Detailed Description

The present invention will be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

The embodiment of the invention provides a test method of a server. Fig. 1 is a schematic flowchart of a method for testing a server according to an embodiment of the present invention; as shown in fig. 1, the method includes:

step 101: the method comprises the steps that a test device sends a concurrence request to a database in a tested ARM server based on communication connection established with the database in the tested ARM server; at least one virtual machine is established on the ARM server to be tested, and the database is deployed in each virtual machine;

step 102: and the test equipment obtains relevant processing information corresponding to the concurrent request, and determines the evaluation information of the tested ARM server based on the relevant processing information.

The test method of the server in the embodiment is applied to test equipment. The test equipment is used for testing the ARM server (i.e. the tested ARM server in this embodiment). In some embodiments, a test tool (or referred to as test software) may be installed in the test device, and after the test tool is loaded or the test software is run, the performance of the ARM server may be tested to obtain evaluation information of the ARM server, where the evaluation information characterizes the performance of the ARM server, and in particular, the NFV performance. In practical application, the testing device may be implemented by a Personal Computer (PC), or may be implemented by another server, and the type of the testing device is not specifically limited in this embodiment.

For NFV applications, the underlying hardware presents virtualized computing, storage, and network resources upwards, and the ARM architecture is the most different from the x86 architecture in terms of computing resources, mainly due to the difference in instruction sets. The Central Processing Unit (CPU) of the ARM architecture is characterized by a large number of cores, compared with the contemporary processor in 2019, 48 cores for an ARM spread spectrum 4826 single processor, and 16 cores for an intel 5218(intel 5218) single processor. Concurrent coordination among processor cores is made more important as the number of cores increases. Based on the test performance index of the ARM server and the test system architecture provided by the embodiment of the invention.

As an example, fig. 2 is a schematic structural diagram of a test system of a server according to an embodiment of the present invention; as shown in fig. 2, the system under test in this embodiment includes a test device and an ARM server under test; in this embodiment, at least one Virtual Machine (VM) is created on the ARM server to be tested, and as shown in fig. 2 as an example, two Virtual machines may be created on the ARM server to be tested. And the at least one virtual machine is a virtual machine with the same specification. In some examples, the at least one virtual machine may be a multi-core virtual machine, e.g., the at least one virtual machine is a 4-core virtual machine. However, it should be noted that the number of cores of the virtual machine is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

In this embodiment, databases (DB, Data Base) are deployed separately in each virtual machine, and in some examples, the databases deployed in the virtual machines may be selected from relational databases, such as MariaDB (MariaDB is the mainstream substitute database for mySQL database, open source and fully compatible with mySQL).

In this embodiment, the concurrent request refers to a plurality of requests with the same transmission time (for example, a plurality of requests transmitted by a transmitting side at the same time) or a plurality of requests with similar transmission times (for example, a large number of requests transmitted by a transmitting side in a short period of time).

In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the number of the communication connections between the test device and the database in the ARM server under test is multiple; before the test device sends a concurrency request to the database in the tested ARM server based on the communication connection established with the database in the tested ARM server, the method further comprises: the test equipment configures N communication connections for testing from a plurality of communication connections; n is a positive integer. The test equipment sends a concurrency request to a database in the tested ARM server based on the communication connection established with the database in the tested ARM server, and the concurrency request comprises the following steps: and the test equipment sends a concurrency request to a database in the tested ARM server based on the N communication connections.

Referring to fig. 2, in this embodiment, a communication link is established between the test device and a database deployed in each virtual machine in the ARM server under test, and the test device can test the NFV capability of the ARM server under test through the communication link. Wherein the communication link may comprise a plurality of communication connections. Taking the database as MariaDB as an example, the communication connection number of MariaDB and the corresponding thread number are in one-to-one correspondence, so that the performance of the tested ARM server can be verified through the processing condition of the database under the test scene of different communication connection numbers.

In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the obtaining, by the testing device, relevant processing information corresponding to the concurrent request, and determining, based on the relevant processing information, evaluation information of the ARM server under test includes: the test equipment obtains relevant processing information corresponding to the concurrent request, wherein the relevant processing information at least comprises the test duration of the concurrent request and the number of responses corresponding to the concurrent request; determining a first parameter based on the test duration of the concurrent request and the number of responses corresponding to the concurrent request, and determining the evaluation information of the tested ARM server based on the first parameter.

