Accordingly, those of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that various changes and modifications of the embodiments described herein can be made without departing from the scope and spirit of the disclosure. Also, descriptions of well-known functions and constructions are omitted in the following description for clarity and conciseness.
The intelligent network card has become a vital basic device in the field of cloud computing. The intelligent network card can complete the conversion work of network virtualization, so that users of bare metal servers or virtual machines can use the intelligent network card as common network cards. The intelligent network card applied to the cloud computing scene is usually internally provided with a CPU and at least one other chip, and the CPU is connected with each chip by adopting a high-speed serial bus.
In the related art, an intelligent network card having one CPU and two other chips is generally used to process a network data stream in the following manner.
In the process of sending network messages by the intelligent network card, the method for processing the network messages by the intelligent network card comprises the following steps: an application program on a server CPU sends a network message sending request to a first chip, wherein the network message is stored in a server memory; after receiving a network message sending request, the first chip reads the network message from the server Memory by using Direct Memory Access (DMA), and writes the network message into a first chip receiving queue of the intelligent network card storage module by using the DMA; the virtual switch software on the intelligent network card CPU drives the first chip, so that the first chip reads the network message in the first chip receiving queue of the intelligent network card storage module and executes message processing; the virtual switch software on the intelligent network card CPU drives the second chip to make the second chip submit the modified network message sending request and write the network message into the second chip sending queue of the intelligent network card storage module; and after receiving the modified network message sending request, the second chip reads the modified network message from a second chip sending queue of the intelligent network card storage module by using DMA (direct memory access) and sends the modified network message to a network terminal.
In the process of receiving the network message by the intelligent network card, the method for processing the network message by the intelligent network card comprises the following steps: the second chip receives the network message from the network end and writes the network message into a second chip receiving queue of the intelligent network card storage module by using DMA (direct memory access); the virtual switch software on the intelligent network card CPU drives the second chip so that the second chip reads the network message from the second chip receiving queue of the intelligent network card storage module and executes message processing; the virtual switch software on the intelligent network card CPU drives the first chip to make the first chip submit the modified network message sending request and write the network message into the first chip sending queue of the intelligent network card storage module; after receiving the modified network message sending request, the first chip reads the modified network message from the first chip sending queue of the intelligent network card storage module by using DMA (direct memory access), and writes the modified network message into a server memory by using DMA; and driving the first chip by an application program on the CPU of the server so that the first chip reads the modified network message in the memory of the server.
Therefore, in the related art, the intelligent network card needs the CPU of the intelligent network card to participate in the message processing in the process of receiving or sending the network message, so that the performance requirement on the CPU is improved, and the limited performance of the CPU becomes the performance bottleneck of the intelligent network card.
Based on the above problems in the related art, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide an intelligent network card.
As shown in fig. 1, the intelligent network card according to the embodiment of the disclosure includes a first chip and a second chip, where the first chip communicates with a physical machine end, and the second chip communicates with a network end, where the first chip and the second chip communicate with each other through a high-speed serial bus switch.
Illustratively, the first chip and the second chip may be FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) chips. It is understood that an FPGA chip is a product of further development on the basis of Programmable devices such as PAL (Programmable Array Logic), GAL (general Array Logic), and the like. The FPGA chip can be used as a semi-custom Circuit in the field of ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit), which can not only solve the disadvantages of custom Circuit, but also overcome the disadvantages of limited gate circuits of the original programmable device.
Further, the basic structure of the first chip and the second chip may include a programmable input/output unit, a configurable logic block, a digital clock management module, an embedded block RAM (Random Access Memory), a wiring resource, an embedded dedicated hard core, a bottom layer embedded functional unit, and the like.
Illustratively, the physical machine end may be a server, for example, other servers such as a bare metal server, a computing server, and the like, and the first chip and the physical machine end may communicate with each other through a high-speed serial bus. In addition, the network side may be an ethernet network.
In one specific example, as shown in fig. 1, the physical machine end may be a server, and the server includes a server memory and a server CPU. In the process that the server receives the network message from the intelligent network card, the server CPU calls a first chip of the intelligent network card so that the first chip directly writes the network message into a server memory. In the process that the server sends the network message to the intelligent network card, the server CPU sends a network message sending request to the first chip so as to drive the first chip to read the network message from the server memory.
