Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of computer science and technology, and in particular, to a BIOS, a computer, and a system startup optimization method based on an adaptive strategy and intelligent scheduling. Background Art

[0002] The fields of computer system architecture, operating system, and hardware acceleration are the core fields of computer science, involving the interaction between computer hardware, software, and operating systems. In a computer system, the Basic Input Output System (BIOS) is the first piece of software when the computer starts up, responsible for initializing hardware devices and loading the operating system. With the development of computer hardware, the complexity and speed requirements of computer systems are getting higher and higher. How to optimize the startup process of the BIOS and improve the system startup speed and resource utilization has become an important issue.

[0003] In the existing technologies, the startup process of the BIOS is usually fixed, that is, initializing hardware devices and loading the operating system in a preset order. Although this method is simple, it cannot adapt to different hardware environments and load conditions, resulting in a slower system startup speed and lower resource utilization in complex hardware environments. Specifically, the existing BIOS startup process has at least the following deficiencies: (1) It cannot adapt to different hardware environments and load conditions, resulting in a slower system startup speed and lower resource utilization in complex hardware environments; (2) In some advanced computer systems, although intelligent scheduling technologies have been introduced, the existing intelligent scheduling technologies are usually based on simple rules and experiences, lacking the ability of self-learning and optimization, and it is difficult to adapt to the changes in the hardware environment and the dynamic changes in the system load; (3) Especially when dealing with the execution order and resource allocation of multiple tasks, given that the existing intelligent scheduling technologies rely on fixed rules and lack flexibility, they cannot make full use of the advantages of multi-core processors and high-speed storage devices.

[0019] According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method for optimizing the startup of a computer system, comprising the following steps: Obtain the configuration information of the hardware of the computer system, and determine the first BIOS startup process according to the configuration information of the hardware.

[0027] In view of the fact that the existing BIOS startup optimization technologies are stretched when facing the complexity and higher speed requirements of modern computer systems, the present application proposes a BIOS based on adaptive strategies and intelligent scheduling, which can improve the startup speed of computer systems and the resource utilization rate during the startup process of computer systems.

[0028] In an embodiment of the present invention, a BIOS based on adaptive strategies and intelligent scheduling is provided. Refer to Figure 1 , the BIOS includes a hardware detection module, a startup process manager, a resource monitoring module, and an intelligent scheduling engine; Among them, the hardware detection module is configured to obtain the configuration information of the hardware and transmit it to the startup process manager (BSPM); The startup process manager is configured to determine and execute a first BIOS startup process according to the configuration information of the hardware, and the first BIOS startup process includes system resource allocation and startup paths for each piece of hardware; The resource monitoring module is configured to obtain current startup data and transmit it to the intelligent scheduling engine, and the current startup data includes system load, memory occupancy, storage bandwidth, and I / O operation speed during the current startup process; The intelligent scheduling engine is configured to optimize the first BIOS startup process according to the current startup data and historical startup data to obtain a second BIOS startup process, and the second BIOS startup process has system resource allocation and / or startup paths different from those of the first BIOS startup process; The startup process manager is further configured to execute the second BIOS startup process.

[0029] As Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 described, the hardware detection module scans the hardware to identify configuration information such as the CPU model, number of cores, storage device type, memory parameters, and hardware adaptability results of the computer system, and interacts with the startup process manager to provide the configuration information of the hardware to the startup process manager.

[0030] As Figures 1 to 3 and Figure 5 shown, the startup process manager then determines the system resource allocation and startup paths for BIOS loading according to the configuration information of the hardware, and thus determines the first BIOS startup process. The main responsibility of the startup process manager (BSPM) is to manage and coordinate the initial allocation of hardware and software resources during the startup process. It decides the basic startup path of the system and the amount of system resource allocation according to the hardware configuration information provided by the hardware detection module.

[0031] Specifically, the startup process manager will make resource scheduling arrangements during startup based on the initial state of the hardware (such as whether it is multi-core, memory size, etc.), such as processing corresponding tasks in parallel or sequentially executing corresponding tasks. The startup process manager is one of the decision-making engines during system startup, responsible for deciding which tasks to execute during startup and the order of execution. It can make some preliminary judgments on hardware configuration, such as allocating memory addresses, I / O ports, and device detection.

