[0057] In some possible implementations, the PWM closed-loop dynamic speed control circuit 7 adopts an AXI4-Lite bus architecture.

[0058] This application embodiment employs a distributed temperature sensing architecture, deploying multiple miniature high-precision temperature sensors in key heat-generating areas of the server motherboard (such as near the CPU, GPU, and power module). The sensors utilize I0... 2 The sensor node communicates with the main control module via C or SPI interface to collect local temperature data in real time; the sensor node integrates low-power ADC and wireless transmission function, supports multi-point synchronous sampling, and ensures high spatiotemporal resolution of temperature data; the main control unit receives temperature data in real time through hardware interrupt mechanism, avoiding reliance on operating system scheduling and improving system response speed.

[0059] The main control module in this embodiment can also be built into an embedded AI inference acceleration module based on FPGA or ASIC. This module integrates a lightweight neural network inference engine to execute a pre-trained temperature prediction model. The model input includes current temperature data, historical load information, ambient temperature and airflow status, and the output is a predicted temperature curve and cooling strategy suggestions. The module supports online model updates and dynamic parameter adjustments to adapt to different server configurations and operating environments. The inference process is completed entirely at the hardware layer, without relying on host CPU resources, thus reducing system overhead.

[0060] The cooling execution unit in this embodiment consists of multiple sets of PWM speed-regulating fans and micro liquid cooling devices. Each cooling device is equipped with an independent PWM control interface and flow rate adjustment module. The fan speed and liquid cooling flow rate are dynamically adjusted according to the cooling strategy output by the AI ​​inference acceleration module to achieve refined and localized cooling control. At the same time, a feedback mechanism is integrated to monitor the actual operating status through Hall sensors or current detection modules to ensure accurate execution of control commands. The cooling strategy supports hierarchical control and redundancy switching to ensure that the system can still maintain basic cooling functions when some hardware fails.

[0061] The PWM dynamic closed-loop speed control circuit in this embodiment constructs a closed-loop control path through a dedicated hardware logic circuit. Temperature data acquisition, AI inference, and cooling adjustment command output are all automatically completed by the hardware without software intervention. The control logic unit integrates a timer and an interrupt controller to ensure that temperature sensing and cooling adjustment operations are completed within a fixed time window, improving the system's real-time performance. The closed-loop control path supports multi-level priority scheduling to ensure that the system can still respond quickly to temperature changes under high load or abnormal operating conditions.

[0062] This application embodiment can adopt a low-power heterogeneous computing architecture. The temperature sensing, AI inference, and cooling control modules all have independent power management units, supporting dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS) and deep sleep mode. Inter-module communication adopts high-speed low-power LVDS (Low-Voltage Differential Signaling) interface or TSV (Through-Silicon Via) interconnect technology to reduce signal delay and electromagnetic interference. It also provides standardized hardware interfaces to support seamless integration with existing server motherboards, BMC, or DCIM (Data Center Infrastructure management) systems, facilitating large-scale deployment and unified management.

[0063] The following is an exemplary description of an implementation scheme for a medium-sized artificial intelligence-based cloud computing service platform provided by an embodiment of this application. The core objective of this embodiment is to minimize energy consumption and cooling costs while ensuring stable server operation through hardware-level closed-loop control.

[0064] In this embodiment, eight high-precision digital temperature sensors (model TMP102) are arranged in key areas of the server motherboard (such as near the CPU, GPU, and power module). The sensors have a sampling frequency of 1Hz, a temperature resolution of 0.0625℃, and an error of ±0.5℃. The sensors are connected via I... 2 The C-bus connects to the main control module, which is implemented using an FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array) chip and is responsible for data acquisition and preprocessing. To improve system response speed, temperature data is not processed by the operating system but is directly sent to the AI ​​inference acceleration module via a hardware interrupt mechanism.

[0065] In this implementation, the cooling unit consists of four PWM speed-controlled fans and two sets of miniature liquid cooling devices. The fans are Delta BFB1206M models with a speed range of 0-6000 RPM. The liquid cooling devices adopt an Asetek water-cooled plate design, supporting 0-100% flow rate adjustment. A dedicated state machine can be implemented via FPGA to receive the cooling strategy output from the AI ​​inference acceleration module. After the cooling strategy is output, the FPGA controls the duty cycle of the PWM signal to achieve dynamic adjustment of the fans and liquid cooling devices. The actual fan speed is monitored by Hall sensors and fed back to the control logic to form a closed-loop regulation.

[0066] The PWM dynamic closed-loop speed control is implemented by a hardware state machine, which periodically (once per second) triggers the temperature acquisition, AI inference, and cooling adjustment process. The system also supports priority scheduling. When any sensor temperature exceeds a set threshold (e.g., 75°C), a high-priority interrupt is immediately triggered, forcibly increasing the fan speed and liquid cooling flow until the temperature returns to a safe range.

[0067] In addition, this embodiment also provides a hardware interface with the BMC (Baseboard Management Controller), which supports reporting temperature and cooling status information via the IPMI protocol, facilitating unified monitoring and management in the data center.

[0068] This embodiment employs a low-power design, with the total power consumption of the FPGA and sensor being less than 3W. The cooling adjustment process does not require the involvement of the host CPU, significantly reducing software overhead and response latency.

[0069] In actual operation, this embodiment successfully maintained the server temperature within the range of 70±2℃, and the cooling energy consumption was reduced by about 23% compared with the traditional fan control strategy. At the same time, it has good real-time performance and stability, and is suitable for large-scale data center deployment.

[0070] Note that the above are merely preferred embodiments and the technical principles employed in this application. Those skilled in the art will understand that this application is not limited to the specific embodiments described herein, and various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions can be made without departing from the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, although this application has been described in detail through the above embodiments, this application is not limited to the above embodiments, and may include many other equivalent embodiments without departing from the concept of this application, the scope of which is determined by the scope of the appended claims.
