[0050] In order to solve the above technical problem, the present invention also provides a computer-readable storage medium, on which a computer program is stored. When the computer program is executed by a processor, the steps of the above server energy consumption control method are implemented.

[0051] The beneficial effect of the present invention lies in that, in the method, the current utilization of the processor and the preset frequency range of the non-core components of the processor are first obtained; then, when it is detected that the current utilization is less than or equal to the preset utilization of the processor when the server is idle, the target frequency value of the non-core components of the processor when the server is idle is determined according to the preset frequency range; finally, the frequency range of the non-core components of the processor is controlled to be between the minimum value of the preset frequency range and the target frequency value. Compared with the method of directly reducing the frequency of the core components of the processor to reduce the energy consumption of the server, in the method provided by the present invention, the frequency of the non-core components of the processor is reduced from the maximum value of the preset frequency range to between the target frequency values, that is, the frequency of the non-core components of the processor is reduced instead of the frequency of the core components of the processor, so that the purpose of reducing the energy consumption of the server is achieved without significantly affecting the performance of the processor; moreover, in this method, the frequency of the non-core components of the processor is reduced only when it is determined that the server is idle, rather than reducing the frequency of the non-core components of the processor when the server is busy, so that the energy consumption of the server when it is idle is reduced and the performance of the server when it is busy is guaranteed as much as possible; in addition, the frequency range of the non-core components of the processor is controlled to be between the minimum value of the preset frequency range and the target frequency value, rather than controlling the frequency of the non-core components of the processor to be a fixed value, so that the frequency of the non-core components of the processor is ensured to be flexible. Adjustment.

[0052] In addition, when determining the target frequency value of the non-core component of the processor when the server is idle, the difference between the maximum value of the preset frequency range and the minimum value of the preset frequency range is obtained; the product result of the difference and the frequency setting coefficient is obtained; and the target frequency value of the non-core component of the processor when the server is idle is determined according to the result after adding the minimum value of the preset frequency range and the product result. The target frequency value of the non-core component of the processor when the server is idle is quantitatively and accurately obtained.

[0053] Before controlling the frequency range of the non-core components of the processor to be between the minimum value of the preset frequency range and the target frequency value, it is first determined whether the duration of the processor utilization when the current utilization is less than or equal to the preset server idle time has reached the preset idle time. Only when it is reached, the frequency range of the non-core components of the processor is controlled to be between the minimum value of the preset frequency range and the target frequency value, thereby achieving effective frequency reduction of the non-core components of the processor.

[0054] Before determining whether the duration during which the current utilization is less than or equal to the preset utilization of the processor when the server is idle has reached the preset idle duration, first determine whether the maximum value of the current frequency range is the target frequency value, that is, determine whether the frequency reduction operation has been performed. If the frequency has not been reduced, then further determine based on the value of the time variable and the current time whether the duration during which the current utilization is less than or equal to the preset utilization of the processor when the server is idle has reached the preset idle duration. Only when it has reached the preset idle duration is the frequency range of the non-core components of the processor controlled to be between the minimum value of the preset frequency range and the target frequency value, thereby further achieving effective frequency reduction of the non-core components of the processor.

[0055] When it is detected that the current utilization is greater than the preset utilization of the processor when the server is idle, and when it is determined that the duration of the current utilization being greater than the preset utilization of the processor when the server is idle is greater than the preset duration, the frequency range of the non-core components of the processor is controlled to be between the target frequency value and the maximum value of the preset frequency range. On the one hand, by increasing the maximum value of the frequency of the non-core components of the processor, the performance of the server when it is busy is guaranteed; on the other hand, the effective frequency increase of the non-core components of the processor is achieved.

[0056] Before controlling the frequency range of the non-core components of the processor to be between the target frequency value and the maximum value of the preset frequency range, it is first determined whether the maximum value of the current frequency range of the non-core components of the processor is the target frequency value. If so, the frequency range of the non-core components of the processor is controlled to be between the target frequency value and the maximum value of the preset frequency range, thereby further realizing effective frequency increase of the non-core components of the processor when the server is busy, thereby ensuring the performance of the server.

