Embodiment
Below, will elaborate to better embodiment of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
Computer module detecting method of the present invention comprises the temperature of the whole test environment of circulation rising and moves existing testing software and test, therefore can under the situation that constantly increases ambient pressure environment, test computer module, therefore the temperature that focuses on how adjusting test environment of the present invention has omitted how computer module is moved giving unnecessary details of existing testing software.
Because computing machine is the inner structure compactness of notebook computer especially, the temperature of internal environment is equivalent to central processing unit (Centeral Processing Unit, CPU) temperature of this main heat generating component, therefore, the temperature of adjusting CPU promptly is equivalent to environment temperature is adjusted.Figure 1 shows that the method flow diagram of the computer module detecting method of the embodiment of the invention.As shown in Figure 1, to save as example in the test notebook computer, method of testing of the present invention comprises following step:
The fluctuation range of cpu temperature in the test process at first is set, and stores these settings (step 301), the maximum of T of cpu temperature fluctuation is set HighWith minimum value T LowThe time; maximal value can not be too high; minimum value should not be low excessively; because maximal value is to be determined by the maximum temperature that CPU can bear; if CPU operation at high temperature for a long time can shorten its serviceable life; common Basic Input or Output System (BIOS) (Basic Input OutputSystem; BIOS) design has function that high temperature restarts automatically this reason just; if minimum value is crossed the low effect that can't reach the increase test pressure; because the temperature problem of high discovery more is many more; therefore, the setting of fluctuation range is an empirical value, according to system architecture; the heat radiation situation; tested internal memory and the difference that adopts the CPU model; the temperature range that is provided with is also with difference; for example, certain type cpu temperature situation that memory test is made mistakes in the time of 65 ℃ is more, therefore when test memory with lowest temperature T LowBe made as 65 ℃, the resistant to elevated temperatures upper limit of CPU that this type adopts is generally 90 ℃ (can find) in the CPU instructions, so with the maximum of T of fluctuation range HighBe made as 90 ℃;
Probe temperature TmpL (step 303) is set, and this probe temperature is the probe temperature of external environment, also is equivalent to the probe temperature of CPU according to the above, therefore calls the probe temperature TmpL of CPU in the following text;
The purpose that probe temperature TmpL is set is when the probe temperature that is provided with is not in the temperature fluctuation range that step 301 is provided with, and adjusts probe temperature automatically it is in the temperature fluctuation range, and as shown in Figure 2, it also comprises following step:
The probe temperature TmpL (step 3031) of initialization CPU, the probe temperature TmpL of CPU can be imported by the tester herein;
Judge that probe temperature TmpL is whether less than the minimum value T of temperature fluctuation range Low(step 3032), if, execution in step 3033, if not, execution in step 3034;
Make probe temperature TmpL equal the minimum value T of temperature fluctuation range Low, just making TmpL=65 ℃ (step 3033), execution in step 305 then;
Judge that probe temperature TmpL is whether greater than the maximum of T of temperature fluctuation range High(step 3034), if, execution in step 3035, if not, execution in step 305;
Make probe temperature TmpL equal the maximum of T of temperature fluctuation range High, just making TmpL=90 ℃ (step 3035), execution in step 305 then;
Circuit board operation a period of time of the internal memory that need test will be equiped with, make cpu temperature and computer-internal test environment temperature (step 305) very nearly the same, the time of CPU operation just can reach very high 1 second left and right sides temperature usually, and computer-internal environment compactness, need not just can make for a long time the temperature of CPU suitable with environment temperature;
Read the real time temperature Tmp (step 307) of CPU, real time temperature Tmp is also referred to as the surface temperature of CPU, as long as BIOS support into the rank group can with power interface ACPI (Advanced Configuration andPower Interface), just can normally obtain the real time temperature of CPU, at present, ACPI is extensively carried out as standard by industry, therefore each operating system all provides complete programmatic interface (ApplicationProgramming Interface, API) access method, so this paper no longer describes in detail;
Whether the real time temperature Tmp that judges CPU equals probe temperature TmpL (step 309), if be not equal to, and execution in step 311, if equal, execution in step 313;
Adjust the real time temperature Tmp (step 311) of CPU, the real time temperature of adjusting CPU makes it to equal probe temperature TmpL, and adjustment process hereinafter will be described in detail;
Carry out memory test and monitoring CPU real time temperature Tmp (step 313) constantly, in this step, test and monitoring are two parallel processes, part for memory test, i.e. Yun Hang test procedure can be one or more according to tester's needs operation, do not elaborate herein;
Monitoring CPU real time temperature Tmp and memory test are two independent processes constantly, but carry out simultaneously, because other hardware also can dispel the heat in the internal memory body examination examination process, thereby for the rising environment temperature contributes, and environment temperature should be constant in test process, so in test time, is monitoring temperature constantly also, in case could react rapidly when real time temperature is higher than probe temperature like this, guarantee that real time temperature is stabilized in probe temperature, these two parts are walked abreast on program could guarantee the stable of test environment, for the step of monitoring CPU real time temperature Tmp constantly, as shown in Figure 3, it also comprises:
