Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Blockchain servers face inefficiencies in power supply voltage management, leading to wasted power consumption when voltage is too high and compromised computing power and stability when voltage is too low, as existing methods maintain a fixed voltage without optimization.
Innovation Solution
A power supply voltage control method that determines a target voltage based on the ratio of operating cores to total cores in the server, using a voltage determination parameter to adjust the output voltage, ensuring optimal computing power and stability while reducing power consumption.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the output voltage of the power supply is maintained at a preset fixed voltage value, then the computing power and stability of the blockchain server are ensured, but power consumption is wasted when the voltage is excessively high
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by transitioning from a fixed voltage supply to a dynamic voltage adjustment mechanism. The control module continuously monitors the number of operating cores and adjusts the power supply voltage in real-time based on actual computational workload, allowing the system to adapt its power consumption to actual needs while maintaining stability when required
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements parameter changes by modifying the voltage parameter of the power supply based on system state. The voltage determination module calculates a target voltage value by adjusting the preset voltage according to the ratio of operating cores to total cores, thereby optimizing the voltage parameter to match actual computational demands and reduce energy waste
2Loss of energy
If the output voltage of the power supply is reduced to save power, then power consumption is reduced, but the computing power and stability of the blockchain server may be affected
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements feedback by creating a closed-loop control system. The control module continuously monitors the actual number of operating cores, compares it with the total core count, and uses this feedback information to adjust the voltage determination parameter accordingly. This ensures that voltage reduction does not compromise computing power below what is actually needed
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts voltage based on real-time operational state rather than using a static reduced voltage. The voltage determination module continuously recalculates the optimal voltage level as cores transition between operating and non-operating states, ensuring computing power is maintained at the minimum necessary level