[0057] Before obtaining the current utilization of the processor and the preset frequency range of the processor's non-core components, the preset processor utilization when the server is idle, the frequency setting coefficient of the processor's non-core components and the preset detection period are first stored in the configuration file, thereby realizing the recording of data during server energy consumption control, which is convenient for users to view.

[0058] In addition, the present invention also provides a server energy consumption control device, a server, and a computer-readable storage medium, which have the same or corresponding technical features as the above-mentioned server energy consumption control method and have the same effects as above.

[0064] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0065] The core component of the present invention is to provide a server energy consumption control method, device, server and medium to solve the technical problem that related energy consumption reduction methods mainly focus on adjusting the frequency of processor core components, resulting in that reducing the frequency of processor core components will directly affect computing performance.

[0066] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods. Figure 1 A flow chart of a server energy consumption control method provided by an embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0067] S10: obtaining a current utilization rate of the processor and a preset frequency range of a non-core component of the processor;

[0068] S11: when it is detected that the current utilization is less than or equal to the preset utilization of the processor when the server is idle, determining the target frequency value of the non-core component of the processor when the server is idle according to the preset frequency range;

[0069] The target frequency value is greater than the minimum value of the preset frequency range and less than the maximum value of the preset frequency range;

[0070] S12: Control the frequency range of the non-core components of the processor to be between a minimum value of a preset frequency range and a target frequency value, so as to control the energy consumption of the server.

[0071] The processor includes the processor core components and the processor non-core components. The "non-core components" of the processor generally refer to other components besides the core components (Core) of the processor. These non-core components include but are not limited to: cache, integrated memory controller, fast path interconnect bus, power consumption and clock control unit and other peripheral modules. In general, non-core components refer to those components that are not directly involved in instruction execution and data processing, but are critical to the overall performance and functionality of the processor. Together, they support the operation of the core components and enable the processor to interact more efficiently with external devices and other parts of the system.

[0072] Considering that directly reducing the frequency of the processor to reduce the energy consumption of the server will directly affect the performance of the processor, and through experiments, it is known that the frequency of the non-core components of the server processor is a major factor affecting the energy consumption of the server, therefore, in the embodiments of the present invention, the purpose of reducing the energy consumption of the server is achieved by reducing the frequency of the non-core components of the processor.

[0073] The minimum value corresponding to the preset frequency range of the non-core component of the processor can be recorded as the minimum settable non-core component frequency value, and the maximum value can be recorded as the maximum settable non-core component frequency value. In order to obtain the preset frequency range of the non-core component of the processor, you can first check the non-core component module of the server and check the directory related to the non-core component frequency, such as checking the files in the / sys / devices / uncore_* / * / cpufreq / directory. The asterisk here represents the specific device and core component identifier. Here, you only need to check one directory, and then read the file that records the minimum settable non-core component frequency value (such as the scaling_min_freq file) and the file that records the maximum settable non-core component frequency value (such as the scaling_max_freq file) to obtain the preset frequency range of the non-core component of the processor.

[0074] Determine the target frequency value of the non-core component of the processor when the server is idle according to the preset frequency range. There is no limitation on the target frequency value of the non-core component of the processor when the server is idle, as long as the target frequency value is greater than the minimum value of the preset frequency range and less than the maximum value of the preset frequency range. In order to accurately determine the target frequency value of the non-core component of the processor when the server is idle, in implementation, determining the target frequency value of the non-core component of the processor when the server is idle according to the preset frequency range includes:

[0075] Get the frequency setting coefficient of the non-core component of the processor;

[0076] Obtaining a difference between a maximum value of a preset frequency range and a minimum value of the preset frequency range;

[0077] Get the product of the difference and the frequency setting coefficient;

[0078] The target frequency value of the non-core component of the processor when the server is idle is determined according to the result of adding the minimum value of the preset frequency range and the product result.

