[0025] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments in the present application belong to the scope of protection of this application.

[0026] The terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification of the present application are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchangeable under appropriate circumstances, so that the embodiments of the present application can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described here, and the objects distinguished by "first", "second", etc. are usually a class, and the number of objects is not limited. For example, the first object can be one or more. In addition, "and / or" in the specification represents at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the objects associated with each other are in an "or" relationship.

[0027] When analyzing power consumption and temperature rise issues, it is necessary to locate which device is heating abnormally. The central processing unit accounts for the largest proportion of the entire device. Therefore, how to locate which application or process causes the high power consumption of the central processing unit, accurate power consumption measurement is particularly important.

[0028] The existing method for determining application power consumption is to determine the application power consumption by the power consumption of the pre-configured CPU at different frequencies and the running time of the application at the CPU frequency. The specific formula is as follows:

[0029]

[0030] Among them, Power(app1) represents the power consumption of app1 at the current temperature, T i represents the running time of app1 at the i-th frequency point of the CPU, E i Indicates the power consumption of the CPU at the i-th frequency point, and N is the number of CPU frequencies.i It is usually fixed in registers or programs and given by chip manufacturers after testing.

[0031] However, in actual use, the power consumption of the CPU at each frequency point at different temperatures is not fixed, as shown in Table 1, which exemplarily lists the energy efficiency ratios of a CPU at each frequency point at different temperatures.

[0032] Table 1 Energy efficiency ratio of a CPU at different frequencies at different temperatures

[0033]

[0034] As can be seen from Table 1, at the same frequency, the power consumption of the CPU at 65°C and 85°C is quite different, and at some frequencies the difference is even nearly doubled. Therefore, the power consumption determined by the above method is inaccurate and has a large difference with the actual power consumption of the application, which in turn affects the subsequent analysis of the application.

[0035] To this end, the embodiments of the present application provide a power consumption determination method, device, electronic device and readable storage medium, which can solve the technical problem of inaccurate power consumption statistics used in related technologies.

[0036] The power consumption determination method, device, electronic device and readable storage medium provided in the embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings through specific embodiments and their application scenarios.

[0037] The power consumption determination method provided in the embodiment of the present application can be applied to electronic devices such as mobile phones, tablets, and laptops. The power consumption determination method provided in the embodiment of the present application can be applied to scenarios such as analyzing whether an application is running abnormally based on the power consumption of the application, and testing whether the overall power consumption of the electronic device meets the requirements.

[0038] Figure 1 A flowchart of a method for determining power consumption provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown, the power consumption determination method may include the following steps:

[0039] S110: Obtain a first running time of a thread of a first application at each frequency point of a central processing unit and a first temperature of the central processing unit.

[0040] S120. Determine the power consumption of the central processing unit at each frequency point according to the first temperature and a reference relationship; the reference relationship is used to characterize the relationship between the temperature and the power consumption of the central processing unit at each frequency point.

[0041] S130: Determine the power consumption of the first application according to each first operating time and the power consumption of the central processing unit at each frequency point.

[0042] The implementation of the present application can dynamically determine the power consumption of the central processing unit at each frequency point according to the temperature of the central processing unit, that is, taking into account the influence of temperature on the power consumption of the central processing unit, so as to more accurately determine the power consumption of the application at different temperatures, reduce the gap with the actual power consumption, and improve the accuracy of the power consumption statistics.

[0043] The above steps are described in detail below:

[0044] In S110, the first application may be any application running in the electronic device, the thread of the first application is a thread included in the first application, the first application may be composed of one or more processes, each process may be composed of one or more threads, that is, the first application may include one or more threads. The embodiment of the present application takes the calculation of the power consumption of the application as an example, and in actual application, the power consumption of each process or each thread of the application may also be calculated separately.

[0045] The electronic device of the embodiment of the present application may include one or more central processing units, and each central processing unit corresponds to the same frequency point. In actual application, the number of frequency points may be multiple, that is, each central processing unit may operate at a different frequency point.

[0046] The same application can run on the same CPU or on different CPUs. For example, if an application consists of multiple threads, when the same application runs on the same CPU, all threads can run at the same frequency or at different frequencies. When the same application runs on different CPUs, some threads can run on one CPU and some threads can run on another CPU.

