Description

Dynamic network card drive management system, method, device and equipment of intelligent terminal

Technical Field

The invention relates to the field of network card drive management of intelligent terminal equipment, in particular to a dynamic network card drive management system, method, device and equipment of an intelligent terminal.

Background

With the development of multiple technologies, CPUs with different performances are packaged on mobile phone intelligent equipment to complete different tasks. A CPU with a higher level of architecture will, on the one hand, result in better performance and, on the other hand, also in higher power consumption. For example, at the same network rate of 1.6Gbps, even though 1 CortexA76 or 2 CortexA55 can meet the requirement of the network rate, if the core in a76 consumes 5 times more power than a55 when calculated with the main frequency of 0.65 Hz. The core processors of the CPUs with two performances are taken as an example, and the core processors of the CPUs with two architectures are not limited. The invention aims to solve the technical problem of reducing power consumption as much as possible on the premise of meeting the network running speed.

With the coming of the 5G era and the development of multi-CPU technology, the requirement for network speed is higher and higher, but the optimization of power consumption is more and more important. Especially for products in the form of mobile phones, assuming that a network rate of 1.6Gbps is required to run, if a CPU in the architecture of a76 is directly used to process a network packet, although the CPU occupancy is beneficial, a CPU in the architecture of a55 can also meet the requirement of the network rate, and the power consumption is lower, so that the user can feel better in use.

The prior art of the invention is as follows: the interrupt of IPA (IP packet hardware accelerator) is bound with the multi-core of the CPU one by one, and the corresponding interrupt is triggered when data is listed in a queue of the IPA, and the corresponding CPU is called to process the interrupt.

The disadvantages of the prior art include two:

1. when a core processor of a CPU is occupied by another thread, the CPU occupancy is already high, and a large amount of network data is coming, and the CPU still processes related interrupts, a phenomenon of failure in processing occurs, and the network rate is affected.

And 2, the IPA corresponds to the queue of the big core to receive data, the interrupt corresponding to the big core is triggered, the big core processes the interrupt at the moment, and the power consumption is directly increased greatly.

In some possible embodiments, based on the dynamic network card driver management system and the dynamic network card driver management device shown in fig. 1 or fig. 3, an embodiment of the present invention provides a flow diagram of a dynamic network card driver management method for an intelligent terminal, and as shown in fig. 2, an initialization stage S100 includes: the single queue mode of IPA is used and interrupts are bound to some core processor CPU0, specifically some a55.

A dynamic network card driving management method of an intelligent terminal is applied to intelligent terminal equipment, and the intelligent terminal equipment comprises: the system comprises a network adapter card and a CPU (central processing unit) comprising a plurality of core processors; the management method further includes the step S200 of: the network speed measurer is used for measuring the time measurement network speed of the network adapter card and providing a first judgment basis for the IPA queue manager; s300, a mode judger is used for judging the mode of the network adapter card and providing a second judgment basis for the IPA queue manager; and S400: the CPU occupancy rate measurer is used for measuring the time measurement occupancy rate of the CPU and providing a third judgment basis for the IPA queue manager; s500, a scene judger is used for judging the current scene state in the 4 states; the IPA queue manager is used for dynamically switching a single/multiple queue mode of an IPA queue according to the current scene state and the first, second and third judgment bases, and binding the IPA queue with the matched core processor.

It should be noted that the method steps of steps S200\ S300 and S400 do not strictly limit the implementation precedence relationship, for example, the third determination basis of the occupancy data may be obtained first, and then the first determination basis of the network speed data may be obtained. The current scene states and the first, second and third judgment bases do not emphasize the precedence relationship, and can be obtained or measured at the same time or sequentially.

In some embodiments, the dynamic network card driver management method includes: the current scenario state includes an IPA single queue and bound on a certain low performance core processor, an IPA single queue and bound on a certain high performance core processor, an IPA multi queue and bound with a plurality of low performance core processors in turn or an IPA multi queue and bound with a plurality of low performance core processors and a plurality of high performance core processors. The scene judger is used for determining the current scene state from the 4 states.

In one possible implementation, the dynamic network card driver management method includes: the network card mode judger provides the second judgment basis that the IPA is in the bypass mode or normal mode.

In a possible implementation, the third determination provided by the CPU occupancy measurer is a comparison result between the CPU occupancy and a set second threshold, specifically, 70%.

In addition, in a possible implementation manner, as shown in fig. 4, which is a schematic flow diagram of a dynamic network card driver flexibly bound to a core processor according to an embodiment of the present invention, the method includes a management method of a dynamic network card driver of an intelligent terminal, in an initialization stage, using a single queue mode of IPA, and binding an interrupt to a core processor CPU0, specifically a core processor a55.CPU 0-CPU 1 are serial numbers of CPUs with different performances, and core 0-core 6 are serial numbers of a core processor. IPA (IP accelerator) is the hardware accelerator for IP packets. In another embodiment provided by the present invention, a CPU includes 4A 55 core processors and 3A 76 core processors.