[0032] The allocation of system resources during the BIOS startup process is mainly reflected in the initialization and configuration of the following four aspects of hardware devices: (1) Memory address space allocation: The BIOS allocates memory address space for hardware devices (such as PCIe devices) for data exchange between the devices and the system; (2) I / O port allocation: The BIOS allocates I / O ports for the devices so that the operating system can communicate with the devices through these ports; (3) Interrupt vector allocation: The BIOS allocates interrupt vectors for the devices to manage signal transmission between the devices and the CPU; (4) Device detection and initialization: The BIOS detects the hardware devices in the system at startup and initializes them to ensure that the devices can work properly.

[0033] The startup process manager mainly makes an initial plan for the startup path according to the dependencies between tasks, the priorities of tasks, and the number of cores during the startup process to obtain the startup path in the first BIOS startup process.

[0034] It should be noted that in this application, the startup path and the task scheduling order are two different concepts. The startup path refers to the logical process or path of task execution during startup. The startup path usually refers to the execution order and method of each task during the entire system startup process. It involves multiple stages such as hardware initialization, driver loading, and operating system booting. The startup path is a large framework describing the entire startup process, defining the execution steps and processes of tasks. For example: Startup path E may first initialize the hard disk, then load the operating system kernel, and then load peripheral drivers. Startup path F may first perform hardware detection, and then load the operating system and hard disk drivers in parallel, etc. The task scheduling order refers to the order and priority of specific task execution during startup. The task scheduling order involves how to arrange tasks to execute in the startup path, including which tasks can be executed in parallel and which tasks can be postponed.

[0035] Such as Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, the resource monitoring module is responsible for continuously monitoring the real-time usage of resources during startup, including current startup data such as CPU load, memory occupancy, storage bandwidth, and I / O operation speed. The resource monitoring module collects resource usage data through interaction with the hardware layer interface for subsequent dynamic adjustment of BIOS resource allocation and startup path optimization. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The solid lines in Figure 1 and Figure 2 represent the process of initially determining system resource allocation and startup path,

[0036] Specifically, during the BIOS startup process, the resource monitoring module will continuously acquire and record data such as CPU load, memory occupancy, storage bandwidth, and I / O operation speed. These monitoring data can reflect the current resource usage of the system, and are used to determine whether the first BIOS startup process is reasonable and can be further optimized. For example, when the system starts up, if the CPU load is very high, it may mean that the system is processing a large number of computing tasks. At this time, it is necessary to adjust the execution order of tasks to avoid resource contention caused by excessive parallel tasks. If the memory occupancy is relatively high, the system may need to postpone or adjust the execution order of some tasks to avoid overloading the memory during the startup process. Monitoring of storage bandwidth and I / O operation speed can help the system identify which devices or tasks need to be processed first during startup to optimize the resource scheduling of the hard disk, memory, and CPU.

[0037] For example, the resource monitoring module obtains a CPU load of 30%, a memory occupancy of 50%, a storage bandwidth of 100 MB / s, and 1000 I / O operations per second. It transmits the above acquired resource usage data to the intelligent scheduling engine (AI engine) in real time, so that the intelligent scheduling engine can adjust the priority, execution order of tasks, and the amount of system resource allocation for each task according to the load situation.

[0038] Such as Figure 1 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown in

[0039] Such as Figure 9As shown, the continuous optimization of the system startup process is reflected in not only optimizing the first BIOS startup process, but also including optimizing the second BIOS startup process during the execution of the second BIOS startup process by the startup process manager. Specifically, during the execution of the second BIOS startup process, the resource monitoring module obtains the current startup data again and transmits it to the intelligent scheduling engine. The intelligent scheduling engine optimizes the second BIOS startup process again according to the current startup data and historical startup data to obtain a third BIOS startup process, and the third BIOS startup process has a system resource allocation and / or startup path different from that of the second BIOS startup process; the startup process manager executes the third BIOS startup process.

[0040] When optimizing the first BIOS startup process, Figure 9 the current BIOS startup process in [description] is the first BIOS startup process, and the optimized BIOS startup process is the second BIOS startup process. When optimizing the second BIOS startup process, Figure 9 the current BIOS startup process in [description] is the second BIOS startup process, and the optimized BIOS startup process is the third BIOS startup process. Similarly, during the third BIOS startup process, the third BIOS startup process is optimized according to the above method, so as to optimize the system startup process in real time and dynamically to improve the system startup efficiency and resource utilization rate as much as possible.

[0041] The key function of the intelligent scheduling engine is to dynamically analyze and optimize the startup process. It will perform time series analysis based on real-time monitoring data (such as CPU load, memory occupancy, etc.), predict the priority and dependency relationship of tasks, and adaptively adjust the tasks during the startup process. For example, if it detects a high CPU load, the AI engine can postpone the execution of low-priority tasks and give priority to key tasks. Its role is more of "late-stage" optimization, that is, during the startup process, continuously adjust and improve the startup strategy to ensure that tasks are executed in the best order and flexibly adapt to the load changes of the system.