Illustratively, the high-speed serial bus switch may be a high-speed serial transceiver integrated with the first chip or the second chip. For example, the high-speed serial Transceiver may be a Gigabit Transceiver (GTP) with Low Power, and the Gigabit Transceiver is a configurable hardmac resource integrated in the first chip or the second chip, which may implement serial conversion and parallel conversion of data, and may be used for the first chip and the second chip to implement peer-to-peer communication interaction.
In one example, in the process of sending the network message by the intelligent network card, after receiving a network message sending request from the physical terminal, the first chip reads the network message from the server memory of the physical terminal and writes the network message into the storage module of the intelligent network card, and then directly sends a first message transmission notification to the second chip through the high-speed serial bus exchanger. And responding to the first message transmission notice, the second chip reads the network message from the storage module, executes message processing on the network message to generate a first target network message, and finally sends the first target network message to the network terminal.
In another example, in the process of receiving the network message by the intelligent network card, after receiving the network message from the network side, the second chip performs message processing on the network message, writes the generated second target network message into the storage module of the intelligent network card, and then directly sends a second message transmission notification to the first chip through the high-speed serial bus switch. And responding to the second message transmission notice, the first chip reads the second target network message from the storage module and sends the second target network message to the physical machine end.
According to the intelligent network card of the embodiment of the disclosure, the high-speed serial bus exchanger is arranged between the first chip and the second chip, so that the first chip and the second chip can directly communicate, for example, in the process of sending a network message by the intelligent network card, the first chip can directly send a first message transmission notice to the second chip through the high-speed serial bus exchanger, so that the second chip can directly read and send the network message to a network end; for another example, in the process of receiving the network message by the intelligent network card, the second chip may directly send the second message transmission notification to the first chip through the high-speed serial bus switch, so that the first chip reads and sends the network message to the physical machine side. Therefore, the process of processing the network data stream by the intelligent network card can be simplified, and a CPU of the intelligent network card is not required to participate in the processing of the network data stream. Therefore, according to the intelligent network card disclosed by the embodiment of the disclosure, the processing efficiency of the intelligent network card on the network data stream can be improved, and the performance requirement on the CPU of the intelligent network card can be reduced.
In one embodiment, the first chip or the second chip has a message processing module, and the message processing module is configured to perform message processing on the network message.
Illustratively, the message processing module is configured to perform encapsulation, routing, header modification, and the like on the network message to generate a first target network message for transmission to the network end, or to generate a second target network message for transmission to the physical end.
In one specific example, the message processing module is integrated with the first chip.
In the process of sending the network message by the intelligent network card, after the first chip reads the network message from the physical machine end, the message processing module is used for performing message processing on the network message to generate a first target network message, and the first target network message is written into the storage module. The first chip sends a first message transmission notification to the second chip using the high speed serial bus switch. And responding to the first message transmission notice, the second chip reads the first target network message from the storage module and sends the first target network message to the network terminal.
In the process of receiving the network message by the intelligent network card, after receiving the network message from the network end, the second chip writes the network message into the storage module, and sends a second message transmission notice to the first chip by using the high-speed serial bus exchanger. And responding to the second message transmission notice, the first chip reads the network message from the storage module, performs message processing on the network message by using the message processing module to generate a second target network message, and sends the second target network message to the physical machine end.
In another specific example, the message processing module is integrated with the second chip.
In the process of sending the network message by the intelligent network card, after the first chip reads the network message from the physical machine end, the network message is written into the storage module, and a first message transmission notice is sent to the second chip by utilizing the high-speed serial bus exchanger. And responding to the first message transmission notice, the second chip reads the network message from the storage module, performs message processing on the network message by using the message processing module to generate a first target network message, and sends the first target network message to the network terminal.
In the process that the intelligent network card receives the network message, after the second chip receives the network message from the network terminal, the message processing module is used for performing message processing on the network message to generate a second target network message, and the second target network message is written into the storage module. The second chip sends a second message transmission notification to the first chip using the high speed serial bus switch. And responding to the second message transmission notice, the first chip reads the second target network message from the storage module and sends the second target network message to the physical machine end.
By arranging the message processing module on the first chip or the second chip, the intelligent network card can use the message processing module to perform operations such as encapsulation, routing, header modification and the like on network messages in the process of transmitting or receiving the messages, and a CPU of the intelligent network card is not required to participate in message processing, so that the performance requirement of the intelligent network card on the CPU is further reduced.
