The purpose and other advantages of the present invention can be realized and obtained by the structures particularly pointed out in the written description, claims, and drawings. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0034] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of this specification more clear, the technical solutions of this specification will be clearly and completely described below in combination with the specific embodiments of this specification and the corresponding drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of this specification, not all of them. Based on the embodiments in this specification, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this specification.

[0035] As described herein, the term “including” and various variations thereof may be understood as open-ended terms meaning “including but not limited to,” and the term “one embodiment” may be understood as “at least one embodiment.”

[0036] The inventors have discovered that the existing host health monitoring and management system can only realize hardware detection information for a single circuit motherboard, and can only adjust the basic performance of computer components through a single-chip microcomputer, but cannot adjust the working status of key components such as the CPU and bridge chip inside the computer. In view of this, in an embodiment of the present invention, by configuring the computer BIOS policy, it has higher health management authority, can quickly adjust the CPU load frequency, GPU response speed, and perform deep health management such as DDR4 read and write stress testing, thereby effectively realizing multi-motherboard computer health detection and response.

[0037] Figure 1 The structural diagram of a multi-mainboard host health monitoring management system of an embodiment of the present application is schematically shown, including: a lower computer data acquisition unit 1, a lower computer data analysis and processing unit 2, an upper computer heterogeneous integration unit 3, a user display interface 4, and a remote processing unit 5.

[0038] In specific implementation, the lower computer data acquisition unit 1 is used to communicate data with computer motherboard components to obtain information such as computer motherboard temperature, voltage, fan speed, etc.; the lower computer data analysis and processing unit 2 is responsible for analyzing and processing the collected data, detecting abnormal data, calculating the average value and comparing it with the preset threshold; the upper computer heterogeneous integration unit 3 merges and organizes multiple groups of data from the lower computer based on multi-source heterogeneous information processing technology, and uniformly sends the data to the remote unit; the user display interface 4 is a complete Web interface so that the user can intuitively view the health status and historical data of the computer; the remote processing unit 5 is a SOC system integrated with a single-chip microcomputer, which allows the user to implement deep system management functions such as CPU load allocation, GPU load allocation, DDR4 read and write stress testing, and network port transmission performance testing through pre-set BIOS instructions, and can intervene in various indicators displayed by the computer within the local area network.

[0039] Specifically, the lower computer data acquisition unit 1 is a data acquisition unit with a single chip microcomputer as the main component, integrating key acquisition modules such as a temperature sensor, a voltage and current ADC sampler, and a PWM fan control combination.

[0040] Specifically, the lower computer data analysis and processing unit 2 is composed of multiple groups of functions, which send the collected information to the single chip microcomputer for real-time calculation and analysis, including functions such as removing abnormal values, smoothing data, and reducing noise.

[0041] Specifically, the host computer heterogeneous integration unit 3 can simultaneously and synchronously collect multiple data sources with inconsistent data structures, and send the integrated data to the user display interface 4.

[0042] Specifically, the remote processing unit 5 integrates multiple management functions and has remote diagnosis, remote alarm, and remote control functions. The unit is deployed via the Web, and users can remotely control and maintain the computer based on the detailed data on the display interface 4 .

[0043] Furthermore, the lower computer data acquisition unit 1 performs asynchronous communication with the computer mainboard via the RS232 serial port, and the collected data is stored in a Flash chip of the computer mainboard.

[0044] Furthermore, the remote processing unit 5 integrates multiple groups of CPU instruction sets, and the user can perform memory read and write stress testing, network port transmission data performance testing, CPU load adjustment, fan speed control and other adjustment functions on the computer based on the information warning made by the display interface.

[0045] In one embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, the lower computer data acquisition unit 1 and the data processing and analysis unit 2 receive the initialization instruction to configure the clock, GPIO, DMA, ADC, serial port, and watchdog, and collect the mainboard component information through the asynchronous serial port connected to the mainboard.

[0046] Specifically, the lower computer data acquisition unit 1 performs voltage acquisition and current acquisition and sends the data to the data processing and analysis unit 2 .

[0047] Specifically, the lower computer data processing and analysis unit 2 is provided with an outlier screening function, an outlier processing and clearing function, a sliding window function, and a filtering and noise reduction function to detect abnormal data, calculate the average value and compare it with a preset threshold value and upload the data to the upper computer heterogeneous integration unit 3.

[0048] In one embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, the host computer heterogeneous integration unit 3 receives the initialization instruction to collect and integrate multi-source information, and checks multiple groups of data information through the asynchronous serial port connected to the mainboard based on the multi-source heterogeneous technology.

[0049] In a specific implementation, the multi-source information includes voltage and current based on the IIC bus, fan speed information, network port enable status information based on the network port chip, CPU instruction information based on the BIOS firmware, and traffic throughput information based on the transmission network port.

[0050] In one embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, the user can view information such as the computer motherboard temperature, voltage, fan speed, network environment, etc. in this interface. The page can be deployed through the Web so that the user can remotely control and maintain the computer through the remote processing unit based on the detailed data of the display interface 4.

[0051] Further, such as Figure 5 As shown, the remote processing unit is integrated in the Flash chip and MCU of the computer motherboard, including the BIOS instruction set of the CPU and the bridge chip. The health management system with BIOS instructions has higher authority, which allows users to control computer performance according to the specific information of the display interface under remote conditions.

[0052] Furthermore, the computer performance control includes CPU load adjustment, GPU load adjustment, fan PWM control, network port chip network port enable control, DDR4 read and write stress test, and network port throughput detection function. When the internal temperature of the computer is too high, the user can control the fan speed through PWM to quickly cool down the computer, and monitor sensitive data such as voltage and current inside the computer and the operating status of key components through serial port debugging. If this method still cannot alleviate the computer temperature, or this method still cannot return the computer to a healthy indicator state, the user can enter the BIOS health management state and apply the pre-set instruction set to deeply control the computer, reduce the CPU and GPU load temperature by temporarily modifying the CPU and GPU load percentage, and switch the switch state of uncommon network ports through the network card chip BIOS instruction set, etc., to quickly return the computer to a healthy state.

[0053] Furthermore, when the computer returns to a healthy state, the user can perform DDR4 read and write stress tests, network port throughput stress tests, and CPU full load stress tests based on the pre-set BIOS instruction set to determine whether the previous abnormal state has damaged the internal components of the computer and perform maintenance on the computer in a timely manner.

[0054] The above-mentioned embodiment constructs a multi-motherboard host health monitoring and management system, which performs real-time monitoring and processing on the health information of multiple motherboards based on multi-source heterogeneous data real-time processing technology. After defining the master-slave relationship of multiple motherboards, the system is deployed on one of the motherboards through a Web application. The other motherboards periodically report the motherboard hardware information and network status information through the health management software. Compared with the traditional health management system, the present invention has higher health management authority by configuring the computer BIOS policy, and can quickly adjust the CPU load frequency, GPU response speed, and perform deep health management such as DDR4 read and write stress testing, which can more effectively realize multi-motherboard computer health detection and response.