Read the real time temperature Tmp (step 501) of CPU, the method that reads please refer to step 307; Whether the real time temperature Tmp that judges CPU equals probe temperature TmpL (step 503), if equal, continues execution in step 501, to continue to read the real time temperature Tmp of CPU, if be not equal to, and execution in step 505; Adjust the real time temperature Tmp (step 505) of CPU, the real time temperature of adjusting CPU makes it to equal probe temperature TmpL, and the method for adjustment is identical with step 311, hereinafter will be described in detail, continue execution in step 501 then, to continue to read the real time temperature Tmp of CPU;
Can't realize above-mentioned test and the parallel system of monitoring but limit by condition, as the DOS system, the frequency that can increase monitoring temperature maintains in the rational fluctuation range with the real time temperature that guarantees CPU;
Judging whether to change the probe temperature TmpL (step 315) of CPU, is execution in step 317 then, otherwise execution in step 319; The probe temperature TmpL that judges whether to change CPU carries out after can moving at the test procedure of an internal memory and finishing, and perhaps all moves at the test procedure of all internal memories and carries out after finishing, and can set according to tester's needs herein;
The purpose that judges whether to change the probe temperature TmpL of CPU is the temperature that constantly increases test environment, the circular flow test procedure, there to be the test result under the different temperatures in obtaining, if do not reach the upper limit of temperature fluctuation range, the probe temperature TmpL that can strengthen CPU is to carry out memory test under this temperature, if and arrived the upper limit, that one just can finish the adjustment of probe temperature TmpL, so judges whether that changed test temperature T mpL is very necessary;
Adjust probe temperature TmpL (step 317), increase or reduce probe temperature TmpL, the amplitude of its increase or minimizing can be according to tester's the setting that needs, and as 1 ℃ or more, execution in step 303 then;
Judge whether test finishes (step 319), if, then finish whole temperature adjustment and test process, if not, then execution in step 313, proceed test.
Wherein, in step 311 and the step 505, the approach of adjusting the real time temperature Tmp of CPU has two kinds, is respectively the rotating speed of control cpu fan and/or the power that increases CPU.The cpu fan stall cpu temperature that can raise, along with the temperature of the increase CPU of rotation speed of the fan can reduce gradually, the power of CPU is directly proportional with temperature, and power increases temperature and also can rise.Therefore these two kinds of methods all can realize promoting/reducing the effect of cpu temperature.
The increase of the rotating speed of fan, air flow in the cabinet has played the effect of equalizer set the temperature inside the box (environment temperature of hardware testing process just), the control method of cpu fan is included among the ACPI, but seldom there is operating system to provide access interface for the user, but can get access to the method that different type of machines is controlled cpu fan by the information of resolving among the ACPI, can see the books of relevant calculation machine fan test generation method for details, not repeat them here.But in test process as no specific (special) requirements do not make the fan stall but keep the fan high speed rotating as far as possible.
And the method for adjusting cpu power also has two kinds: a kind of is to calculate circular constant; Another kind is directly to drive cpu instruction to carry out computing.The common ground of this dual mode is to increase CPU floating-point operation amount in the unit interval to improve the power of CPU, just the mode difference.Discussed with regard to these two kinds of methods below.
Computerese realizes that the algorithm of calculating circular constant is a lot, calculates as the formula of admiring by plum.Plum is admired and has used two arc tangent formula in the formula, is respectively arctg (1/5) and arctg (1/239), can use the totalizer in the algorithm routine design to calculate, and the formula calculation method is a prior art because plum is admired, so locate not to be described in more detail.
Utilization makes CPU calculate the method for circular constant because calculated amount is constant, can be within the specific limits with temperature stabilization, but the speed that correspondingly heats up also can't be accelerated.
Improving the effective and efficient manner of cpu power is the number of times that increases floating-point operation in the unit interval, and this is because the floating-point operation complex calculations process that to be CPU inner carries out, and in calculating process, use register, arithmetical unit etc. also maximum.
Below be to adopt the expansion of single-instruction multiple-data stream (SIMD) formula (Streaming SIMD Extensions, SSE) method of technology raising cpu power.The SSE technology aims at and strengthens the design of floating-point operation ability, and the processor with the support of SSE instruction set has 8 128 register, and each register can be deposited the floating number of 4 (promptly 32) single precisions.SSE provides an instruction set simultaneously, and instruction permission wherein is loaded into floating number among these registers of 128, and these floating numbers just can be carried out arithmetic logical operation in these registers, then the result is put back to internal memory.Single instruction multiple data (single-instructionmultiple-data, SIMD) technology is a kind of CPU execution pattern of using single track instruction process multiple tracks data stream, promptly finishes the operation of handling a plurality of data with instructing together at a cpu instruction in the performance period.SIMD is the specific implementation of SSE technology.