[0042] For example, in a multi-core processor environment, the intelligent scheduling engine can load multiple hardware drivers in parallel, while on a single-core system, it will give priority to executing the most important tasks (such as storage device initialization). For example, when the system load is high, the scheduling engine will postpone some low-priority tasks (such as network driver initialization) and give priority to executing key tasks (such as disk reading, operating system loading, etc.).

[0043] The AI engine in this application is designed to be adaptable to multiple devices, so it is not necessarily one-to-one corresponding to a certain device. In practical applications, the AI engine can optimize according to the historical data of different hardware configurations through adaptive learning and optimization algorithms, so as to adapt to the startup requirements of different devices.

[0044] In a multi-device environment, the AI engine will adjust the startup strategy through learning and optimization according to the hardware configuration, resource utilization rate and task characteristics during startup of each device. Even if multiple devices use the same AI engine, the AI engine can dynamically adjust the task execution order and resource allocation according to the specific conditions of the device (such as CPU model, memory configuration, storage device, etc.).

[0045] Specifically, the AI engine will record the startup data under different hardware configurations, and then automatically optimize the startup path and task scheduling according to the historical data. For example, the same AI engine can be applied to different devices, but for each device, according to the device's own hardware configuration and historical startup data, the AI engine will select the most suitable startup strategy for it.

[0046] There are multiple ideas and methods for the intelligent scheduling engine to optimize the first BIOS startup process, which are described separately below.

[0047] The first method is as follows. Determine the first BIOS startup comprehensive index according to the current startup data. The first BIOS startup comprehensive index is a comprehensive evaluation index of the current startup process, which is related to the current startup data. For example, the BIOS startup comprehensive index can be calculated by the following formula: x =A*a + B*b + C*c + D*d, where, x is the BIOS startup comprehensive index, a is the CPU load, A is the CPU load ratio, b is the memory occupancy, B is the memory occupancy ratio, c is the storage bandwidth, C is the storage bandwidth ratio, d is the I / O operation speed, D is the I / O operation speed ratio. Or, the BIOS startup comprehensive index can be calculated by the following formula: .

[0048] If the first BIOS startup comprehensive index does not meet the preset conditions, then optimize the first BIOS startup process to obtain the optimized BIOS startup process. There are multiple ways to judge that the first BIOS startup comprehensive index does not meet the preset conditions. For example, the larger the first BIOS startup comprehensive index, the better. If the first BIOS startup comprehensive index is lower than the preset index threshold, then the first BIOS startup comprehensive index does not meet the preset conditions.

[0049] Predict the BIOS startup comprehensive index of the optimized BIOS startup process based on historical startup data; determine whether the BIOS startup comprehensive index of the optimized BIOS startup process meets the preset conditions, and if not, continue to optimize the first BIOS startup process until the BIOS startup comprehensive index of the optimized BIOS startup process meets the preset conditions.

[0050] The second method is to use the intelligent scheduling engine to predict and optimize the first BIOS startup process in advance. According to the current startup data and the historical startup data, predict the subsequent startup data in the first BIOS startup process. Determine the second BIOS startup comprehensive index according to the subsequent startup data. If the second BIOS startup comprehensive index does not meet the preset conditions, optimize the first BIOS startup process to obtain an optimized BIOS startup process, and predict the BIOS startup comprehensive index of the optimized BIOS startup process based on historical startup data. Determine whether the BIOS startup comprehensive index of the optimized BIOS startup process meets the preset conditions, and if not, continue to optimize the first BIOS startup process until the BIOS startup comprehensive index of the optimized BIOS startup process meets the preset conditions.

[0051] The above second method and the first method can be combined and used as the third method.

[0052] The fourth method is as follows. The intelligent scheduling engine adjusts the system resource allocation and / or startup path in the first BIOS startup process according to the current startup data and historical startup data to obtain multiple optimized BIOS startup processes; predict the required duration of each optimized BIOS startup process respectively; determine the optimized BIOS startup process with the shortest required duration as the second BIOS startup process.

[0053] The startup time is usually the most important indicator to evaluate the efficiency of the startup process. A shorter startup time means that the system can enter the working state faster, improving the user experience. Therefore, the intelligent scheduling engine evaluates which method is more efficient by comparing the time consumption of different startup processes.