After a data transmission, it is traversed every second. At the present stage, there are 4 states: IPA single queue and bound on a certain a55, IPA single queue and bound on a certain a76, IPA multi queue and bound with 4 a55 in turn, IPA multi queue and bound with both a55 and a 76. The following 4 states are mainly available: IPA is single queue and binds on a certain a55, 2 IPA is single queue and binds on a76, IPA multi queue and binds with 4 a55 in turn and IPA multi queue and binds with both a55 and a 76.

Scenario state 1. Traversal program finds that at this time the IPA is a single queue and bound to a certain A55

(1) When the network speed is less than 1Gbps, a core processor with low occupancy rate is selected from 4A 55 to be bound to the interrupt.

(2) When the network rate is less than 1Gbps but the occupancy rate of each core is high or the network rate is greater than 1Gbps, if the mode is bypass mode, the mode is switched to the IPA multi-queue and is bound with the 4A 55 in sequence, and if the mode is normal mode, the mode is switched to the IPA single queue and is bound on the A76.

Scenario state 2. The traversal program finds that at this point the IPA is a single queue and bound to A76

(1) When the network rate is less than 1Gbps, a CPU with low occupancy rate is selected from 4A 55 to be bound to the interrupt.

(2) And when the network rate is higher than 1Gbps, if the network rate is in the bypass mode, switching to the IPA multi-queue and binding with 4A 55 in sequence, if the network rate is in the normal mode, traversing the 4A 55, and selecting one A55 with the lowest occupancy rate to bind with the interrupt.

Scenario state 3. Traversal program finds the IPA multiple queue at this time and binds to 4 a55 in turn

(1) When the network rate is less than 1Gbps, cutting the network into a single queue, and selecting one CPU with low occupancy rate from 4A 55 to bind to an interrupt.

(2) When the network rate is greater than 1Gbps, if the network rate is in the normal mode, switching to a single queue, traversing the occupancy rate of A76, and selecting a CPU with the lowest occupancy rate and interrupting the binding; and if the bypass mode is adopted, binding to A55 and A76 according to the occupancy rate.

Scenario state 4. The traversal program finds the IPA Multi-queue at this time and binds to both A55 and A76

(1) When the network speed is less than 1Gbps, the network is cut into a single queue, and one CPU with low occupancy rate is selected from 4A 55 to be bound to the interrupt.

(2) When the network rate is greater than 1Gbps, if the network rate is in a bypass mode, the occupancy rate of A76 is less than 70 percent, and the occupancy rates of 4A 55 are all less than 70 percent, maintaining an IPA multi-queue and binding the 4A 55 and 4 interrupts in sequence; if normal mode, switch to IPA Single queue and bind on A76.

Therefore, the overall idea of flexible multi-queue is to flexibly process the binding of the interrupt and different CPUs according to the network rate and the occupancy rate of the CPUs. For the user environment, if uploading and downloading at a high network rate occur, a CPU with a higher main frequency may be switched; if only ordinary WeChat chat or the like, the CPU with low main frequency is switched back.

It should be noted that the Bypass mode can be understood as a direct mode, network data is directly sent to the core processor without being routed through hardware, and the normal mode is a normal mode and requires some routing by IPA hardware. The Bypass mode mainly aims at the mobile phone internet surfing, the normal mode aims at the USB sharing scene, and the USB sharing scene is adopted. The data is also transferred from the network adapter card through the network card drive and then transferred to the PC or the intelligent hardware through the USB.

In a further embodiment, as shown in fig. 3, which is a schematic structural diagram of a management device for a dynamic network card driver according to an embodiment of the present invention, a management device 100 for a dynamic network card driver includes:

the network speed measurer 150 is used for measuring the time measurement network speed of the network adapter card;

a CPU occupancy measurer 140, comprising a plurality of core processor CPU occupancy measurers, for measuring the time-measuring occupancy of all the core processors;

a mode determiner 130 for determining whether the IPA is in a bypass mode or normal mode;

a scenario determiner 120 for determining the scenario state of any one of the core processors and the bound IPA queues;

the IPA queue manager 110 is configured to dynamically match the network card driving IPA queues to bind and/or unbind the network card driving IPA queues to the core processors with different capabilities according to the states of the core processors, the states of the network adapter cards, and the states of the IPA queues.

In one possible implementation, the scene judger 130 needs to judge: whether the IPA is bound on the low-performance core processor or the high-performance core processor at the moment; when IPA is in the multi-queue, the scene judger needs to judge: the IPA at this time is bound to multiple low-performance core processors or both low-performance and high-performance core processors.

The system also comprises a network speed measurer, wherein the network speed measurer is used for measuring the time measurement network speed of the network adapter card and providing a first judgment basis for the IPA queue manager.

In a possible implementation manner, the system further comprises a CPU occupancy measurer, wherein the CPU occupancy measurer is used for ergodically measuring the hour time occupancy of all the core processors, and providing a third judgment basis for the IPA queue manager.

In a possible embodiment, the system further comprises an IPA (network card) mode determiner, configured to determine whether the IPA is in the bypass mode or normal mode at the time, and provide a second determination criterion for the IPA queue manager.

In a possible embodiment, the IPA queue manager in the system is further configured to dynamically switch the IPA queue and the binding relationship corresponding to the CPU according to the determination results of the network speed measurer and the mode determiner.
