[0053] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0054] With the development of the Internet and the popularization of smart devices, computers and servers have become very important tools in work and study and are widely used in various fields. As a result, the demand for high computing power and high bandwidth has increased. PCIe (peripheral component interconnect express) devices serve as a bridge between high-performance computing hardware such as CPU (Central Processing Unit) and GPU and server systems, and their importance in servers has become increasingly prominent.

[0055] In terms of the consistency of graphics processor drivers, suppliers provide special drivers that support automatic updates and manual driver searches to ensure that different models of graphics processor products can obtain the best performance and compatibility. However, the graphics processors provided by different suppliers are different, and the viewing methods of different types of graphics processors are different, resulting in users being unable to view the graphics processors installed on the server under the operating system. The user's application experience on the server is poor, which poses a great challenge to servers with extremely high compatibility. How to be compatible with various graphics processor manufacturers and match graphics processor devices from different manufacturers to achieve adaptive adaptation. In the long run, the best way is to formulate unified standards, and each server manufacturer develops equipment, firmware and drivers in accordance with unified standards, which is difficult to achieve at this stage. To this end, this application proposes a solution for adaptively viewing information of different graphics processors. Without the help of the driver provided by the supplier, the information of the graphics processor can be directly viewed under the operating system.

[0056] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 A flowchart of an information reading method provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0057] An information reading method provided in an embodiment of the present application, applied to an operating system, may include the following steps:

[0058] Step S101: Obtain a target instruction for reading graphics processor information.

[0059] In actual applications, the server's operating system can first obtain a target instruction for reading the graphics processor information, so as to obtain and display the graphics processor information under the triggering of the target instruction. The operating system can obtain the target instruction for reading the graphics processor information by user triggering. For example, the dmidecode tool can be integrated into the operating system, and a type dedicated to reading the graphics processor information is added to the tool to trigger the reading and display process of the graphics processor information under user operation.

[0060] Step S102: responding to the target instruction, triggering an interruption of the system firmware, so that the system firmware controls the management controller to read the target information of the graphics processor, and further enables the system firmware to receive the target information transmitted by the management controller.

[0061] Step S103: receiving target information transmitted by the system firmware.

[0062] Step S104: Display the target information according to the set display mode.

[0063] In actual applications, after the operating system responds to the target instruction, it can trigger the interruption of the system firmware; in this way, the system firmware will enter the interruption, control the management controller to read the target information of the graphics processor, and receive the target information transmitted by the management controller and transmit it to the operating system. The corresponding operating system can receive the target information obtained by the system firmware and display the target information according to the display method set by the user, such as the operating system displays the target information at the set position on the screen according to the set color, font size, font type, etc. Among them, the target information of the graphics processor can be flexibly determined according to the application scenario, for example, the target information of the graphics processor may include the model, manufacturer, physical location, temperature, utilization rate, etc. of the graphics processor.

[0064] In specific application scenarios, considering that different graphics processors have different information reading methods, in order to enable the management controller to accurately and effectively read information from the graphics processor, the operating system can also obtain the information reading method of the graphics processor; store the information reading method in a set non-volatile memory, so that when the management controller needs to read information from the graphics processor, it can read the information reading method stored in the non-volatile memory, and read information from the graphics processor according to the corresponding information reading method.

[0065] In a specific application scenario, the operating system can perform input / output (I / O) operations on the system firmware during the process of triggering an interrupt of the system firmware, so that the system firmware enters an interrupt. That is, the operating system only needs to perform a simple write I / O operation to trigger an interrupt of the system firmware, thereby improving the interaction efficiency between the operating system and the system firmware.

[0066] It should be noted that the types of system firmware and management controller in the present application can be flexibly set according to actual needs, as long as they can implement the solution of the present application. For example, the system firmware can be a basic input and output system (BIOS), and the management controller can be a baseboard management controller (Baseboard Management Controller), iLO (Integrated Light-Out), iDRAC (Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller), etc.

[0067] The present application provides an information reading method, which is applied to an operating system, obtains a target instruction for reading information of a graphics processor; responds to the target instruction, triggers an interruption of the system firmware, so that the system firmware controls the management controller to read the target information of the graphics processor, and then the system firmware receives the target information transmitted by the management controller; receives the target information transmitted by the system firmware; and displays the target information according to a set display mode. In the present application, after the operating system obtains the target instruction and responds, it triggers an interruption of the system firmware, so that after the system firmware enters the interruption, it can read the information of the graphics processor through the management controller to obtain the target information, and then the operating system can obtain the target information for display, so that the target information of the graphics processor can be obtained and displayed by managing the system firmware and the management controller with the help of the operating system, so that the operating system can autonomously display the information of the graphics processor, which can meet the needs of users to view the graphics processor under the operating system, thereby improving the user's application experience of the server.

[0068] See also Figure 2 , Figure 2 Another flow chart of an information reading method provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0069] An information reading method provided in an embodiment of the present application, applied to system firmware, may include the following steps:

[0070] Step S201: in response to the operating system triggering an interrupt of the system firmware, the management controller is controlled to read target information of the graphics processor.

[0071] Step S202: receiving target information transmitted by the management controller.

[0072] Step S203: transmitting the target information to the operating system so that the operating system displays the target information according to the set display mode; wherein the operating system triggers an interrupt of the system firmware after responding to the target instruction for reading the graphics processor information.