[0047] The first running time is the running time of each thread at each frequency point. The running time of each thread at each frequency point can be recorded in the member variable time_in_state in the structure task_struct corresponding to each thread. Taking the electronic device using the Android system as an example, each thread has a separate structure task_struct. Assuming that the central processor has a total of N frequency points, the member variable time_in_state is an array of length N, which is used to record the running time of the thread at each frequency point of the central processor. When the central processor performs frequency modulation, the Android system will automatically update the running time of the thread at each frequency point of the central processor recorded in the array. That is, for each thread of the first application, the electronic device can obtain the running time of the thread at each frequency point from the time_in_state corresponding to the thread.

[0048] The first temperature may be the current temperature of the central processing unit, which may be measured by a temperature sensor. The temperature sensor may be disposed on the corresponding central processing unit. For example, the temperature sensor may be a negative temperature coefficient (NTC) sensor, a positive temperature coefficient (PTC) sensor, or the like.

[0049] In S120, the reference relationship is used to characterize the relationship between the temperature and power consumption of the CPU at each frequency point. The reference relationship may be a linear function relationship, a quadratic function relationship, etc. The specific form is associated with the relationship between the temperature and power consumption. The reference relationship may be predetermined, and the specific determination process may refer to the following embodiment.

[0050] The power consumption of the central processing unit at each frequency point may be the power consumption of the central processing unit at each frequency point at the first temperature. The electronic device can determine the power consumption of the central processing unit at each frequency point at the first temperature based on the first temperature of the central processing unit and the reference relationship. That is, in the embodiment of the present application, the power consumption of the central processing unit at each frequency point is related to the temperature of the central processing unit. The power consumption at the same frequency point is different when the temperature of the central processing unit is different. In this way, the power consumption of the application at different temperatures can be measured more accurately.

[0051] In S130, the power consumption of each thread at the first temperature is accumulated to obtain the power consumption of the first application at the first temperature. The power consumption of each thread at the first temperature can be determined by the running time of the thread at each frequency point and the power consumption of the central processor at each frequency point.

[0052] For example, Among them, P j represents the thread power consumption of the jth thread at the first temperature, T ji represents the running time of the jth thread at the i-th frequency point, B i represents the power consumption of the central processor at the i-th frequency point at the first temperature, P represents the power consumption of the first application at the first temperature, and M is the number of threads included in the first application.

[0053] The embodiment of the present application can use a temperature sensor to detect the temperature of the central processing unit in real time, and determine the power consumption of the central processing unit at each frequency point at the temperature based on the temperature and a reference relationship, and then determine the power consumption of the application at the temperature based on the power consumption of the central processing unit at each frequency point at the temperature and the running time of each thread of the application at each frequency point, thereby reducing the gap between the actual power consumption generated by the application at the temperature and improving the accuracy of the measurement results.

[0054] The following is an explanation of the process of determining the reference relationship mentioned in the above embodiment. Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 and Figure 1 The difference is that Figure 2 Also includes S210-S220.

[0055] S210: For each frequency point, obtain the power consumption of the central processing unit at the frequency point at multiple temperatures.

[0056] For example, the power consumption of the CPU at each frequency point at temperatures such as 10°C, 45°C, 65°C and 85°C can be measured. The power consumption here can be the total power consumption, and the temperature here is the surface temperature of the CPU. The total power consumption of the CPU at each frequency point at different temperatures is measured as follows:

[0057] After the architecture of the CPU is determined, the junction temperature of the CPU can be fixed when the CPU is fully loaded, and then the CPU at different temperatures can be tested. The energy model of the Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) is used to calculate the power consumption of the CPU at each frequency point at different temperatures. The power consumption includes dynamic power consumption and static power consumption, that is, the power consumption measured when the CPU is running includes dynamic power consumption and static power consumption.

[0058] S220 , fitting the relationship between temperature and power consumption to obtain a reference relationship.

[0059] Exemplarily, for each frequency point, the electronic device can plot points in a two-dimensional coordinate system with temperature as the horizontal axis and power consumption as the vertical axis according to the existing temperature and power consumption, determine the functional relationship between temperature and power consumption at the frequency point according to the relationship between discrete points, and then select a suitable function for fitting. After obtaining the fitting function, the fitting function can be tested using the existing discrete points. For example, it can be determined whether the selected fitting function meets the requirements based on the difference between the power consumption output by the fitting function and the actual power consumption. If it does not meet the requirements, the fitting function can be replaced.

