Description

本発明は、計算処理装置の屋外設置に資する技術である。   The present invention is a technique that contributes to outdoor installation of a calculation processing apparatus.

ルータやサーバのような計算処理装置は、データセンタや通信機械室のような屋内の空調設備の整った環境に設置されることを前提に製造されている。そのため、そのまま屋外に置くことはできない。   Computer processing devices such as routers and servers are manufactured on the assumption that they are installed in an indoor air conditioning facility such as a data center or a communication machine room. Therefore, it cannot be left outdoors.

屋外に設置することを前提に製造されている無線機器は、計算処理を実施する電子部品の部分を完全密閉にし、外気に曝されないようにしている。また、冷却方法は、自然空冷でヒートシンクによって発熱部を冷却している（非特許文献１）。   A wireless device manufactured on the premise that it is installed outdoors completely seals a part of an electronic component that performs calculation processing so that it is not exposed to the outside air. Moreover, the cooling method has cooled the heat generating part with the heat sink by natural air cooling (nonpatent literature 1).

高橋 他、「小型、低消費電力の１２０ＧＨｚ帯１０Ｇｂｉｔ／ｓ無線リンク」、ＮＴＴジャーナル、2008.12 pp.17-20Takahashi et al., “Small, low power consumption 120 GHz band 10 Gbit / s wireless link”, NTT Journal, 2008.12 pp.17-20

計算処理装置を屋外に設置する場合には、電子部品が外気に曝されない耐環境性能のある密封型ケースに収容することが望ましい。ただ、計算処理装置は発熱するため冷却する必要があり、密封型ケースに収容した場合には発熱密度が限られてしまう。ヒートシンクによる方法では、冷却できる発熱密度に限界があるため、屋外に設置できる計算処理装置の発熱密度には限界がある。また、開口型にした場合には、電子部品の腐食の問題が発生してしまう。   When the calculation processing apparatus is installed outdoors, it is desirable to store the electronic component in a sealed case with environmental resistance that is not exposed to the outside air. However, since the calculation processing device generates heat, it needs to be cooled, and when it is housed in a sealed case, the heat generation density is limited. In the method using a heat sink, there is a limit to the heat generation density that can be cooled, and thus there is a limit to the heat generation density of a calculation processing apparatus that can be installed outdoors. In addition, when the opening type is used, a problem of corrosion of electronic parts occurs.

上記問題点を鑑み、本発明の課題は、計算処理装置を屋外に設置するための技術を提供することである。   In view of the above problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a technique for installing a calculation processing apparatus outdoors.

上記課題を解決するため、本発明の一態様は、複数の計算処理装置を収容する収容装置であって、各計算処理装置を収容する複数の装置収容部と、前記装置収容部を制御する共通部と、を有し、前記共通部は、前記複数の装置収容部から取得した温度、計算処理量又は故障検知結果に基づき、前記装置収容部の開口部の開口率又は前記複数の計算処理装置の分散処理を制御する収容装置に関する。   In order to solve the above-described problem, an aspect of the present invention is a storage device that stores a plurality of calculation processing devices, and a plurality of device storage portions that store the calculation processing devices, and a common device that controls the device storage portion. And the common unit is based on the temperature, the amount of calculation processing, or the failure detection result acquired from the plurality of device storage units, or the aperture ratio of the opening of the device storage unit or the plurality of calculation processing devices. The present invention relates to a storage device that controls the distributed processing.

本発明によると、計算処理装置を屋外に設置するための技術を提供することができる。   ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, the technique for installing a calculation processing apparatus outdoors can be provided.