[0073] In a specific application scenario, the system firmware, in response to the operating system triggering the interrupt of the system firmware, controls the management controller to read the target information of the graphics processor, and can also determine whether to set the interrupt through the user interface of the system firmware in the driver execution environment (DXE) stage of the system firmware, that is, the user can decide whether to set the interrupt through the user interface of the system firmware. In response to the determination to set the interrupt through the user interface of the system firmware, the interrupt is registered in the system firmware to collect the physical location information and model information of the graphics processor; in this way, in response to the operating system triggering the interrupt of the system firmware, the system firmware controls the management controller to read the target information of the graphics processor. In the process, it can detect whether the interrupt is triggered in the runtime stage of the system firmware. In response to the triggering of the interrupt, the physical location information and model information of the graphics processor are sent to the management controller, and an intelligent platform management interface command representing the information reading of the graphics processor is generated, and the intelligent platform management interface command is sent to the management controller, so that the management controller determines the communication address of the graphics processor according to the physical location information and the model information, and then the management controller reads the target information of the graphics processor according to the communication address. This communication address can be I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit, bidirectional two-wire synchronous serial bus) address, etc.; in addition, after transmitting the target information to the operating system, the system firmware can also exit the interrupt to end the information reading operation on the graphics processor, so that other functions other than obtaining the graphics processor information can be executed.

[0074] It can be seen from the implementation process that the user can decide whether to set an interrupt through the user interface of the system firmware, and the system firmware registers the interrupt in the system firmware in response to the determination of setting the interrupt through the user interface in the driver execution environment stage, which satisfies the user's decision whether to set the interrupt in the system firmware to read the information of the graphics processor, and improves the user's application experience of the system firmware. In addition, the system firmware can collect the physical location information and model information of the graphics processor in the driver execution environment stage, and after detecting the triggering interrupt in the running stage, send the physical location information and model information of the graphics processor to the management controller, generate an intelligent platform management interface command representing the information reading of the graphics processor, and send the intelligent platform management interface command to the management controller, so that the management controller can quickly determine the communication address of the graphics processor according to the physical location information and model information, and then enable the management controller to read the target information of the graphics processor according to the communication address, so that the management controller can quickly and accurately read the information of the graphics processor, thereby improving the information display efficiency; in addition, after transmitting the target information to the operating system, the system firmware can also exit the interrupt to end the information reading operation of the graphics processor, so that other functions other than obtaining the graphics processor information can be executed.

[0075] In a specific application scenario, after receiving the target information transmitted by the management firmware, the system firmware can also detect whether the target information contains garbled characters before transmitting the target information to the operating system; in response to the target information not containing garbled characters, it detects whether the target information exceeds a preset information range; in response to the target information not exceeding the information range, it executes the step of transmitting the target information to the operating system. In this way, the system firmware transmits the target information to the operating system only after the target information contains no garbled characters and the target information does not exceed the information range, which can ensure that the operating system obtains correct and valid target information for display, thereby improving the accuracy of the graphics processor information display.

[0076] In a specific application scenario, when there is garbled code in the target information or the target information exceeds the information range, it can be determined that the target information is wrong and the number of errors in the target information can be accumulated; it is detected whether the number of errors in the target information exceeds the set number, if not, it returns to sending the intelligent platform management interface command to the management controller and the subsequent steps, if it exceeds, the server is controlled to restart. In this way, even if there is garbled code in the target information or the target information exceeds the information range, the present application can re-read the information of the graphics processor by re-sending the intelligent platform management interface command to the management controller, so as to ensure that the correct information of the graphics processor is read by re-reading the operation for the set number of times, and when the correct information of the graphics processor cannot be read by re-reading the operation for the set number of times, the information of the graphics processor can be re-read by restarting the server, which can improve the success rate of information reading of the graphics processor and improve the success rate of the present application scheme.

[0077] For the relevant description of the information reading method applied to the system firmware provided in the present application, please refer to the above embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0078] In order to facilitate understanding of the information reading solution provided by the present application, it is now assumed that the system firmware is a basic input and output system and the management controller is a baseboard management controller. The whole process may include the following steps:

[0079] In the driver execution environment stage, the basic input and output system determines whether to set an interrupt through its own user interface. In response to the determination of setting an interrupt through the user interface of the system firmware, the basic input and output system registers an interrupt to collect the physical location information and model information of the graphics processor; that is, an option of whether to set an interrupt can be provided in the user interface of the basic input and output system, and the option can be a virtual button or an instruction with a selection box, etc. In this way, the user only needs to operate the option to inform the basic input and output system whether to set an interrupt to enable the process of reading the graphics processor information. For example, after the user clicks the virtual button, the basic input and output system can determine that an interrupt needs to be set to enable the subsequent process of reading the graphics processor information, etc.;

[0080] The user triggers the preset information in the dmidecode tool integrated into the operating system;

[0081] After the operating system detects that the preset information in the integrated dmidecode tool is triggered, it performs a write input / output operation on the basic input / output system;

[0082] After the basic input / output system enters the operation phase, if the write input / output operation is detected, an interrupt is entered, the physical location information and model information of the graphics processor collected in the driver execution environment phase are sent to the baseboard management controller, an intelligent platform management interface command representing information reading of the graphics processor is generated, and the intelligent platform management interface command is sent to the baseboard management controller;

[0083] The baseboard management controller responds to the intelligent platform management interface command, determines the bidirectional two-wire synchronous serial bus address of the graphics processor according to the physical location information and the model information, reads the target information of the graphics processor according to the bidirectional two-wire synchronous serial bus address, and transmits the read target information to the basic input and output system;

[0084] The basic input / output system receives the target information transmitted by the baseboard management controller, and detects whether the target information contains garbled characters; in response to the target information not containing garbled characters, detects whether the target information exceeds a preset information range; in response to the target information not exceeding the information range, transmits the target information to the operating system;

[0085] The operating system displays the target information at the set position on the screen according to the set color, font size, and font type.