In this embodiment, in one implementation, the first parameter may be transaction amount Per Second (TPS); one transaction refers to the process that the test equipment sends a request to the tested ARM server and the server reacts to the request. And the test equipment starts timing when sending the request and finishes timing after receiving the response of the tested ARM server so as to calculate the used time and the number of finished transactions. In another embodiment, the first parameter may also be a duration of use of a transaction (or may also be referred to as a transaction delay), which indicates a duration of use of processing a transaction.

In some optional embodiments of the present invention, the sending, by the testing device, a concurrent request to the database in the ARM server under test includes: the test equipment sends a concurrence request to a database in the tested ARM server within a preset test duration; the concurrent requests comprise X requests, wherein X is a positive integer; correspondingly, the obtaining, by the testing device, the relevant processing information corresponding to the concurrent request includes: the test equipment receives Y responses in the test duration; y is a positive integer less than or equal to X; determining the first parameter based on the test duration and the number Y.

In this embodiment, in some embodiments, the unit of the test duration may be converted into second, and the transaction amount per second is obtained by dividing the test duration (in seconds) by the number Y. In other embodiments, the test duration may be divided by the number Y to obtain a duration for processing a transaction.

In this embodiment, due to the increase of the number of cores of the processor of the ARM server, the concurrent coordination among the cores of the processor is more important. Based on this, the following indexes for describing the core capability of the processor of the tested ARM server are provided in the embodiment of the present invention: the computer capability information of the virtual machine of the tested ARM server and the concurrent computer capability information of the tested ARM server.

In an optional embodiment of the present invention, in a case that N is less than the first threshold, the measured ARM server evaluation information includes virtual machine computing capability information of the measured ARM server.

In an optional embodiment of the present invention, in a case that N is greater than the second threshold, the measured ARM server evaluation information includes concurrent computation capability information of the measured ARM server.

In this embodiment, the number of communication connections (i.e., the value of N) established between the test device and the database in the ARM server under test is adjustable. For example, the tester may configure the number of communication connections established with the database in the ARM server under test through the test tool in the test equipment. For example, the number of communication connections (i.e. the value of N) may be 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, and so on, and of course, the number of communication connections established between the testing device and the database in the ARM server under test (i.e. the value of N) in the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to the above example, and other values may also be within the protection scope of the embodiment of the present invention.

In this embodiment, values of the first threshold and the second threshold may be set based on the number of configured communication connections (i.e., a value of N). The first threshold and the second threshold may be the same or different. For example, in the scenario of the number of the eight types of communication connections, the first threshold may be 10, in order to test the virtual machine computing capability information of the ARM server under test, in a case that the number of the communication connections is the minimum value (that is, the value of N is 8), sending a concurrent request is performed, so as to obtain the virtual machine computing capability of the ARM server under test in the scenario of a low connection number. For example, in the scenario of the number of the eight types of communication connections, the second threshold may be 300, and in order to test the concurrent computation capability information of the measured ARM server, in the case that the number of the communication connections is the maximum value (that is, the value of N is 512), the concurrent request is sent, so that the concurrent computation capability of the measured ARM server in the scenario of a high number of connections is obtained.

In this embodiment, in a scenario, that is, in a case where N is less than a first threshold (a low concurrency scenario), the virtual machine computing capability information of the ARM server under test is determined according to the test duration of the concurrent request and a first parameter determined according to the number of responses corresponding to the concurrent request. Wherein the first parameter may be TPS and/or duration of one transaction use; the larger the numerical value of the TPS is, the stronger the computing power of the virtual machine of the tested ARM server is; the smaller the duration of one-time transaction use is, the stronger the virtual machine computing capacity of the tested ARM server is.

In another scenario, that is, in a case where N is greater than a second threshold (a high concurrency scenario), the concurrent computation capability information of the ARM server under test is determined according to a test duration of the concurrent request and a first parameter determined according to the number of responses corresponding to the concurrent request. Wherein the first parameter may be TPS and/or duration of one transaction use; the larger the numerical value of the TPS is, the stronger the concurrent computation capability of the ARM server to be tested is; the smaller the duration of one transaction, the stronger the concurrent computing capability of the tested ARM server.

Aiming at the characteristics of the ARM architecture, the number of cores of the processors of the ARM server is much greater than that of the processors in the x86 server, and the concurrent computing capacity is also the key performance of the processors in the multi-core-based virtualization environment of the NFV application. Based on this, the embodiment of the present invention provides an evaluation index for describing NVF performance of an ARM server, including but not limited to: virtual machine computing power, concurrent computing power; wherein the virtual machine computing power is suitable for low concurrency scenes and represents the most basic capability of the processor; the concurrency computing capability is suitable for high concurrency scenes, and the key performance of the multi-core processor can be embodied. Of course, the evaluation indexes for describing the NVF performance of the ARM server in the embodiment of the present invention are not limited to the above two types, and may further include: real-time support capability and encryption and decryption capability, etc.