以下、図面に基づいて本発明の実施の形態を説明する。   Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

後述される実施例では、複数の計算処理装置を収容する収容装置が開示される。以下の実施例では、外気を直接導入して冷却すると共に、外気によって腐食するリスクを考慮した収容装置とすることによって、発熱量の大きい計算処理装置を屋外に設置できる。すなわち、発熱量の多い計算処理装置を屋外に設置するためには、外気を使って冷却する方法があるが、外気を直接取り入れた場合には、計算処理を実行する電気部品が腐食して故障する危険が増す。そのため、本発明による収容装置では、腐食の被害を必要最小限にするために外気の量が制御される。また、腐食等によって故障した場合に備えて、予め腐食しない密閉状態に設置した別の計算処理装置を（予備装置として）有することによって、直ちにサービスが止まったり、駆けつけて保守する手間をなくすようにする。   In an embodiment described later, a storage device that stores a plurality of calculation processing devices is disclosed. In the following embodiments, a calculation processing device having a large calorific value can be installed outdoors by adopting a storage device that takes into account the risk of being corroded by the outside air while directly introducing and cooling the outside air. In other words, in order to install a calculation processing device with a large amount of heat generation outdoors, there is a method of cooling using outside air. However, when the outside air is directly taken in, the electric parts that perform the calculation process corrode and fail. The risk of doing it increases. Therefore, in the housing device according to the present invention, the amount of outside air is controlled in order to minimize the damage of corrosion. In addition, in case of failure due to corrosion, etc., by having another calculation processing device (as a spare device) installed in a sealed state that does not corrode in advance, the service can be stopped immediately or the trouble of rushing to maintain is eliminated. To do.

まず、図１〜３を参照して、本発明の一実施例による収容装置を説明する。図１は、本発明の一実施例による収容装置を示す概略図である。   First, with reference to FIGS. 1-3, the accommodation apparatus by one Example of this invention is demonstrated. FIG. 1 is a schematic view showing a receiving device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

図１に示されるように、収容装置１０は、サーバなどの複数の計算処理装置（図示せず）を収容し、典型的には、屋外に設置される。収容装置１０は、共通部１００及び装置収容部２００Ａ，２００Ｂ（以降、装置収容部２００として総称される）を有する。また、各装置収容部２００Ａ，２００Ｂはそれぞれ、計算処理装置を収容すると共に、計算処理装置からの排熱を冷却するための外気を導入するための開口部２５０Ａ，２５０Ｂ（以降、開口部２５０として総称される）を有する。   As shown in FIG. 1, the accommodation device 10 accommodates a plurality of calculation processing devices (not shown) such as a server, and is typically installed outdoors. The storage device 10 includes a common unit 100 and device storage units 200A and 200B (hereinafter collectively referred to as the device storage unit 200). In addition, each of the device storage portions 200A and 200B accommodates the calculation processing device, and openings 250A and 250B (hereinafter referred to as the opening portion 250) for introducing outside air for cooling the exhaust heat from the calculation processing device. Generically).

共通部１００は、装置収容部２００を制御する。具体的には、共通部１００は、装置収容部２００から取得した温度、計算処理量又は故障検知結果に基づき、装置収容部２００の開口部の開口率又は複数の計算処理装置２１０の分散処理を制御する。例えば、共通部１００は、以下で詳細に説明されるように、装置収容部２００の状態を把握し、必要に応じて開口部２５０の外気を取り入れるための開閉手段の開口率やファンの回転数を制御する。また、共通部１００は、故障のリスクを減らすため、外気の影響を受けない密閉型の構成を有してもよい。このとき、共通部１００は、電源系などの外気に極力さらしたくなく、発熱量が大きくないコンポーネントを収容してもよい。   The common unit 100 controls the device housing unit 200. Specifically, the common unit 100 performs the opening ratio of the opening of the device storage unit 200 or the distributed processing of the plurality of calculation processing devices 210 based on the temperature, the calculation processing amount, or the failure detection result acquired from the device storage unit 200. Control. For example, as will be described in detail below, the common unit 100 grasps the state of the device housing unit 200 and, as necessary, the opening ratio of the opening / closing means for taking in the outside air of the opening 250 and the rotational speed of the fan. To control. In addition, the common unit 100 may have a sealed configuration that is not affected by outside air in order to reduce the risk of failure. At this time, the common unit 100 may accommodate components that do not want to be exposed to the outside air as much as possible and that do not generate a large amount of heat.