[0060] For example, if the initially determined functional relationship is a quadratic functional relationship, a quadratic function can be fitted based on the existing temperature and power consumption to obtain a fitted quadratic function. During testing, if the power consumption obtained based on the quadratic function is only similar to the power consumption at a few temperatures, and is significantly different from the power consumption at most other temperatures, then it is necessary to adjust the functional relationship between temperature and power consumption, and then refit until the fitted function is similar to the power consumption at most temperatures.

[0061] Exemplarily, multiple temperatures and corresponding power consumption and architecture parameters such as heat dissipation of the electronic device may also be input into the relationship fitting model, and the relationship between the temperature and power consumption may be output by the relationship fitting model. The relationship fitting model may be a deep learning model.

[0062] In an embodiment of the present application, each central processing unit has a run queue runqueue, which is used to manage threads running on the central processing unit, and the run queue runqueue is stored in the structure struct rq of each central processing unit. Each struct rq has its own corresponding struct root_domain, and each struct root_domain contains an em_cap_state. The em_cap_state is similar to a list, which is used to store the power consumption of the central processing unit at various frequencies at different temperatures. Therefore, after obtaining the relationship between temperature and power consumption, the power consumption of the central processing unit at various frequencies at different temperatures can be stored in the em_cap_state, and the power consumption of the central processing unit at various frequencies at different temperatures can be obtained by table lookup later, which simplifies the process of obtaining power consumption.

[0063] The embodiment of the present application measures the power consumption of the central processing unit at each frequency point at a finite number of temperatures, and performs relationship fitting based on the finite number of temperatures and power consumption to obtain the relationship between different temperatures and power consumption of the central processing unit at each frequency point, so that the power consumption of the central processing unit at each frequency point at the actual temperature can be dynamically determined based on the actual temperature of the central processing unit, thereby more accurately determining the power consumption of each application or thread at the actual temperature.

[0064] The application power consumption determined by the above embodiment can be the power consumption of the application at the actual temperature when the central processing unit is in the running state (also called the active state). That is, by default, the central processing unit is always in the running state during the period of time when the actual temperature persists. It is understandable that in actual applications, the central processing unit may be in different states during the period of time when the actual temperature persists, for example, the period of time when the actual temperature persists includes the running state and the idle state. In order to accurately determine the total power consumption of the electronic device, the embodiment of the present application also provides a power consumption determination method, such as Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 and Figure 1 The difference is that Figure 3 Also includes S310-S320.

[0065] S310, obtaining a first characteristic of a central processing unit during a duration of a first temperature and a static power consumption of the central processing unit at each frequency point at the first temperature.

[0066] Exemplarily, the first feature is used to characterize the operating time of the central processing unit in different states within the duration of the first temperature, for example, it may include the operating state duration of the operating state and the idle state duration of the idle state. Exemplarily, the operating state duration and the idle state duration can be obtained through a performance monitoring tool or timer provided by the operating system. For example, in a Linux system, the active state and idle state time of the central processing unit can be obtained through information in the / proc file system. Among them, the operating time of the central processing unit at each frequency point at different temperatures can be stored in the variable temp_in_state of the structure task_struct.

[0067] The static power consumption of the central processing unit at each frequency point at the first temperature can be measured when the central processing unit is in sleep mode, and the specific measurement process is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

[0068] S320: Determine the total power consumption of the electronic device according to the first feature, the power consumption of the first application, and the static power consumption of the central processor at each frequency point at the first temperature.

[0069] Exemplarily, by accumulating the static power consumption of the central processor at each frequency point at the first temperature, the static power consumption of the central processor at the first temperature can be obtained, that is, the static power consumption of the central processor in an idle state.

[0070] During the duration of the first temperature, the total power consumption of the electronic device can be determined based on the first feature of the central processor during the duration, the power consumption of each application calculated by the central processor in the running state, and the static power consumption of the central processor in the idle state. Because the central processor is the core component of the electronic device and is also the device with the largest power consumption overhead, the embodiment of the present application only considers the power consumption of the central processor and ignores other power consumption.

[0071] When calculating the power consumption of the electronic device at the first temperature, the embodiment of the present application not only takes into account the total power consumption of the central processing unit in the running state, but also takes into account the static power consumption of the central processing unit in the idle state, so that the total power consumption of the device can be measured more accurately.

