Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of server temperature monitoring technology, specifically to a server 3D visualization temperature monitoring system based on XY coordinates. Background Technology

[0002] In server maintenance scenarios, the Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) is the core module for hardware status monitoring, responsible for collecting temperature data from core components such as the CPU, memory, hard drive, and PCIe card. For example, Chinese invention application CN114441058A discloses a server temperature monitoring system and method. The system includes a quartz crystal oscillator circuit, a frequency divider circuit, and a processor. The input of the quartz crystal oscillator circuit is connected to the component under test, and the output is connected to the input of the frequency divider circuit, used to convert the temperature signal of the component under test into an oscillation signal. Current mainstream server temperature monitoring solutions mainly use list / tabular data presentation: maintenance personnel can view the discrete temperature values ​​of each component through a web management interface or IPMI commands, or display the temperature change trend of a single component through a simple line graph. Some solutions use 2D topology diagrams to annotate component locations and temperature threshold alarms. However, this method of displaying data through line graphs or 2D topology diagrams has the following drawbacks:

[0003] 1. Temperature distribution perception is not intuitive: The discrete numerical list cannot reflect the spatial relationship of each component in the server chassis, making it difficult for maintenance personnel to quickly locate the physical location of local hotspots, resulting in low troubleshooting efficiency.

[0004] 2. Difficulty in global temperature control: It is impossible to intuitively present the temperature gradient and heat flow distribution of the entire server, making it difficult to judge the overall performance of the cooling system and to predict potential heat dissipation bottlenecks in advance;

[0005] 3. Delayed alarm response: Alarms can only be triggered by thresholds, lacking visualization and prediction of temperature distribution trends, making it impossible to intervene in the early stages of hotspot formation, which can easily lead to hardware overheating, frequency reduction, or even damage.

[0006] 4. High operational threshold: Operation and maintenance personnel need to memorize a large number of component numbers and their corresponding locations, which is not friendly to novice operation and maintenance personnel and increases the risk of misoperation and missed judgment.

[0007] To address these issues, we propose a server 3D visualization temperature monitoring system based on XY coordinates. Summary of the Invention

[0036] Example 2:

[0037] Please see Figure 5 This is the second embodiment of the present invention, which is based on the previous embodiment. This embodiment discloses the system implementation method, which consists of four core modules: a data acquisition layer, a coordinate mapping layer, a 3D rendering layer, and an interactive control layer. The specific technical solution is as follows:

[0038] Data Acquisition Layer: The server BMC collects temperature data of various hardware components in real time, including all temperature-sensitive components such as CPU, DIMM memory, GPU, PCIe card, hard drive, and power supply. Each temperature sensor is assigned a unique device ID and original temperature value, that is, each temperature sensor is assigned a temperature measurement unit 3 for temperature monitoring.

[0039] Coordinate mapping layer: Each temperature sensing component in the server chassis is pre-assigned a unique XY plane coordinate, which corresponds one-to-one with the physical location of the component in the motherboard / chassis. A mapping relationship table of "device ID - XY coordinate - temperature value" is established to convert discrete temperature data into structured data with spatial location information. The direction of the main strip 1 is the X-axis, and the direction of the sub-strip 2 is the Y-axis.

[0040] 3D rendering layer: Based on XY coordinates and temperature data, a 3D ocean map (height field + color gradient) is used for visualization.

[0041] X / Y axes: Corresponding to the physical plane coordinates of the server chassis, visually representing the spatial distribution of each component;

[0042] Z-axis (height + color): Maps temperature values ​​to 3D height and color gradient. The higher the temperature, the higher the height of the corresponding area and the more red / orange the color. The lower the temperature, the lower the height and the more green / blue the color.

[0043] Each temperature sensing component is represented as a marker point (such as a green dot) in the 3D map. The position of the marker point corresponds to its XY coordinates, and its height and color correspond to its current temperature value.

[0044] Interaction Control Layer: Provides human-computer interaction functions and supports the following features

[0045] The 3D view allows for rotation, zooming, and panning, making it convenient for maintenance personnel to view the overall temperature distribution of the machine from any angle.

[0046] Clicking on a marker will display detailed information about the corresponding component (device name, current temperature, threshold, historical curve).

[0047] Hotspot area highlighting alarm: When the temperature of a certain area exceeds a preset threshold, it will be automatically highlighted in a flashing / highlighting manner to help quickly locate the fault point;

[0048] The timeline playback allows you to view the historical temperature distribution trends, which helps in analyzing the root causes of heat dissipation problems.

[0049] Example 3:

[0050] Please see Figure 5 This is the second embodiment of the present invention, which is based on the above two embodiments. This embodiment uses a 2U dual-socket server as an example to explain the specific implementation method.

[0051] 1. Implementation method of coordinate mapping layer:

[0052] Taking a 2U dual-socket server as an example, the chassis plane is divided into a 20×12 XY coordinate grid, with each grid corresponding to a physical area within the chassis:

[0053] X-axis: From the front end of the chassis to the rear end, corresponding to the depth direction of the server, i.e., the installation position of main strip 1;

[0054] Y-axis: From the left side of the chassis to the right side, corresponding to the width of the server, i.e., the installation position of sub-strip 2;

[0055] Each temperature sensing component is assigned a unique coordinate and a corresponding temperature measuring unit 3 is set. For example, CPU0 corresponds to coordinate (5,3), CPU1 corresponds to coordinate (15,3), DIMM0 corresponds to coordinate (5,5), GPU2 corresponds to coordinate (5,9), etc. The coordinate accuracy can be accurate to the millimeter level and perfectly match the physical position.

[0056] 2. Implementation method of 3D rendering layer:

[0057] Using a triangular mesh interpolation algorithm, a continuous 3D height field is generated based on the XY coordinates and temperature values ​​of each temperature sensor.

[0058] Temperature threshold mapping: Maps the temperature range of 0-100℃ to a Z-axis height of 0-100, with a corresponding color gradient: green (0-30℃) → yellow (30-60℃) → orange (60-80℃) → red (80-100℃).

[0059] Hotspot representation: Areas with higher temperatures appear as taller "peaks" in the 3D map, with a redder color, visually indicating the location of the hotspot; low-temperature areas appear as gentle "plains / oceans," with a greenish color.

[0060] Marker: Each temperature sensing component is marked with a green dot on the 3D map. Clicking on it will bring up a details panel that displays the component name, current temperature, alarm threshold, and 24-hour temperature curve.

[0061] 3. Implementation method of interactive control layer:

[0062] View control: Supports mouse drag rotation, scroll wheel zoom, and keyboard pan, making it convenient for maintenance personnel to view temperature distribution from any angle;

[0063] Hotspot Alert: When the temperature of a component exceeds the threshold (e.g., CPU exceeds 85℃), the corresponding marker point flashes red, and the area is highlighted and enlarged in the 3D map, and an alarm prompt automatically pops up.

[0064] Time replay: Provides a timeline slider that can be dragged to view the temperature distribution changes over the past 24 hours, aiding in the analysis of the evolution of heat dissipation problems;

[0065] Data Export: Supports exporting screenshots of the current temperature distribution or temperature data in CSV format for fault analysis and report generation;

[0066] This embodiment has been tested in practice. Under full load operation, it can complete the acquisition of whole machine temperature data and 3D rendering within 1 second, and the hot spot location accuracy reaches 100%. Maintenance personnel can complete a complete temperature control status inspection within 30 seconds.

[0067] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