装置収容部２００は、１つ以上の計算処理装置２１０を収容する。以下で詳細に説明されるように、装置収容部２００は、収容した計算処理装置２１０の状態を監視し、計算処理装置２１０の状態を共通部１００に報告し、共通部１００により指示に従って開口部２５０及び／又はＦＡＮ部２６０を制御する。   The device storage unit 200 stores one or more calculation processing devices 210. As will be described in detail below, the device storage unit 200 monitors the state of the stored calculation processing device 210, reports the state of the calculation processing device 210 to the common unit 100, and opens the opening according to the instruction from the common unit 100. 250 and / or FAN unit 260 is controlled.

図２は、本発明の一実施例による収容装置の構成を示すブロック図である。   FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the storage device according to the embodiment of the present invention.

図２に示されるように、共通部１００は、情報取得部１１０、統合マネージメント部１２０、閾値データベース（ＤＢ）１３０及び計算処理分散制御部１４０を有する。また、各装置収容部２００は、計算処理装置２１０、温度測定部２２０、処理量測定部２３０、故障検知部２４０、開口部２５０及びＦＡＮ部２６０を有し、開口部２５０及びＦＡＮ部２６０はそれぞれ開閉制御部２５１及びＦＡＮ制御部２６１を有する。   As shown in FIG. 2, the common unit 100 includes an information acquisition unit 110, an integrated management unit 120, a threshold database (DB) 130, and a calculation processing distribution control unit 140. Each device storage unit 200 includes a calculation processing device 210, a temperature measurement unit 220, a processing amount measurement unit 230, a failure detection unit 240, an opening 250 and a FAN unit 260. The opening 250 and the FAN unit 260 are respectively provided. An open / close control unit 251 and a FAN control unit 261 are included.

情報取得部１１０は、収容されている計算処理装置に関する情報を含む各種情報を各装置収容部２００から取得する。具体的には、情報取得部１１０は、計算処理装置の状態を取得し、例えば、温度測定部２２０により測定された温度、処理測定部２３０により測定された計算処理量及び／又は故障検知部２４０により検知された故障検知結果を取得する。   The information acquisition unit 110 acquires various types of information including information related to the stored calculation processing device from each device storage unit 200. Specifically, the information acquisition unit 110 acquires the state of the calculation processing device, for example, the temperature measured by the temperature measurement unit 220, the calculation processing amount measured by the process measurement unit 230, and / or the failure detection unit 240. The failure detection result detected by is acquired.

統合マネージメント部１２０は、取得した温度、計算処理量又は故障検知結果に基づき、装置収容部２００の開口部２５０の開口率を制御する。また、統合マネージメント部１２０は、装置収容部に外気を取り入れるためのファンの回転数を制御してもよい。発熱量が多い計算処理装置２１０を設置する場合、装置収容部２００内にファンを設置することによって、より効率的に外気を導入し、計算処理装置２１０を冷却することが可能となる。   The integrated management unit 120 controls the aperture ratio of the opening 250 of the apparatus housing unit 200 based on the acquired temperature, calculation processing amount, or failure detection result. Further, the integrated management unit 120 may control the number of rotations of the fan for taking outside air into the apparatus housing unit. In the case of installing the calculation processing device 210 with a large amount of heat generation, by installing a fan in the device accommodating portion 200, it is possible to introduce outside air more efficiently and cool the calculation processing device 210.

