Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
The embodiment of the invention discloses a GPU workstation suitable for BIM industry, which comprises a display card 11, a GPU12, a mode determining module 13 and a mode judging module 14, wherein the display card 11 is connected with the GPU 12; the display card 11 includes a mode refresh module 111; the GPU12 has an operation mode including a graphics mode and a rendering calculation mode; wherein,
a mode determination module 13, configured to determine an operating mode of the GPU12 that needs to be used by the current user;
a mode determination module 14, configured to determine whether the working mode determined by the mode determination module 13 is consistent with the working mode of the current GPU 12;
the mode refreshing module 111 is connected to the mode determining module 14, and configured to automatically switch and update the working mode of the GPU12 when the working mode determined by the mode determining module 13 is inconsistent with the working mode of the current GPU12, so that the updated working mode of the GPU12 is consistent with the working mode determined by the mode determining module 13.
It is understood that the mode determination module 13 may determine the operation mode by obtaining the operation mode required by the user, and of course, the mode determination module 13 may also perform the determination of the operation mode of the GPU12 required by the user by monitoring the real-time operation behavior of the user on the GPU workstation to estimate the mode required by the user in the next step, for example, when it is detected that the user has used the graphics mode of the GPU12 on the GPU workstation, it may be estimated that the user is about to enter the rendering calculation mode of the GPU 12.
In addition, the mode determination module may determine whether the two operation modes are consistent by determining whether the mode identification numbers are consistent, which means that each operation mode has a unique mode identification number corresponding to the operation mode, for example, the mode identification number of the graphics mode may be set to 001, the mode identification number of the rendering calculation mode may be set to 002, and by determining whether the mode identification numbers are consistent, it may be determined whether the operation mode determined by the mode determination module 13 is consistent with the operation mode in which the GPU12 is currently located.
It should be noted that the GPU12 in this embodiment has two different operation modes, one is a graphics mode with low system resource requirement, and the other is a rendering calculation mode with high system resource requirement, and the mode refresh module 111 located in the graphics card 11 in this embodiment can enter the graphics mode by limiting the performance of the GPU12, and enter the rendering calculation mode by releasing the performance of the GPU 12.
Specifically, the display card 11 may adopt an NVIDIA Tesla M60 display card, and the mode refresh module 111 is a Firmware refresh tool located in the NVIDIA Tesla M60 display card.
In the embodiment of the present invention, when the working mode of the GPU required by the current user is not consistent with the working mode of the current GPU, the mode refresh module in the graphics card may be utilized to automatically switch the working mode of the GPU to the working mode required by the current user, that is, if the working mode of the current GPU is the graphics mode and the working mode required by the current user is the rendering calculation mode, the mode refresh module is utilized to switch the working mode of the current GPU from the graphics mode to the rendering calculation mode, and similarly, if the working mode of the current GPU is the rendering calculation mode and the working mode required by the current user is the graphics mode, the mode refresh module is utilized to switch the working mode of the current GPU from the rendering calculation mode to the graphics mode, it can be seen that in the embodiment of the present invention, when transitioning from the graphics preprocessing stage to the rendering calculation stage, only the working mode of the GPU needs to be switched from the graphics mode to the rendering calculation mode, in the process, only one set of hardware workstation is used, and the switching of the working modes is realized without switching the hardware workstation, so that the aims of reducing the hardware cost and improving the flexibility of modeling work in the BIM design work are fulfilled.
The embodiment of the invention discloses a specific GPU workstation applicable to BIM industry, and compared with the previous embodiment, the embodiment further describes and optimizes the technical scheme. Specifically, the method comprises the following steps:

Specifically, the drive update module may include a drive unloading unit and a drive installing unit; wherein,
the drive unloading unit is used for unloading the drive on the current GPU by calling the unloading script after the mode refreshing module performs automatic switching updating operation;
and the drive installation unit is used for installing the drive corresponding to the working mode updated by the GPU after the drive unloading unit carries out unloading operation.
For example, when the mode refresh module switches the operating mode of the GPU from the graphics mode to the rendering calculation mode, the driver corresponding to the graphics mode originally on the GPU is unloaded by the driver unloading unit, and then the driver corresponding to the rendering calculation mode is installed on the GPU by the driver installing unit.
Further, the environment configuration module may specifically include a first environment configuration unit and a second environment configuration unit; wherein,
the first environment configuration unit is used for configuring the environment variables of the operation environment of the GPU into variables corresponding to the graphic mode by calling the automatic configuration script when the drive updating module updates the drive of the GPU into the drive corresponding to the graphic mode;
and a second environment configuration unit, configured to, when the driver update module updates the driver of the GPU to the driver corresponding to the rendering calculation mode, configure the operating environment of the GPU to a parallel environment and a CUDA environment (CUDA) corresponding to the rendering calculation mode by calling the auto-configuration script.
In addition, the mode judging module may specifically include a mode acquiring unit, a mode identifying unit and a mode judging unit; wherein,
the mode acquisition unit is used for acquiring the working mode determined by the mode determination module;
the pattern recognition unit is used for recognizing the working pattern of the current GPU;
and the mode judging unit is used for judging whether the working mode acquired by the mode acquiring unit is consistent with the working mode identified by the mode identifying unit. Specifically, the process of determining whether the working modes are consistent can be completed by determining whether the mode identification numbers are consistent.
Specifically, the mode refresh module may include a first mode refresh unit and a second mode refresh unit, wherein,
the first mode refreshing unit is used for automatically switching the working mode of the GPU from the rendering calculation mode to the graphics mode when the working mode determined by the mode determining module is the graphics mode and the working mode of the current GPU is the rendering calculation mode;
and the second mode refreshing unit is used for automatically switching the working mode of the GPU from the graphics mode to the rendering calculation mode when the working mode determined by the mode determining module is the rendering calculation mode and the working mode of the current GPU is the graphics mode.

Also, the terms "comprises," "comprising," or any other variation thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements does not include only those elements but may include other elements not expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.