[0072] Taking the first feature including the running state duration and the idle state duration as an example, illustratively, the above S320 may include the following steps:

[0073] Determining the static power consumption of the central processor in an idle state according to the static power consumption of the central processor at each frequency point at the first temperature;

[0074] Determine the first time weight according to the relationship between the running state duration and the duration;

[0075] Determining a second time weight according to a relationship between the idle state duration and the duration;

[0076] According to the first time weight and the second time weight, the power consumption of the first application and the static power consumption of the central processor in the idle state are weighted and summed to obtain the total power consumption of the electronic device.

[0077] Exemplarily, assuming that the CPU is in an idle state during the duration of the first temperature, the static power consumption of the CPU at each frequency point at the first temperature is accumulated to obtain the static power consumption of the CPU in the idle state.

[0078] However, in actual application, the central processing unit may exist in different states during the duration of the first temperature, such as an operating state and an idle state. In order to accurately measure the power consumption of the electronic device at the first temperature, the weight of the central processing unit in different states can be determined according to the duration of the operating state and the idle state and the duration of the first temperature.

[0079] Exemplarily, the first time weight Cbusy=Tbusy / Ttotal, and the second time weight Cidle=Tidle / Ttotal, wherein Tbusy is the duration of the running state, Tidle is the duration of the idle state, and Ttotal is the duration of the first temperature.

[0080] Exemplarily, E=Pbusy*Cbusy+Pidle*Cidle, where E is the total power consumption of the electronic device at the first temperature, Pbusy is the total power consumption of the central processing unit in the running state, that is, the cumulative sum of the power consumption of each first application running in the electronic device, and Pidle is the static power consumption of the central processing unit in the idle state.

[0081] The embodiment of the present application can measure the total power consumption of the electronic device according to the idle state duration and the running state duration, combined with the power consumption of the central processing unit in the running state and the power consumption of the central processing unit in the idle state, fully considering the different states of the central processing unit during the duration of the first temperature, and improving the accuracy of the device power consumption measurement results.

[0082] In some embodiments, after S130, the power consumption determination method may further include the following steps:

[0083] When the power consumption of the first application is greater than the first power consumption threshold, abnormal prompt information is output, where the abnormal prompt information is used to prompt that the first application is running abnormally.

[0084] The first power consumption threshold can be determined according to scenarios, requirements, etc. In some embodiments, the first power consumption threshold can be determined according to the maximum power consumption of the application when it is operating normally at the first temperature. For example, the first power consumption threshold can be the maximum power consumption of the application when it is operating normally at the first temperature. The first power consumption threshold of the same application at different temperatures can be different, and the first power consumption threshold of different applications at the same temperature can also be different. The electronic device can store the power consumption thresholds of each application at different temperatures.

[0085] Exemplarily, the electronic device can obtain the power consumption threshold of the first application at the first temperature based on the first temperature of the central processor and the application identifier of the first application, and compare the currently calculated power consumption of the first application with the obtained power consumption threshold; when the calculated power consumption of the first application is greater than the obtained power consumption threshold, the electronic device can output abnormal prompt information to prompt the user that the first application is running abnormally.

[0086] The embodiment of the present application does not limit the output method of the abnormal prompt information, for example, the abnormal prompt information can be output by voice, text, SMS, phone, email, etc. The abnormal prompt information may include but is not limited to the application identifier of the first application, the power consumption of the first application at the first temperature, and the corresponding power consumption threshold.

[0087] Exemplarily, after obtaining the power consumption of a thread or a process, the embodiment of the present application may further determine whether the thread or the process is running abnormally, and the determination process is similar.

[0088] The embodiment of the present application can further determine whether the operation of the application is abnormal based on the measured application power consumption. Since the embodiment of the present application can more accurately measure the application power consumption at different temperatures, it can more accurately analyze whether the operation of the application at different temperatures is abnormal.

[0089] Figure 4 A flowchart of another method for determining power consumption provided in an embodiment of the present application, Figure 4 and Figure 1 The difference is that Figure 4 Also includes S410-S430. Figure 4 Take an electronic device including at least two central processing units as an example.

[0090] S410: When it is detected that the electronic device meets the load balancing condition, the application computing power of the running application in the electronic device is obtained.