例えば、図１のように２つの装置収容部２００Ａ，２００Ｂがある場合、統合マネージメント部１２０は、最初に装置収容部２００Ａに収容されている計算処理装置２１０のみを動作させ、必要な計算処理をさせる。そのとき、開口部２５０Ａは閉口している状態であるとする。計算処理をすることによって装置収容部２００Ａの温度が上昇する。温度が上昇し続けると収容装置１０及び／又は計算処理装置２１０が壊れてしまうため、統合マネージメント部１２０は、外気を取り入れることによって装置収容部２１０Ａを冷却する。例えば、統合マネージメント部１２０は、ある閾値まで温度が上昇したことを検知すると外気を取り入れるため、開閉制御部２５１に開口すること、及びＦＡＮ制御部２６１にＦＡＮを回転させることを命令する。このとき、温度上昇は計算処理量から予測することも可能であるため、測定された計算処理量に応じて、開閉制御部２５１及び／又はＦＡＮ制御部２６１を制御してもよい。   For example, when there are two device storage units 200A and 200B as shown in FIG. 1, the integrated management unit 120 first operates only the calculation processing device 210 stored in the device storage unit 200A to perform necessary calculation processing. Let At that time, it is assumed that the opening 250A is in a closed state. By performing the calculation process, the temperature of the apparatus housing portion 200A rises. If the temperature continues to rise, the storage device 10 and / or the calculation processing device 210 breaks, and the integrated management unit 120 cools the device storage portion 210A by taking in outside air. For example, when the integrated management unit 120 detects that the temperature has risen to a certain threshold value, the integrated management unit 120 instructs the opening / closing control unit 251 to open and the FAN control unit 261 to rotate the FAN in order to take in outside air. At this time, since the temperature rise can be predicted from the calculation processing amount, the open / close control unit 251 and / or the FAN control unit 261 may be controlled according to the measured calculation processing amount.

具体的には、統合マネージメント部１２０は、図３に示されるような閾値ＤＢ１３０に格納されている閾値情報に基づき、開口部２５０の開口率及びＦＡＮ部２６０の回転率を制御してもよい。例えば、ある装置収容部２００から取得した計算処理装置の温度（基板温度）がＢ１度であって、外気温がＯ１度である場合、統合マネージメント部１２０は、閾値ＤＢ１３０の閾値情報に基づき、開口率をＡ（１，１）％に設定すると共に回転率をＲ（１，１）％に設定するよう当該装置収容部２００に指示する。これにより、外気による冷却が実施され、装置収容部２００の温度上昇を防ぐことができる。 Specifically, the integrated management unit 120 may control the aperture ratio of the aperture 250 and the rotation rate of the FAN unit 260 based on threshold information stored in the threshold DB 130 as illustrated in FIG. For example, when the temperature (substrate temperature) of the calculation processing device acquired from a certain device storage unit 200 is B 1 degree and the outside air temperature is O 1 degree, the integrated management unit 120 is based on the threshold information of the threshold DB 130. The apparatus accommodation unit 200 is instructed to set the aperture ratio to A (1,1)% and set the rotation rate to R (1,1)%. Thereby, cooling by external air is implemented and the temperature rise of the apparatus accommodating part 200 can be prevented.

計算処理分散制御部１４０は、取得した温度、計算処理量又は故障検知結果に基づき、複数の計算処理装置の分散処理を制御する。具体的には、計算処理分散制御部１４０は、取得した温度、計算処理量又は故障検知結果に基づき、動作させる計算処理装置２１０を選択することによって複数の計算処理装置２１０の分散処理を制御することができる。例えば、計算処理分散制御部１４０は、計算処理を複数の計算処理装置２１０に分散することによって、各装置収容部２００の発熱量を抑えてもよい。例えば、各装置収容部２００の温度上昇が密閉状態でも耐えられる場合には、計算処理分散制御部１４０は，装置収容部２００Ａ，２００Ｂの両方に収容されている計算処理装置２１０に計算処理を分散させ、各々の発熱量を抑えるようにしてもよい。このように、複数の装置収容部２００を設置し、各計算処理装置２１０の計算負荷を分散することによって、発熱量を分散することが可能となる。   The calculation processing distribution control unit 140 controls distributed processing of a plurality of calculation processing devices based on the acquired temperature, calculation processing amount, or failure detection result. Specifically, the calculation processing distribution control unit 140 controls the distributed processing of the plurality of calculation processing devices 210 by selecting the calculation processing device 210 to be operated based on the acquired temperature, calculation processing amount, or failure detection result. be able to. For example, the calculation processing distribution control unit 140 may suppress the heat generation amount of each device housing unit 200 by distributing the calculation processing to the plurality of calculation processing devices 210. For example, when the temperature rise of each device storage unit 200 can be tolerated even in a sealed state, the calculation processing distribution control unit 140 distributes the calculation processing to the calculation processing devices 210 stored in both the device storage units 200A and 200B. It is also possible to suppress each calorific value. In this way, by installing a plurality of device accommodating units 200 and distributing the calculation load of each calculation processing device 210, it is possible to distribute the heat generation amount.