[0054] The fifth method is a further improvement of the above fourth method. The intelligent scheduling engine adjusts the system resource allocation and / or startup path in the first BIOS startup process according to the current startup data and historical startup data to obtain multiple optimized BIOS startup processes. Predict the required duration, resource utilization rate, and the total number of task suspensions and failures of each optimized BIOS startup process respectively. Determine one of the multiple optimized BIOS startup processes as the second BIOS startup process according to the required duration, resource utilization rate, and the total number of task suspensions and failures.

[0055] The intelligent scheduling engine analyzes the usage of system resources under different startup process scenarios, such as CPU load, memory occupancy, storage bandwidth, etc. The optimized startup process should be able to reasonably utilize system resources while ensuring startup efficiency, avoiding resource waste or excessive competition.

[0056] In addition to startup time and resource utilization rate, the intelligent scheduling engine also considers the system stability during startup, including whether there are task suspensions or failures, hardware or driver loading errors, etc. These factors affect the overall experience of the system and are therefore key criteria for evaluating the quality of startup methods.

[0057] Different from evaluating and judging the quality of the startup process through the comprehensive indicators of the BIOS startup process provided by the above five methods, the sixth method is to separately evaluate multiple indicators in the startup process and optimize the first BIOS startup process based on their respective evaluation results.

[0058] The sixth method includes that the intelligent scheduling engine optimizes the first BIOS startup process according to the current startup data and historical startup data to obtain a second BIOS startup process, including dynamically adjusting the system resource allocation strategy and / or dynamically adjusting the startup path, including: If the system load is greater than a preset first load threshold, then for the first BIOS startup process, reduce the system resource allocation for low-priority tasks among the tasks executed in parallel therein; If the system load is less than a preset second load threshold, then for the first BIOS startup process, increase the system resource allocation for low-priority tasks among the tasks executed in parallel therein; Combined with historical startup data, use an AI algorithm to predict whether the system load in the BIOS startup process after adjusting the system resource allocation is not less than the second load threshold and not greater than the first load threshold. If so, use the BIOS startup process after adjusting the system resource allocation as the second BIOS startup process; otherwise, adjust the system resource allocation again until the system load in the BIOS startup process after adjusting the system resource allocation is not less than the second load threshold and not greater than the first load threshold.

[0059] The dynamic adjustment of the startup path is as Figure 8 shown, and also includes: If the system load is higher than a preset first load threshold, then for the first BIOS startup process, postpone the startup order of low-priority tasks among the tasks executed in parallel therein; If the system load is lower than a preset second load threshold, then for the first BIOS startup process, advance the startup order of low-priority tasks among the tasks executed in parallel therein; Use the AI algorithm in combination with historical startup data to predict whether the system load in the BIOS startup process after adjusting the startup path is not less than the second load threshold and not greater than the first load threshold. If so, use the BIOS startup process after adjusting the startup path as the second BIOS startup process; otherwise, adjust the startup path again until the system load in the BIOS startup process after adjusting the startup path is not less than the second load threshold and not greater than the first load threshold.

[0060] When the system load is high (e.g., the CPU load is too high), the scheduling engine will postpone the execution of low-priority tasks. This is to reduce resource contention and ensure that critical tasks can be executed smoothly without being blocked by low-priority tasks. For example, if the system is running under high load, high-priority tasks such as the loading of the operating system and the initialization of storage devices will be given priority, while low-priority tasks such as network adapter driver or peripheral initialization may be postponed until the system load decreases. Since the CPU processes tasks in parallel, the CPU may handle tasks such as the loading of the operating system and the initialization of storage devices simultaneously. When the load is relatively high, we need to postpone the processing of low-priority tasks until the current tasks are completed to avoid excessive CPU load and process congestion caused by simultaneous execution.

[0061] In the case of low load, with sufficient system resources, the scheduling engine will accelerate the execution of low-priority tasks to improve the overall startup efficiency. At this time, low-priority tasks no longer occupy excessive resources, so they can be executed in parallel or as soon as possible to make full use of system resources. For example, when the system load is low, low-priority tasks such as network adapter initialization and the loading of external device driver programs can be given priority and do not need to be postponed.

[0062] Different from the existing BIOS which is based on preset configurations and fixed startup sequences and cannot adapt to different hardware environments and load conditions, resulting in slower system startup speed and lower resource utilization in complex hardware environments. In the present invention, most of the tasks in the BIOS are pre-configured, but only a preliminary preset. For example, hardware initialization, memory allocation, I / O port allocation, driver loading, etc., these are all fixed tasks that constitute the basic processes that must be executed during the BIOS startup process. During the system startup process, the execution order and resource allocation of tasks will be dynamically adjusted to optimize the startup process.

