079] S201, determining an operating system OS configuration file in the server, including operating system kernel version information;

[0080] In some embodiments, the OS configuration file includes, for example: a configuration file started by the operating system kernel (kernel), and the access path of the OS configuration file is, for example: nano / etc / default / grub;

[0081] In some embodiments, the configuration of the OS may be modified by editing the contents of the OS configuration file under the nano / etc / default / grub path.

[0082] S202: Based on the OS configuration file, detect whether the operating system kernel version of the server is higher than or equal to a preset version, and obtain a second detection result;

[0083] In some embodiments, based on the OS configuration file, detecting the operating system kernel version of the server includes, for example:

[0084] The kernel version in the OS configuration file can be queried through the command (uname -r) and is 5.14. However, the operating system kernel version that actually supports CXL devices needs to be above 6.6. Therefore, based on this test result, it can be determined whether the OS in the current server can be used for testing CXL devices.

[0085] The second detection result is a detection result of whether the operating system kernel version of the server is higher than or equal to a preset version.

[0086] S203. Based on the second detection result, output second test information of whether the OS of the server supports the target device; wherein the preset version is an operating system kernel version that supports the target device.

[0087] If the operating system kernel version of the server is higher than or equal to the preset version, the second test information generates corresponding prompt information (for example, OS is support CXL) based on the detection result;

[0088] If the operating system kernel version of the server is lower than the preset version, the second test information generates corresponding prompt information (eg, OS is not support CXL) based on the detection result.

[0089] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 , the method further comprises:

[0090] S301, determining an operating system OS configuration file in the server, including operating system kernel version information;

[0091] S302: Based on the OS configuration file, detect whether the operating system kernel version of the server is higher than or equal to a preset version, and obtain a second detection result;

[0092] S303, detecting whether the target device exists in the server, and obtaining a third detection result;

[0093] For example, by executing a PCI device query instruction (lspci-tv), it is detected whether the CXL device exists in the local server.

[0094] The third detection result is a detection result of whether the target CXL device exists in the server.

[0095] S304: Based on the second detection result and the third detection result, output second test information of whether the OS of the server supports the target device.

[0096] That is to say, in this embodiment, whether the server's OS supports the second test information of the target device is determined based on the detection result of whether the server's operating system kernel version is higher than or equal to the preset version and the detection result of whether the target device exists in the server. For example:

[0097] If the server's operating system kernel version is higher than or equal to the preset version and the target device exists in the server, the output second test information prompts that the server's OS supports the target device (for example, OS is support CXL); otherwise, the output second test information prompts that the server's OS does not support the target device (for example, OS is not support CXL).

[0098] In some embodiments, see Figure 4 , the method further comprises:

[0099] S401, determining an operating system OS configuration file in the server, including operating system kernel version information;

[0100] S402: Based on the OS configuration file, detect whether the operating system kernel version of the server is higher than or equal to a preset version, and obtain a second detection result;

[0101] S403, detecting whether the target device exists in the server, and obtaining a third detection result;

[0102] S404: when it is detected that the target device exists in the server, record the address information of the target device in the server;

[0103] The address information of the target device in the server is recorded, for example, the PCI device address information (for example, bb:dd.f) of the CXL device in the local server is recorded.

[0104] S405: Based on the second detection result and the third detection result, output second test information of whether the OS of the server supports the target device.

[0105] In some embodiments, see Figure 5 , the method further comprises:

[0106] S501, determining an operating system OS configuration file in the server, including operating system kernel version information;

[0107] S502: Based on the OS configuration file, detect whether the operating system kernel version of the server is higher than or equal to a preset version, and obtain a second detection result;

[0108] S503, detecting whether the target device exists in the server, and obtaining a third detection result;

[0109] S504: Based on the second detection result and the third detection result, output second test information of whether the OS of the server supports the target device.

[0110] S505: When it is detected that the target device exists in the server, record the address information of the target device in the server;

[0111] S506. Detecting the state information of the target device based on the address information of the target device in the server to obtain a fourth detection result;

[0112] For example, based on the PCI device address information (eg, bb:dd.f) of the CXL device in the local server, the PCI device status query instruction lspci-vvs bb:dd.f is executed to detect the CXL device status, such as the link status and link speed of the CXL device.

[0113] S507: Based on the fourth detection result, output third test information of whether the hardware of the server supports the target device.