また、外気に触れることにより、装置収容部２００Ａ側の収容装置２００は腐食による故障を起こす可能性がある。従って、ある計算処理装置２１０の故障が検知されると、計算処理分散制御部１４０は、故障が検知された計算処理装置２１０による計算処理を他の計算処理装置２１０に代行させてもよい。すなわち、故障検知部２４０で故障を検知した場合、統合マネージメント部１２０でその状況を把握し、計算処理分散制御部１４０は、装置収容部２００Ｂ側の計算処理装置２１０を用いて、その後の計算処理を実施してもよい。この場合、同時に、計算処理分散制御部１４０は、故障情報を保守者にアラームなどにより通知し、装置収容部２００Ａ側の計算処理装置２１０などを交換することも可能である。保守が困難な場所に収容装置１０が設置される場合、多くの装置収容部２００が収容装置１０に設置され、多数の計算処理装置２１０を収容させ、保守することなく、サービス断しない環境を提供できる。また、腐食の進行度はその環境によるところが大きく事前に予測が難しいが、１台目の計算処理装置２１０が壊れた期間から次の計算処理装置２１０が壊れる期間を予測することが可能であり、修理すべき保守のタイミングを事前に把握することができる。また、開口部２５０に風速センサを設置して装置収容部２００内の外気の風量を把握したり、腐食センサを設置して設置環境の腐食のしやすさを把握していれば、より精度の高い予測が可能となる。   In addition, when the outside air is touched, the housing device 200 on the side of the device housing portion 200A may be damaged due to corrosion. Therefore, when a failure of a certain calculation processing device 210 is detected, the calculation processing distribution control unit 140 may cause the other calculation processing device 210 to perform the calculation processing by the calculation processing device 210 in which the failure is detected. That is, when a failure is detected by the failure detection unit 240, the integrated management unit 120 grasps the situation, and the calculation processing distribution control unit 140 uses the calculation processing device 210 on the device storage unit 200B side to perform subsequent calculation processing. May be implemented. In this case, at the same time, the calculation processing distribution control unit 140 can notify the maintenance information to the maintenance person through an alarm or the like, and can replace the calculation processing device 210 on the device housing unit 200A side. When the storage device 10 is installed in a place where maintenance is difficult, a large number of device storage units 200 are installed in the storage device 10 to store a large number of calculation processing devices 210 and provide an environment in which service is not interrupted without maintenance. it can. In addition, the degree of progress of corrosion largely depends on the environment, and it is difficult to predict in advance. The maintenance timing to be repaired can be grasped in advance. In addition, if a wind speed sensor is installed in the opening 250 to grasp the air volume of the outside air in the apparatus housing part 200, or a corrosion sensor is installed to grasp the ease of corrosion in the installation environment, the accuracy can be improved. High prediction is possible.

また、統合マネージメント部１２０は、複数の装置収容部２００に対して異なる開口率及び／又は回転数を設定してもよい。すなわち、均一な負荷分散をして開口率を各装置収容部２００ですべて同じにするのではなく、負荷が小さく開口率の低いものと負荷が大きく開口率の高いものとに分けることによって、腐食による故障を同時に起こす確率を減らすようにしてもよい。開口率の低いものと高いものとに分けることによって同時に故障を起こす確率を減らすことが可能になり、直ちにサービスが止まることを防ぐことができる。   Further, the integrated management unit 120 may set different aperture ratios and / or rotational speeds for the plurality of device accommodating units 200. That is, instead of distributing the load uniformly and making the aperture ratios all the same in each device housing unit 200, the corrosion is not achieved by dividing the load into a small load with a low aperture ratio and a large load with a high aperture ratio. You may make it reduce the probability of simultaneously causing a failure. By dividing into a thing with a low opening ratio and a thing with a high opening ratio, it becomes possible to reduce the probability of causing a failure at the same time, and it is possible to prevent the service from being stopped immediately.