In one embodiment, the intelligent network card further comprises a storage module, and the first chip and the second chip utilize the DMA controller to write or read network messages in the storage module.
It is appreciated that a DMA (Direct Memory Access) controller may allow hardware devices of different speeds to communicate without relying on a significant interrupt load of the CPU. A DMA controller transfer copies data from one address space to another. For example, the network packet may be copied from the address space of the first chip or the second chip to the address space of the memory module, or the network packet may be copied from the address space of the memory module to the address space of the first chip or the second chip. In the process of transmitting network messages by using the DMA controller, the DMA controller directly manages the bus, namely, before the DMA controller transmits the network messages, the CPU gives the bus control right to the DMA controller, and after the DMA transmission is finished, the DMA controller immediately gives the bus control right back to the CPU.
Illustratively, during the process of sending the network message by the intelligent network card, the first chip reads the network message from the physical machine end, and then writes the network message into the storage module by using the DMA controller. And after the second chip receives the first message transmission notice sent by the first chip, the second chip reads the network message from the storage module by using the DMA controller.
Illustratively, in the process of receiving the network message by the intelligent network card, the second chip receives the network message from the network side, and after generating the second target network message, writes the second target network message into the storage module by using the DMA controller. And after the first chip receives a second message transmission notice sent by the second chip, the first chip reads a second target network message from the storage module by using the DMA controller.
By the embodiment, the efficiency of reading or writing the message in the storage module by the first chip or the second chip can be improved, and the first chip or the second chip is not driven by a CPU (central processing unit), so that the process of sending or receiving the message is simplified, and the message processing efficiency of the intelligent network card is further improved.
According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the present disclosure further provides a data center, where the data center includes the intelligent network card according to any one of the above embodiments of the present disclosure. The data center can be cloud computing or a data center in the cloud field.
According to the embodiment of the disclosure, the disclosure also provides a message transmission method of the intelligent network card.
As shown in fig. 2, the message transmission method of the intelligent network card includes:
step S201: reading a network message from a physical machine end through a first chip, and writing the network message into a storage module;
step S202: sending a first message transmission notice to a second chip through a high-speed serial bus exchanger;
step S203: and reading the network message from the storage module through the second chip, and transmitting the first target network message to a network terminal.
For example, in step S201, the network packet may be a packet sent from the physical end and transmitted to the network end. And the CPU at the physical machine end generates a message sending request and sends the message sending request to the first chip. And responding to the message sending request, the first chip reads the network message from the memory at the physical machine end and writes the network message into the storage module of the intelligent network card.
Illustratively, in step S202, the first message transmission notification may be generated by the first chip, and the first chip sends the first message transmission notification to the second chip directly through the high-speed serial bus switch.
Illustratively, in step S203, the message processing module may be integrated with the second chip. After the second chip reads the network message from the storage module, the message processing module is used for performing operations such as packaging, routing, header modification and the like on the network message so as to generate a first target network message.
It should be noted that, in other examples of the present disclosure, the message processing module may also be integrated in the first chip. For example, after reading the network packet, the first chip performs packet processing on the network packet by using the packet processing module to generate a first target network packet, and then writes the first target network packet into the storage module. And after reading the first target network message from the storage module, the second chip sends the first target network message to the network terminal.
According to the method of the embodiment of the disclosure, when the physical machine end sends the network message, the first chip can directly read the network message from the memory of the physical machine end and write the network message into the storage module, and the first chip is not required to be driven by the CPU to execute reading and writing operations on the network message. And after writing the network message into the storage module, the first chip can directly send a first message transmission notice to the second chip through the high-speed serial bus exchanger, so that the second chip directly reads the first target network message from the storage module. Thus, the second chip does not need to be driven by the CPU when executing message reading, processing and transmission. Therefore, according to the method disclosed by the embodiment of the disclosure, in the process that the intelligent network card transmits the network message from the physical machine end to the network end, the CPU is not required to participate in message processing, the performance requirement of the intelligent network card on the CPU is favorably reduced, the message processing process is simplified, and the message processing efficiency is improved.
As shown in fig. 3, in one embodiment, step S201 includes:
step S301: the first chip reads the network message from the memory of the physical machine end through the DMA controller and writes the network message into a second chip sending queue of the storage module.