[0091] Exemplarily, the electronic device triggers load balancing when detecting the following situations, that is, it is considered that the load balancing condition is met:

[0092] (1) The CPU goes from the running state to the idle state;

[0093] (2) Tick interrupt is detected. Tick interrupt is used to periodically detect whether load balancing is required;

[0094] (3) A misfit task is detected in the CPU runqueue;

[0095] (4) Create a new process or rerun a process in a sleeping / blocked state

[0096] The running application is an application in the running state in the electronic device, and the running application here may include the first application in the above embodiment. Exemplarily, when it is detected that the electronic device meets the load balancing condition, the application computing power of each running application can be obtained. The application computing power is the computing power of the application. Different applications can correspond to different computing powers. The greater the computing power, the higher the performance requirements for the central processing unit. The computing power of each application can be determined based on factors such as the hardware configuration and software support of the electronic device. Under normal circumstances, when the architecture of the electronic device is determined, the computing power of each application in the electronic device is also fixed.

[0097] S420. Determine a target frequency of a target central processor corresponding to the running application according to the application computing power and a second characteristic of each frequency of each central processor at the first temperature, wherein the second characteristic includes at least one of processor computing power and processor power consumption.

[0098] The processor power consumption of the central processing unit at each frequency point at the first temperature, that is, the power consumption of the central processing unit at each frequency point at the first temperature in the above embodiment.

[0099] Exemplarily, when the second feature includes processor computing power, the electronic device can determine the target frequency of the target central processor according to the application computing power of the running application and the processor computing power of each central processor at each frequency at the first temperature. For example, the maximum computing power can be determined from the computing power of each central processor, and the central processor to which the maximum computing power belongs is determined as the target central processor, and the frequency point to which the maximum computing power belongs is determined as the target frequency point.

[0100] For example, if the computing power of CPU 4 at frequency 2.0 and the computing power of CPU 7 at frequency 1.5 are both greater than the computing power of a running application, and the computing power of CPU 4 at frequency 2.0 is greater than the computing power of CPU 7 at frequency 1.5, then CPU 4 can be determined as the target CPU and frequency 2.0 can be determined as the target frequency.

[0101] Exemplarily, when the second feature includes processor power consumption, the minimum power consumption can be determined from the power consumptions of various processors, and the central processor to which the minimum power consumption belongs is determined as the target central processor, and the frequency point to which the minimum power consumption belongs is determined as the target frequency point.

[0102] For example, at the first temperature, the CPU 5 has the lowest processor power consumption at a frequency of 2.5, so the CPU 5 can be determined as the target CPU and the frequency of 2.5 can be determined as the target frequency.

[0103] Exemplarily, when the second feature includes processor computing power and processor power consumption, the central processor and frequency point that match the application computing power of the running application can be determined comprehensively based on the processor computing power and processor power consumption of the central processor at each frequency point.

[0104] Exemplarily, the above S420 may include the following steps:

[0105] According to the application computing power, determine the candidate computing power greater than or equal to the application computing power and the candidate frequency points corresponding to the candidate computing power from the computing power of each processor;

[0106] A frequency point whose processor power consumption is less than a second power consumption threshold value among the candidate frequency points is determined as a target frequency point, and a central processor whose power consumption is less than the second power consumption threshold value is determined as a target central processor.

[0107] The candidate computing power is the processor computing power of each CPU at each frequency point at the first temperature that is greater than or equal to the application computing power of a running application. Candidate frequency points can be obtained based on the candidate computing power, and the electronic device can further determine the target CPU and target frequency point based on power consumption from the candidate frequency points.

[0108] The second power consumption threshold is used to select a frequency point with the lowest power consumption from the candidate frequency points. The second power consumption threshold can be dynamically determined according to the power consumption of the candidate frequency points, as long as the power consumption of the processor at the selected frequency point is the lowest.

[0109] For example, the processor computing power of CPU 4 at 2.0 frequency is the same as that of CPU 7 at 1.5 frequency, and both are greater than the application computing power of a running application. However, at different temperatures, the processor power consumption of CPU 4 at 2.0 frequency is different from that of CPU 7 at 1.5 frequency. Therefore, the CPU and frequency matching the running application can be further determined based on the processor power consumption of CPU 4 at 2.0 frequency and the processor power consumption of CPU 7 at 1.5 frequency.