[0079] The value of the frequency setting coefficient of the non-core component of the processor is between 0 and 1. The frequency setting coefficient is used to calculate the target frequency value of the non-core component of the processor when the server is idle and needs to be set when the server is identified to be in an idle state. The frequency setting coefficient can be adjusted according to actual conditions.

[0080] The target frequency value of the non-core components of the processor when the server is idle is calculated as follows:

[0081] When the server is idle, the target frequency value of the non-core component of the processor = the minimum settable non-core component frequency value + (the maximum settable non-core component frequency value - the minimum settable non-core component frequency value) × the frequency setting coefficient of the non-core component of the processor.

[0082] When obtaining the preset processor utilization when the server is idle, that is, the processor utilization when the server is not running any business applications. A specific example is that you can view the processor utilization through the top command. In the output of the top command, grab the "%Cpu(s)" line, parse the idle rate (id) as the percentage of the processor's idle time, and configure the value of id as the preset processor utilization when the server is idle. In addition to obtaining the above-mentioned processor utilization when the server is idle and the frequency setting coefficient of the processor's non-core components, in practice, parameters such as the detection cycle and preset idle time can also be preset. In order to facilitate users to view and use parameters, before obtaining the current processor utilization and the preset frequency range of the processor's non-core components, it also includes: obtaining the preset processor utilization when the server is idle, the frequency setting coefficient of the processor's non-core components, and the preset detection cycle;

[0083] The preset utilization rate of the processor when the server is idle, the frequency setting coefficient of the non-core component of the processor and the preset detection cycle are stored in the configuration file.

[0084] Since the preset server idle processor utilization, processor non-core component frequency setting coefficient and preset detection cycle are stored in the configuration file in advance, the values ​​of these parameters can be obtained from the configuration file when performing server energy consumption control.

[0085] When obtaining the current utilization of the processor, you can use the top command to view the current processor idle rate of the server. In the output of the top command, grab the "%Cpu(s)" line and parse the idle rate (id) to obtain the percentage of the processor's idle time.

[0086] The current utilization of the processor is calculated as:

[0087] The current utilization of the processor = (100 - the current idle rate of the server's processor) / 100.

[0088] After obtaining the current utilization of the processor, the current utilization is compared with the preset utilization of the processor when the server is idle. When it is detected that the current utilization is less than or equal to the preset utilization of the processor when the server is idle, the target frequency value of the non-core component of the processor when the server is idle is determined according to the preset frequency range; the frequency range of the non-core component of the processor is controlled to be between the minimum value of the preset frequency range and the target frequency value. Since the maximum value of the frequency range of the non-core component of the processor is reduced from the maximum value of the preset frequency range to the target frequency value, the energy consumption of the server is reduced.

[0089] In the method provided by an embodiment of the present invention, the current utilization of the processor and the preset frequency range of the non-core components of the processor are first obtained; then, when it is detected that the current utilization is less than or equal to the preset utilization of the processor when the server is idle, the target frequency value of the non-core components of the processor when the server is idle is determined according to the preset frequency range; finally, the frequency range of the non-core components of the processor is controlled to be between the minimum value of the preset frequency range and the target frequency value. Compared with the method of directly reducing the frequency of the core components of the processor to reduce the energy consumption of the server, in the method provided by the present invention, the frequency of the non-core components of the processor is reduced from the maximum value of the preset frequency range to between the target frequency values, that is, the frequency of the non-core components of the processor is reduced instead of the frequency of the core components of the processor, so that the purpose of reducing the energy consumption of the server is achieved without significantly affecting the performance of the processor; moreover, in this method, the frequency of the non-core components of the processor is reduced only when it is determined that the server is idle, rather than reducing the frequency of the non-core components of the processor when the server is busy, so that the energy consumption of the server when it is idle is reduced and the performance of the server when it is busy is guaranteed as much as possible; in addition, the frequency range of the non-core components of the processor is controlled to be between the minimum value of the preset frequency range and the target frequency value, rather than controlling the frequency of the non-core components of the processor to be a fixed value, so that the frequency of the non-core components of the processor is ensured to be flexible. Adjustment.