Contrast different instruction test back finds that the multiplying order " MULPS " of assembly language and add instruction " ADDPS " are best to the effect that improves cpu power in the SIMD instruction set.The MULPS instruction is used for four pairs of single precision floating datums of source operand and target operand are carried out multiplication in groups, and deposit the result in target operand, the ADDPS instruction is used for four pairs of single precision floating datums of source operand and target operand are carried out addition in groups, and deposits the result in target operand.
The method that increases the CPU flops in unit interval is very obvious for the effect that improves cpu temperature, can in the time about 1 second, cpu temperature be raised to about 100 ℃ by normal temperature, but this method is not easy to make cpu temperature to keep constant, if temperature constantly changes, then be difficult to guarantee precision of test result.
Therefore, can accelerate temperature again and regulate the speed in order to make cpu temperature keep stable, need a kind of method for regulating temperature, this method can be rapidly heated and more can finely tune temperature.The present invention combines the method for the rotating speed of circular constant algorithm, increase cpu power method and control cpu fan, and the amplitude of temperature adjustment is provided with, when real time temperature Tmp is lower than probe temperature TmpL, according to programming rate from slowly to being divided into five grades soon, be that a positive grade is to positive five grades, when real time temperature Tmp is higher than probe temperature TmpL, according to cooling rate from slowly to being divided into a negative grade soon to negative three grades.Wherein all corresponding temperature of each grade is adjusted scheme (hereinafter will describe in detail).For notebook computer, a positive grade to negative these values of three grades can be set at respectively: 0 ℃, and 2 ℃, 5 ℃, 9 ℃, 15 ℃;-2 ℃ ,-5 ℃ ,-10 ℃.As shown in Figure 5, this concrete grammar comprises following step:
The probe temperature TmpL (step 801) of initialization CPU, its concrete grammar please refer to step 305 above; Obtain the real time temperature Tmp (step 803) of CPU, concrete grammar please refer to step 307 above; Calculate the difference L (step 805) of probe temperature and real time temperature, i.e. L=TmpL-Tmp;
Whether judge difference L less than positive five grades (step 807), if less than, then execution in step 811, if be not less than, and execution in step 809; Carry out the intensification scheme (step 809) of positive five grades, hereinafter state auspicious, execution in step 803 then; Whether judge difference L less than positive fourth class level (step 811), if less than, execution in step 815, if be not less than, execution in step 813; Carry out the intensification scheme (step 813) of positive fourth class level, hereinafter state auspicious, execution in step 803 then; Judge that whether difference L is less than positive three grades (step 815), if less than execution in step 819, if be not less than execution in step 817; Carry out the intensification scheme (step 817) of positive three grades, hereinafter state auspicious, execution in step 803 then; Whether judge difference L less than positive two grades (step 819), if less than, execution in step 823, if be not less than, execution in step 821; Carry out the intensification scheme (step 821) of positive two grades, hereinafter state auspicious, execution in step 803 then; Whether judge difference L less than a positive grade (step 823), if less than, execution in step 827, if be not less than, execution in step 825; Carry out the intensification scheme (step 825) of a positive grade, hereinafter state auspicious, execution in step 803 then;
Whether judge difference L less than a negative grade (step 827), if less than, execution in step 831, if be not less than, execution in step 829; Carry out the cooling profiles (step 829) of a negative grade, the rotating speed that is about to fan increases by 50%, and the method for adjustment of rotation speed of the fan please refer to above, and execution in step 803 then; Whether judge difference L less than negative two grades (step 831), if less than, execution in step 835, if be not less than, execution in step 833; Carry out the cooling profiles (step 833) of negative two grades, the rotating speed that is about to fan increases by 75%, and the method for adjustment of rotation speed of the fan please refer to above, and execution in step 803 then; Whether judge difference L less than negative three grades (step 835), if less than, then finish, if be not less than, execution in step 837; Carry out the cooling profiles (step 837) of negative three grades, the rotating speed that is about to fan increases by 100%, and the method for adjustment of rotation speed of the fan please refer to above, and execution in step 803 then.
Wherein, a positive grade to the intensification scheme of positive five grades is respectively:
A positive grade adopts the circular constant computational algorithm, is used for constant cpu temperature;
Positive two grades to positive five grades all adopt the method that increases cpu power, but in order to change the amplitude of intensification, need distinguish the speed of power ascension by programming, mainly be to utilize in the middle of the floating-point operation instruction to increase surge time, and the simple code of each grade is as follows:
The simple code of positive two grades:
……

……
Can find that from above-mentioned code the difference between each grade mainly is what and the increase of additive operation in groups that dummy instruction is used.Utilize said method can realize not homotactic read/write/compare operation, thereby reach test purpose.
