Abstract

The invention provides a server system capable of monitoring system energy consumption. Based on a system energy consumption management bus, by rectifying connection configuration among management resources, communication resources, application resources and coordination resources of a server, the system can intuitively and accurately display the whole energy consumption condition. The structure of the system comprises a power supply module, a power consumption management bus, a system management module and management software. The server system has the advantages that based on modularized flexible design, the system defines information formats acquired by the power supply module, specifications of the power consumption management bus, standard data conversion of the system management module, and the like; the system is established on open industrial standards and can be applied to various computer systems; therefore, the system has quite wide development prospect.

Description

But a kind of server system of system energy consumption monitoring function

Technical field

The present invention relates to computer communication field, but be specifically related to a kind of server system of monitoring system power consumption.

Background technology

Along with the universal expansion of development of computer and computer utility, the power consumption of computer system also becomes very important social concern gradually.Data show that the carbon dioxide that global Information technology industry is discharged accounts for 2% of global CO2 emissions.And China services device recoverable amount in 2007 has surpassed 1,820,000, and according to 400 watts of calculating of every station server average power consumption, a year power consumption total amount is about 6,400,000,000 kilowatt hours, is equivalent to 1/6 of China's air-conditioning total energy consumption.Add other equipment such as PC, the network equipment, estimate that total power consumption of China's IT product in 2007 is estimated as 300-500 hundred million degree.This almost is equivalent to the generating total amount in 1 year in power station, Three Gorges (2006 is 492.50 hundred million degree).

Therefore computer system being carried out real-time power consumption monitoring, become an urgent demand of computer equipment, also is the prerequisite of information equipment being carried out energy-saving design, further control system power consumption.

Usually the monitoring method of traditional server system power consumption is to be independent of beyond the computer system, adopt the monitoring of the complete machine cabinet or the power consumption in complete machine room, this mode is difficult to and other server system management data is integrated, and monitoring numerical value can not be specific to certain station server.

Summary of the invention

Structure of the present invention is different from the monitoring framework of traditional server energy consumption, structure of the present invention is it is characterized in that based on the system energy consumption management bus, by the configuration that is connected between integrated service management resource, the communication resource and application resource and coordination resource, make this architecture can intuitive and accurately demonstrate the whole status of energy consumption of server system, this system architecture comprises: supply module (1), power managed bus (2), system management module (3), management software (4), wherein:

Supply module (1) is the basis of architecture, is responsible for system power dissipation information gathering, conversion;

Power managed bus (2) mainly is responsible for system power dissipation information is delivered to system management module;

System management module (3) is responsible for the management data packet format of standard that system power dissipation information is converted into;

Power managed information in the effect extraction system administration module of management software (4) is output as the demonstration of user interface intuitively.

The invention has the beneficial effects as follows: based on the modularization flexible design, the information format that the definition supply module is collected, the standard of power managed bus, system management module to normal data conversion etc., it is based upon on the open industrial standard, can be applicable on the multiple computer system, thereby have boundless development prospect.

But accompanying drawing 2 is the server architecture synoptic diagram of system energy consumption monitoring function.

Embodiment

With reference to the accompanying drawings, content of the present invention is described by the process that realizes this architecture with an instantiation.

Based on the system energy consumption management bus, by the connection configuration between integrated service management resource, the communication resource, application resource and coordination resource, make system can intuitive and accurately demonstrate whole status of energy consumption, this system architecture comprises: supply module (1), power managed bus (2), system management module (3), management software (4), wherein:

(1) the real time power consumption information that provides of supply module, be provided to system management module by the power managed bus, administration module is the systems management data form with system management messages unified integrations such as system power dissipation, core voltage, system temperature, rotation speeds of the fan, and management data is offered management software by the System Management Bus interface calls, shows;

(2) the power managed bus mainly is responsible for system power dissipation information is delivered to system management module;

(3) system management module is responsible for the management data packet format of standard that system power dissipation information is converted into;

(4) the power managed information in the effect extraction system administration module of management software is output as the demonstration of user interface intuitively.

2, system according to claim 1 is characterized in that, system's supply module is converted into the digital format of power managed bus request with the information real-time collecting of system power dissipation.

Embodiment

As described in the summary of the invention, architecture of the present invention mainly comprises: supply module (1), power managed bus (2), system management module (3), management software (4).

Collection, the conversion unit of the supply module built-in system energy consumption of server are converted into power management specification data form with real-time energy consumption by special circuit.

System energy consumption numerical value is connected to system management module by the power management bus, with system energy consumption information gathering in system management module and other of system management information integrated be unified systems management data.

The system management software obtains management information from the standard interface of administration module, by administration interface intuitively, the user can be clear and definite, recognize the state of system's real time energy consumption dynamically.