[0090] In some embodiments, in order to effectively reduce the frequency of the non-core component of the processor, before controlling the frequency range of the non-core component of the processor to be between the minimum value of the preset frequency range and the target frequency value, the method further includes:

[0091] Starting from detecting that the current utilization is less than or equal to the preset utilization of the processor when the server is idle, determining whether the duration of the current utilization being less than or equal to the preset utilization of the processor when the server is idle reaches a preset idle duration;

[0092] If yes, then enter the step of controlling the frequency range of the non-core component of the processor to be between the minimum value of the preset frequency range and the target frequency value;

[0093] If not, then the process returns to the step of obtaining the current utilization of the processor after waiting for a preset detection period.

[0094] There is no limit on the preset idle time and the preset detection cycle, which are determined according to the actual situation. For example, the preset idle time is set to 1 minute, and the preset detection cycle is set to 15 seconds.

[0095] In the method provided in this embodiment, before controlling the frequency range of the non-core components of the processor to be between the minimum value of the preset frequency range and the target frequency value, it is first determined whether the duration of the current utilization being less than or equal to the preset processor utilization when the server is idle reaches the preset idle duration. Only when it reaches the preset idle duration is the frequency range of the non-core components of the processor controlled to be between the minimum value of the preset frequency range and the target frequency value, thereby achieving effective frequency reduction of the non-core components of the processor.

[0096] In an implementation, after controlling the frequency range of the non-core component of the processor to be between the minimum value of the preset frequency range and the target frequency value, the method further includes:

[0097] After the self-detection shows that the frequency range of the non-core component of the control processor is within the minimum value of the preset frequency range and the target frequency value, the energy consumption of the server within the preset time is obtained;

[0098] Determine whether the energy consumption of the server within a preset time is less than a preset energy consumption;

[0099] If yes, return to the step of obtaining the current utilization of the processor and the preset frequency range of the non-core component of the processor;

[0100] If not, the frequency setting coefficient of the non-core component of the processor is adjusted, and the process returns to the step of obtaining the current utilization rate of the processor and the preset frequency range of the non-core component of the processor.

[0101] There is no limit on the preset time, which is determined according to the actual situation. In the method provided in this embodiment, after controlling the frequency range of the non-core components of the processor to be within the minimum value of the preset frequency range and the target frequency value, it is verified whether the energy consumption of the server is reduced. If the energy consumption is reduced, the current utilization rate of the processor is continuously monitored, so as to dynamically adjust the frequency of the non-core components of the processor according to the current utilization rate of the processor in real time; if the energy consumption is not reduced, the target frequency value of the non-core components of the processor when the server is idle is adjusted by adjusting the frequency setting coefficient of the non-core components of the processor, and the current utilization rate of the processor is continuously monitored, so as to ensure that the energy consumption of the server can be reduced as much as possible.

[0102] When it is detected that the current utilization is less than or equal to the preset utilization of the processor when the server is idle, it is determined that the non-core components of the processor need to be frequency-reduced. However, in practice, the frequency may have been over-reduced. In order to effectively reduce the frequency of the non-core components of the processor, before determining whether the duration of the current utilization being less than or equal to the preset utilization of the processor when the server is idle reaches the preset idle time, it also includes:

[0103] Get the maximum value of the current frequency range of the non-core component of the processor;

[0104] Determine whether the maximum value of the current frequency range is the target frequency value;

[0105] If yes, then wait for a preset detection period and then return to the step of obtaining the current utilization of the processor;

[0106] If not, set the time variable;