The obtaining of the real-time support capability information may include: the test equipment sends a concurrency request to a database in the tested ARM server; each request in the concurrent requests carries a sending time; obtaining responses corresponding to the concurrent requests, and determining the receiving time of each response; determining delay information based on the transmission time and the reception time corresponding to each request, and determining real-time support capability information based on the delay information. Wherein, the larger the time delay is, the worse the real-time support capability is; the smaller the time delay, the stronger the real-time support capability can be shown.

The design of the real-time support capability information is mainly based on the previous ARM research, and the fact that the real-time performance of the NFV network cloud on a certain ARM server cannot meet the requirement is found in the early stage. The real-time performance is related to both hardware and software. Where cache coherency, timer implementation, etc. in the processor have a direct impact on performance. The purpose of designing the real-time support capability information in this embodiment is to verify that the performance required by the virtual layer in the NFV network cloud is based on the implementation of the ARM.

The encryption and decryption processing capacity is the performance of the important bottom layer implementation of network cloud security, meanwhile, a typical x86 instruction set has a large number of optimized scenes, ARM lacks optimization aiming at the instruction set, and the encryption and decryption implemented by the computing capacity of the processor is tested to verify the performance of the processor.

By adopting the technical scheme of the embodiment of the invention, on the first hand, the concurrent request is sent through the communication connection established between the test equipment and the database deployed in each virtual machine established in the ARM server to be tested; and determining the evaluation information of the tested ARM server according to the obtained related processing information corresponding to the concurrent request, thereby realizing the NFV performance test and capability evaluation of the ARM server.

In a second aspect, in this embodiment, by adjusting the number of communication connections, and under the condition of a smaller number of communication connections, the computing capability information of the virtual machine of the measured ARM server is obtained by sending a concurrent request; under the condition of larger communication connection quantity, the concurrent computing capacity information of the ARM server to be tested is obtained by sending the concurrent request, so that the NVF performance test of the ARM server under the high-concurrency scene or the low-concurrency scene is realized.

The following describes a method for testing a server according to an embodiment of the present invention with reference to a specific example.

In combination with the example shown in fig. 2, two virtual machines with the same specification and 4 cores and 24G memories are created on the ARM server under test, and a MariaDB is deployed in each virtual machine. The number of communication connections of the configuration test equipment to each mariad db may be eight communication connections, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512. The test equipment runs a test tool, which may be, for example, a sysbench test tool, and the following embodiments are presented taking the above scenario as an example.

FIG. 3 is a schematic flow chart illustrating a method for testing a server according to an embodiment of the present invention; as shown in fig. 3, the method includes:

step 201: the test equipment builds a table in preparation for sending a table build request to the maria db, which may be referred to as a Prepare (Prepare) process. For example, 250 tables are built by test equipment, the number of the table rows is 25000, and the configuration test time is 120 seconds;

step 202: the testing equipment performs performance testing on the ARM server to be tested, the sysbench testing tool configures the number of communication connections, and a form building request is sent to the MariaDB based on the configured number of communication connections, and the process can be called a running (Run) process. The MariaDB adopts default setting, namely one thread corresponds to one communication connection;

step 203: and when the test time is up, the test equipment ends the test. During testing, the test equipment may obtain a response corresponding to the request to build a table. This process may be referred to as a table clearing (clearup) process.

And the sysbench testing tool of the testing equipment counts TPS and time delay corresponding to each MariaDB after the test is finished, and the TPS and the time delay are used as NFV performance of the MariaDB on the tested ARM server, so that the NFV performance of the ARM server is verified.

After step 203, the testing device may change the number of communication connections, and re-execute steps 201 to 203, so as to implement the NFV performance test on the ARM server under different numbers of communication connections (i.e. under different concurrency scenarios).

According to the scheme, the computing capacity test under different concurrency times is ingeniously realized through application software in a virtualization environment, and the multithreading concurrency can be quantitatively tested. Meanwhile, the difficulty that the test conditions need to be unified under different architectures is overcome. The maximum difficulty of NFV performance comparison with x86 architecture after the ARM architecture is introduced is that the software of the middle layer has great influence on the performance test result. Software under different architectures of ARM and x86 needs to be aligned, and under the condition that the industry has no precedent, the scheme ensures standard unification from the aspects of deployment and configuration of a database and a virtual machine creation method.