Illustratively, in response to a message sending request sent by the physical machine, the first chip directly reads the network message from the memory of the physical machine through the DMA controller, and writes the network message into the second chip sending queue of the memory module through the DMA controller. It should be noted that, in the related art, the intelligent network card needs to receive the message sending request through the CPU of the intelligent network card, and then drives the first chip to execute the message reading operation through the CPU of the intelligent network card.
As can be seen, in this embodiment, in the process of transmitting the network packet from the physical device end to the network end through the intelligent network card, the first chip may directly read the network packet from the memory on the physical device end through the DMA controller. Therefore, the first chip can directly read and write the network message without waiting for the driving of the CPU of the intelligent network card, so that the process of reading and writing the network message by the first chip is simplified, and the processing efficiency of the intelligent network card on the network message is improved.
As shown in fig. 4, in one embodiment, step S203 includes:
step S401: in response to the first message transmission notification, the second chip reads a network message from a second chip sending queue through the DMA controller;
step S402: executing message processing on the network message through a message processing module to generate a first target network message;
step S403: and transmitting the first target network message to a network terminal through the second chip.
For example, in step S401, the second chip may be directly invoked to perform a network packet reading operation by sending a first packet transmission notification to the second chip. The first message transmission notice can be directly sent to the second chip by the first chip through the high-speed serial bus exchanger. In response to the first message transfer notification, the second chip may read the network message directly from the second chip send queue through the DMA controller.
Illustratively, in step S402, the message processing module may be integrated with the second chip. After the second chip reads the network message, the message processing module performs operations such as encapsulation, routing, header modification and the like on the network message to generate a first target network message.
Through the embodiment, before the second chip reads the network message from the storage module, the second chip can respond to the first message transmission notice sent by the first chip without waiting for the driving of the intelligent network card CPU, and can directly execute the reading operation of the network message, so that the purpose that the second chip bypasses the CPU to directly read the network message is realized, the requirement on the performance of the CPU is favorably reduced, and the message transmission efficiency of the intelligent network card is further improved.
The following describes a message transmission method of the intelligent network card according to an embodiment of the present disclosure with reference to a specific example.
In the process that the intelligent network card transmits the network message from the physical machine end to the network end, an application program on a CPU (central processing unit) of the physical machine end submits a message sending request to the first chip. And responding to the message sending request, the first chip directly reads the network message from the server memory by using the DMA controller, and writes the network message into a second chip sending queue in the intelligent network card memory module by using the DMA controller. The first chip then sends a first message transmission notification to the second chip through the high speed serial bus switch. In response to the first message transfer notification, the second chip reads a network message from a second chip send queue of the memory module using the DMA controller. And then, the second chip executes message processing on the network message by using the message processing module to generate a first target network message and transmits the first target network message to the network terminal. Therefore, the intelligent network card completes the message transmission process of transmitting the network message from the physical machine end to the network end.
According to the embodiment of the disclosure, the disclosure also provides a message transmission method of the intelligent network card.
As shown in fig. 5, the method for transmitting a message of the intelligent network card includes:
step S501: receiving the network message from the network end through the second chip, and writing a second target network message into the storage module;
step S502: sending a second message transmission notice to the first chip through the high-speed serial bus exchanger;
step S503: and reading the second target network message from the storage module through the first chip, and transmitting the second target network message to the physical machine end.
Exemplarily, in step S501, the second chip may receive a network packet directly from the network, in other words, the network packet may be sent to the second chip directly from the network. After the second chip reads the network message, the message processing module is used for executing message processing on the network message to generate a second target network message, and the second target network message is written into the storage module of the intelligent network card.
Illustratively, in step S502, the second message transmission notification may be generated by the second chip, and the second chip sends the second message transmission notification directly to the first chip through the high-speed serial bus switch. It should be noted that, in the process of transmitting a network message from a network end to a physical machine end, the intelligent network card in the related art needs to feed back information to the CPU of the intelligent network card after the second chip writes the second target network message into the storage module, and then the CPU of the intelligent network card generates a second message transmission notification and sends the second message transmission notification to the first chip.
For example, in step S503, after the first chip reads the second target network packet from the storage module, the second target network packet may be directly written into the memory at the physical machine end without waiting for the CPU of the intelligent network card to send a write instruction to the second target network packet.