[0107] When it is detected that the value of the time variable is not empty, the initial value of the time variable is obtained, and the current time is used as the final value of the time variable, and the step of determining whether the duration of the current utilization being less than or equal to the preset utilization of the processor when the server is idle reaches the preset idle duration;

[0108] When it is detected that the value of the time variable is empty, the current time is used as the starting value of the time variable, and after waiting for a preset detection period, the step of returning to obtain the current utilization of the processor is performed;

[0109] Determining whether the duration during which the current utilization is less than or equal to the preset utilization of the processor when the server is idle reaches the preset idle duration includes:

[0110] Get the time difference between the final value and the starting value;

[0111] Determine whether the time difference reaches the preset idle time;

[0112] After controlling the frequency range of the non-core component of the processor to be between the minimum value of the preset frequency range and the target frequency value, the method further includes:

[0113] The initial value of the time variable is adjusted to be empty, and after waiting for a preset detection period, the step of returning to obtain the current utilization of the processor is performed.

[0114] In the method provided in this embodiment, before determining whether the duration during which the current utilization rate is less than or equal to the preset utilization rate of the processor when the server is idle has reached the preset idle time, it is first determined whether the maximum value of the current frequency range is the target frequency value, that is, whether the frequency reduction operation has been performed. If the frequency has not been reduced, it is further determined based on the value of the time variable and the current time whether the duration during which the current utilization rate is less than or equal to the preset utilization rate of the processor when the server is idle has reached the preset idle time. Only when it has reached the preset idle time is the frequency range of the non-core components of the processor controlled to be between the minimum value of the preset frequency range and the target frequency value, thereby further achieving effective frequency reduction of the non-core components of the processor.

[0115] The above describes the processing process when it is detected that the current utilization is less than or equal to the preset utilization of the processor when the server is idle. In practice, it may also be detected that the current utilization is greater than the preset utilization of the processor when the server is idle. The following describes the processing method when it is detected that the current utilization is greater than the preset utilization of the processor when the server is idle.

[0116] Specifically, when it is detected that the current utilization is greater than the preset utilization of the processor when the server is idle, it is determined whether the duration for which the current utilization is greater than the preset utilization of the processor when the server is idle is greater than a preset duration;

[0117] If so, the frequency range of the non-core component of the control processor is between the target frequency value and the maximum value of the preset frequency range;

[0118] If not, the frequency range of the non-core component of the processor is controlled to be between the minimum value of the preset frequency range and the target frequency value.

[0119] There is no limit on the preset duration, which is determined according to actual conditions. If it is detected that the current utilization is greater than the preset utilization of the processor when the server is idle, it is determined that the server is in a busy state. In this case, in order to ensure the performance of the server, the frequency range of the non-core component of the processor is controlled to be between the target frequency value and the maximum value of the preset frequency range, that is, the non-core component of the processor is frequency-upgraded.

[0120] Before the frequency increase process, if the maximum value of the current frequency range of the non-core component of the processor is already the maximum value of the preset frequency range, if the frequency increase operation is continued, it is an invalid frequency increase. Therefore, before controlling the frequency range of the non-core component of the processor to be between the target frequency value and the maximum value of the preset frequency range, it also includes:

[0121] Get the maximum value of the current frequency range of the non-core component of the processor;

[0122] Determine whether the maximum value of the current frequency range is the target frequency value;

[0123] If so, the frequency range of the non-core component of the control processor is between the target frequency value and the maximum value of the preset frequency range;

[0124] If not, then the process returns to the step of obtaining the current utilization of the processor after waiting for a preset detection period.

[0125] In the method provided in this embodiment, before controlling the frequency range of the non-core component of the processor to be between the target frequency value and the maximum value of the preset frequency range, it is first determined whether the maximum value of the current frequency range of the non-core component of the processor is the target frequency value. If so, the frequency range of the non-core component of the processor is controlled to be between the target frequency value and the maximum value of the preset frequency range, thereby further realizing effective frequency upgrading of the non-core component of the processor when the server is busy, thereby ensuring the performance of the server.