[0114] In some embodiments, based on the fourth detection result, outputting third test information of whether the hardware of the server supports the target device, for example, includes:

[0115] Based on the address information of the target CXL device in the server, the command (lspci|grep -i cxl) can be used to detect whether the following information is included in the status information of the target CXL device:

[0116] d7:00.0CXL:Montage Technology Co.,Ltd.Device c001(rev 01);

[0117] If yes, it means that the hardware environment of the current server supports the target CXL device, and the third test information (for example: Hardware is support CXL) that the hardware of the server supports the target device is output;

[0118] If not, it means that the current server hardware environment does not support the target CXL device, and then the third test information that the server hardware does not support the target device (for example: Hardware is not support CXL) is output.

[0119] The following is an example of a specific process.

[0120] See also Figure 6 , a device testing method provided in an embodiment of the present application includes:

[0121] S601, determining a basic input and output system BIOS configuration file in a server, wherein the BIOS configuration file includes: configuration information supported by a target device to be tested in the server, the target device being a device supporting a computing express link CXL protocol;

[0122] S602, modifying the BIOS configuration file according to the test scenario to obtain a modified BIOS configuration file, and restarting the server; wherein the modified BIOS configuration file includes: configuration information of the target device when the target device is run under the test scenario;

[0123] S603. When the server is successfully restarted, detect whether the configuration information in the modified BIOS configuration file is effective, obtain a first detection result, and based on the first detection result, output first test information of whether the BIOS of the server supports the target device.

[0124] S604, determining an operating system OS configuration file in the server, including operating system kernel version information;

[0125] S605. Based on the OS configuration file, detect whether the operating system kernel version of the server is higher than or equal to a preset version, and obtain a second detection result;

[0126] S606, detecting whether the target device exists in the server, and obtaining a third detection result;

[0127] S607: Based on the second detection result and the third detection result, output second test information of whether the OS of the server supports the target device.

[0128] S608: When it is detected that the target device exists in the server, record the address information of the target device in the server;

[0129] S609: Detecting the state information of the target device based on the address information of the target device in the server to obtain a fourth detection result;

[0130] S610. Based on the fourth detection result, output third test information of whether the hardware of the server supports the target device.

[0131] In this embodiment, the above steps S601 to S603 and steps S604 to S610 may be executed in parallel or sequentially, and the specific sequence is not limited.

[0132] In order to conduct different types of tests to demonstrate that the target CXL device is fully supported in the server and will not affect the application of the customer's actual business system:

[0133] In some embodiments, the OS configuration file includes the following three configuration files:

[0134] Functional test profile, performance test profile, stress test profile.

[0135] In some embodiments, the BIOS configuration file includes the following three configuration files:

[0136] Functional test profile, performance test profile, stress test profile.

[0137] Among them, regarding the functional test configuration file, for example:

[0138] For the BIOS configuration file, modify the corresponding BIOS options according to the actual functional test requirements to obtain the functional test configuration file (for example, bios1.txt);

[0139] For the OS configuration file, according to the actual functional test requirements, for example, modify the parameters in the OS configuration file under the path etc / default / grub to obtain the corresponding functional test configuration file. The tool used may be, for example, cxlcvtest.

[0140] Regarding the performance test configuration file and stress test configuration file, similar to the above-mentioned functional test configuration file, the BIOS configuration file and OS configuration file can be modified accordingly according to actual test requirements.

[0141] That is to say, in the embodiment of the present application, the test for the CXL device may include many types (for example: function, performance, stress), and each type of test requires the configuration of a different BIOS and / or the execution of different OS instructions. The corresponding test type, the test tool to be used, the test configuration information, the test steps (the test instructions to be executed), the pass / fail test result evaluation criteria, etc. are preset through the above-mentioned configuration files, and the corresponding test scripts are written to realize the automation of the configuration and execution of various tests for the CXL device. Finally, in the process of executing the automated test, according to different types of tests, such as function, performance, stress, the corresponding configuration information can be called, the corresponding test steps can be executed, the corresponding pass / fail test result evaluation criteria can be adopted, and the test results (i.e., test reports) can be finally output, thereby ensuring more comprehensive test coverage for the CXL device.

[0142] In summary, the embodiments of the present application can quickly verify the CXL device on the server manufacturer side, avoiding the problem of missing or wrongly modifying the configuration options that may be easily caused by manually modifying the configuration file and testing, which in turn causes the problem of incorrect testing. That is, the embodiments of the present application can more conveniently implement the test of the target device supporting the CXL protocol in the server, without the need to manually use a special analyzer hardware testing device for testing, saving the testing cost and achieving better testing results. The BIOS configuration file and the OS configuration file can be modified according to the test scenario, and based on the modified configuration file, the target device supporting the CXL protocol in the server can be subjected to various types of more comprehensive tests, which can better meet the test requirements of the test scenario in actual application situations, and make up for the lack of effective testing of CXL devices on the server manufacturer side. In addition, the method provided in the embodiments of the present application can also be applied to the batch verification of target CXL devices in the production link of the server.