[0063] For example, a more reasonable dynamic priority adjustment of tasks and system resource allocation is achieved through an intelligent scheduling engine (AI engine). According to the system load and hardware status, the intelligent scheduling engine will adjust the execution order, priority, and system resource configuration of tasks based on real-time resource monitoring data at each startup. This enables the adjustment of priorities not only limited to pre-configuration but also optimized according to the actual situation.

[0064] For example, when the hardware changes, if the hardware configuration changes (such as replacing the CPU, memory, hard disk, etc.), or the system configuration changes in some aspects (such as adding a new hardware device), then the execution order of tasks and resource allocation may change. The technical solution provided by this application can also quickly and efficiently provide a more efficient and reasonable startup plan for the system after the hardware changes, and automatically select the best startup method.

[0065] The BIOS based on the adaptive strategy and intelligent scheduling provided in this embodiment, at each startup, the BIOS will automatically select the best startup method according to the previous learning results. Through the above steps, the BIOS provided in this embodiment has the ability of self-learning and optimization, can automatically adapt to different hardware environments and load conditions, and flexibly handle the execution order of multiple tasks and resource allocation, thereby improving the system startup efficiency and the utilization rate of system resources.

[0066] In an embodiment of the present invention, the BIOS based on the adaptive strategy and intelligent scheduling further includes a hardware configuration pre-storage module, and the hardware configuration pre-storage module is a cache, which is configured to store the configuration information of the first hardware after the previous BIOS startup is completed. During the current BIOS startup process, the hardware detection module is configured to obtain the configuration information of other hardware except the first hardware and transmit it to the startup process manager, and the startup process manager is also configured to directly obtain the configuration information of the first hardware from the hardware configuration pre-storage module.

[0067] Wherein, the first hardware is part of the hardware, and the first hardware satisfies at least one of the following conditions: During the BIOS startup process, the startup priority of the first hardware is higher than that of other hardware; During the BIOS startup process, the system resources required by the hardware detection module to obtain the configuration information of the first hardware are greater than a preset resource threshold; During the BIOS startup process, the duration required by the hardware detection module to obtain the configuration information of the first hardware is greater than a preset duration threshold.

[0068] After the previous BIOS startup is completed, for example, during / after the computer is shut down, the low-power chip (such as the management chip) on the motherboard is used to pre-analyze the hardware configuration information, and the configuration information of some key drivers is pre-loaded into the cache. In this way, at startup, the BIOS can directly read the data in the cache, accelerating the hardware recognition and initialization speed, without the time required for the hardware detection module to read data from the storage device and then transmit it to the startup process manager, which can further improve the system startup speed.

[0069] Due to the advancement of this technical solution, it can have a wide range of applications in application fields such as the computer system architecture field, the operating system field, and the hardware acceleration field. First, in the computer system architecture field, this technical solution realizes the dynamic adaptation and optimization to different hardware environments through the adaptive strategy and the intelligent scheduling engine. Especially in the environment of multi-core processors and high-speed storage devices, it can significantly improve the startup efficiency. This technical solution can be widely applied to various computer system architectures, especially those systems that require fast startup and high resource utilization, such as servers, workstations, and high-end personal computers. Second, in the operating system field, this technical solution reduces the waiting time during startup by optimizing task scheduling, and improves the overall response ability and user experience of the system. This technical solution can be applied to various operating systems, such as Windows, Linux, Unix, etc., especially those operating systems that require efficient task scheduling and resource management.

[0070] Finally, in the hardware acceleration field, this technical solution realizes the rapid acquisition and real-time monitoring of the hardware configuration information through the hardware configuration pre-storage module, the hardware detection module, and the resource monitoring module, providing a basis for the dynamic allocation and optimization of system resources. Especially in the environment of high-speed storage devices and large-scale memory, it can significantly improve the data transmission speed and system performance. This technical solution can be applied to various hardware acceleration devices, such as GPUs, FPGAs, etc., especially those applications that require efficient data transmission and processing, such as image processing, video coding, artificial intelligence, etc. Generally speaking, with the development of computer hardware and the diversification of applications, the market's demand for efficient, flexible, and adaptive startup optimization technologies is increasing. This technical solution realizes the dynamic adaptation and optimization to different hardware environments and system loads by introducing an AI engine and deep learning algorithms, and has broad application prospects and market demand.