It should be noted that in other examples of the present disclosure, the message processing module may be integrated with the first chip. And after receiving the network message from the network terminal, the second chip directly writes the network message into the storage module and sends a second message transmission notice to the first chip. In response to the second message transmission notification, the first chip performs message processing on the network message by using the message processing module to generate a second target network message, and transmits the second target network message to the physical machine side.
According to the message transmission method of the embodiment of the disclosure, the second chip can directly receive the network message sent by the network terminal, generate the second target network message after performing message processing on the network message, and write the second target network message into the storage module, so that the process that the second chip waits for the CPU drive of the intelligent network card is omitted, and the second chip can directly perform processing and write operation on the network message. And after writing the second target network message into the storage module, the second chip can directly send a second message transmission notice to the first chip through the high-speed serial bus exchanger, so that the first chip directly reads the second target network message from the storage module and transmits the second target network message. Therefore, the first chip does not need to be driven by the CPU of the intelligent network card before the reading and the transmission of the second target network message are executed. Therefore, according to the method disclosed by the embodiment of the disclosure, in the process of transmitting the network message from the network end to the physical end by the intelligent network card, the CPU does not need to participate in message processing, the performance requirement on the CPU can be reduced, the message processing process is simplified, and the message processing efficiency is favorably improved.
As shown in fig. 6, in one embodiment, step S501 includes:
step S601: receiving a network message from a network terminal through a second chip;
step S602: executing message processing on the network message through a message processing module to generate a second target network message;
step S603: and writing the second target network message into a first chip sending queue of the storage module through the DMA controller.
Illustratively, in step S602, the message processing module may be integrated on the second chip. After receiving the network packet, the second chip may directly perform operations such as encapsulation, routing, and header modification on the network packet by using the packet processing module, so as to generate a second target network packet.
It should be noted that, in the process of transmitting a network message from a network end to a physical machine end, the intelligent network card in the related art needs to drive the second chip to perform message processing and message writing operations through the CPU of the intelligent network card, and then drive the first chip to perform message reading and message transmission operations through the CPU of the intelligent network card.
Through the above embodiment, in the process that the intelligent network card transmits the network message from the network end to the physical machine end, after the second chip receives the network message from the network end, the second chip can directly perform message processing and message writing operations on the network message. Therefore, the second chip can bypass the CPU to directly execute message processing and message writing operation without waiting for the driving of the CPU of the intelligent network card, and the transmission efficiency of the intelligent network card to network messages is improved.
As shown in fig. 7, in one embodiment, step S503 includes:
step S701: in response to the second message transmission notification, the first chip reads a second target network message from the first chip sending queue through the DMA controller;
step S702: and transmitting the second target network message to a physical machine end through the first chip.
For example, in step S701, after receiving the second message transmission notification, the first chip may directly read the second target network message from the first chip sending queue through the DMA controller, so that it is not necessary to wait for the CPU of the smart network card to drive the first chip to perform a message reading operation.
In the intelligent network card in the related art, after the second chip writes the second target network message into the storage module, the second chip feeds back information to the CPU of the intelligent network card, and then the CPU generates a second message transmission notification and sends the second message transmission notification to the first chip to drive the first chip to execute a message reading operation.
Through the embodiment, before the first chip reads the second target network message from the storage module, the first chip can directly execute the reading operation of the second target network message in response to the second message transmission notification sent by the second chip without waiting for the driving of the intelligent network card CPU, so that the purpose that the first chip bypasses the CPU to directly read the second target network message is realized, the performance requirement on the CPU is favorably reduced, and the message transmission efficiency of the intelligent network card is further improved.
The following describes a message transmission method of an intelligent network card according to an embodiment of the present disclosure with reference to a specific example.
In the process that the intelligent network card transmits the network message from the network end to the physical machine end, the second chip receives the network message from the network end, performs message processing on the network message by using the message processing module to generate a second target network message, and writes the second target network message into a first chip sending queue in the intelligent network card storage module by using the DMA controller. The second chip then sends a second message transmission notification to the first chip through the high speed serial bus switch. And responding to the second message transmission notice, the first chip reads a second target network message from the first chip sending queue of the intelligent network card memory by using the DMA controller, and writes the second target network message into a memory at a physical machine end by using the DMA controller.