温度測定部２２０は、装置収容部２００の内部及び／又は外部の温度を測定し、測定結果を共通部１００に報告する。例えば、温度測定部２２０は、温度センサなどにより実現され、測定結果を定期的に報告してもよいし、あるいは、所定の温度以上の変化があった場合に測定結果を報告してもよい。   The temperature measurement unit 220 measures the temperature inside and / or outside of the device housing unit 200 and reports the measurement result to the common unit 100. For example, the temperature measurement unit 220 may be realized by a temperature sensor or the like, and may report the measurement results periodically, or may report the measurement results when there is a change over a predetermined temperature.

処理量測定部２３０は、計算処理装置２１０において実行されている計算処理量を測定し、測定結果を共通部１００に報告する。例えば、処理量測定部２３０は、計算処理装置２１０における計算処理量を監視し、測定結果を定期的に報告してもよいし、あるいは、所定の処理量以上の変化があった場合に測定結果を報告してもよい。   The processing amount measurement unit 230 measures the calculation processing amount executed in the calculation processing device 210 and reports the measurement result to the common unit 100. For example, the processing amount measuring unit 230 may monitor the calculation processing amount in the calculation processing device 210 and report the measurement result periodically, or the measurement result when the change exceeds a predetermined processing amount. May be reported.

故障検知部２４０は、計算処理装置２１０が故障したことを検知し、故障検知結果を共通部１００に報告する。   The failure detection unit 240 detects that the calculation processing device 210 has failed, and reports the failure detection result to the common unit 100.

開口部２５０は、装置収容部２００に外気を取り込むための１つ以上の開口を有し、開閉制御部２５１は、共通部１００による制御指示に従って開口の開口率を制御する。開口率は、例えば、閉鎖状態では０％とされ、全開状態では１００％とされてもよい。開閉制御部２５１は、共通部１００から開口率をα％にするよう指示されると、開口の開口率をα％に制御する。   The opening portion 250 has one or more openings for taking outside air into the apparatus housing portion 200, and the opening / closing control portion 251 controls the opening ratio of the opening according to a control instruction from the common portion 100. The aperture ratio may be, for example, 0% in the closed state and 100% in the fully opened state. When instructed by the common unit 100 to set the aperture ratio to α%, the opening / closing control unit 251 controls the aperture ratio of the aperture to α%.

ＦＡＮ部２６０は、開口部２５０を介し装置収容部２００に外気を強制的に取り込むためのファンを有し、ＦＡＮ制御部２６１は、共通部１００による制御指示に従ってファンの回転数を制御する。回転数は、例えば、オフ状態では０％とされ、フル回転状態では１００％とされてもよい。ＦＡＮ制御部２６１は、共通部１００から回転数をβ％にするよう指示されると、ファンの回転数をβ％に制御する。   The FAN unit 260 has a fan for forcibly taking outside air into the apparatus housing unit 200 through the opening 250, and the FAN control unit 261 controls the rotation speed of the fan in accordance with a control instruction from the common unit 100. For example, the number of rotations may be 0% in the off state and 100% in the full rotation state. When instructed by common unit 100 to set the rotational speed to β%, FAN control unit 261 controls the rotational speed of the fan to β%.

次に、図４を参照して、本発明の一実施例による収容装置１０による外気取り入れ手順を説明する。図４は、本発明の一実施例による外気取り入れ手順を示すフローチャートである。   Next, with reference to FIG. 4, a procedure for taking in outside air by the storage device 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing an outside air intake procedure according to an embodiment of the present invention.

図４に示されるように、ステップＳ１０１において、情報取得部１１０は、温度測定部２２０及び／又は処理量測定部２３０から装置収容部２００内外の温度及び／又は計算処理装置２１０の計算処理量を取得し、取得した温度及び／又は計算処理量を統合マネージメント部１２０に通知する。   As shown in FIG. 4, in step S <b> 101, the information acquisition unit 110 calculates the temperature inside and outside the device housing unit 200 and / or the calculation processing amount of the calculation processing device 210 from the temperature measurement unit 220 and / or the processing amount measurement unit 230. Acquire and notify the integrated management unit 120 of the acquired temperature and / or calculation processing amount.
