DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following examples are intended to illustrate the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. Accordingly, equivalent inventions performing the same functions as the present invention are also within the scope of the present invention.

In the following description, the same reference numerals denote the same components, and unnecessary redundant explanations and descriptions of known technologies will be omitted.

In the following description, "server" refers to a server computer to which users access to use game contents. In the case of a game having a small capacity or a small number of users, a plurality of game programs can be operated in one game server. In addition, in the case of a game having a very large capacity or a large number of real-time connections, there may be one or more game servers for operating one game depending on the functions of the game.

In addition, the server may be further connected to the server that performs the middleware or payment processing for the database, the description thereof will be omitted in the present invention.

1 is a view showing a game server system according to an embodiment of the present invention. The game server system 100 may include a world server 110, an authentication server 120, a lobby server 130, other servers 140, a first game world server 150, a second game world server 160, and DB server 170 is included.

Here, the game server system 100 may include two or more game world servers, and the first game world server 150 and the second game world server 160 each include a plurality of zone servers 151 to 15n. , 161 to 16n).

Referring to FIG. 1, the world server 110 is connected to the authentication server 120, the lobby server 130, the other server 140, the first game world server 150, and the second game world server by a network relationship. It manages and relays the connection of 160, observes the entire world information, and performs functions such as assigning and managing commands according to the situation and allocating processing areas of the zone servers 151 to 15n and 161 to 16n.

The authentication server 120 authenticates a user and processes a request.

The lobby server 130 performs various lobby processes when the user plays a game. For example, the rover server 130 may perform a user authentication process when the user accesses to play a game, and performs a function of guiding the member to the game when it is confirmed that the user is a member through authentication.

The first game world server 150 and the second game world server 160 process a portion of the game world allocated by the world server 110, and each of the zone servers 151-15n and 161-16n each has its own. It handles the user's request existing in the server and manages the neighbor information of another zone server adjacent to itself.

The DB server 170 is configured with a general database server device, etc., and can manage various data necessary for providing a game. For example, the DB server 170 may store and manage various types of information, including game user IDs, passwords, billing information, e-mail and game-related logic, game-related data, and messages.

The other server 140 is the above-mentioned world server 110, authentication server 120, lobby server 130, the first game world server 150, the second game world server 160 and DB server 170 Management for other functions (e.g., functions related to chatting between users, teaming of users in a game, etc.) other than the functions performed by the "

In FIG. 1, the reason for the existence of the multiple zone servers 151 to 15n and 161 to 16n is divided into a storage location capable of storing a large number of user information in one game world server in real time, and load balancing. This is to compensate for the limitation on server capacity size.

Since the game server system 100 for a game (especially the Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game) has a very low latency and a large number of users, the game server system 100 should be designed for performance and scalability to co-process them. do.

In particular, since the game server system 100 for RPG-based games has a high update rate, it is necessary to implement the game server system 100 using DB clustering in the distributed case as described above.

Here, DB clustering distributes the usage from one server to multiple servers and processes the same data without difficulty even if many requests are received at once. And the user's requests are evenly distributed so that efficient work can be achieved.

2 illustrates DB clustering. Referring to FIG. 2, MySQL Cluster and NoSQL (eg, Cassandra, MongoDB, CouchDB, Redis, etc.) may be used for DB clustering.

MySQL Cluster is a horizontally-scalable memory database that performs parallel loads of data in physically separate memory and is highly available.

In the case of Cassandra, the write operation is much faster than the read operation, so it is suitable for storing game logs, is suitable for storing uncomplicated log data, and has high performance even in a low-spec system, and in MongoDB, It can replace MySQL, has high queuing speed, and has the advantage of relatively dynamic query.

In the case of CouchDB, it is advantageous when data accumulation occurs mainly and relatively few changes are made. In the case of Redis, it is suitable when data changes rapidly in a database of predictable size.

In addition, the game server system 100 may separate the server logic for game processing into data and processing logic, and the processing logic may be equally arranged on all servers of the game server system 100, Each processing logic can be isolated so that it does not affect each other.

In the case of the game server system 100, a queue of a limited size of a predetermined size is declared due to a memory problem, and the processing cost of a consumer and a producer is different, and thus the cost of the lock becomes high because the queue is full or empty.

In addition, as the number of access requests to the game server system 100 increases, the lock cost becomes high, and programming of concurrency processing using the lock function is also very difficult.

Therefore, increasing performance and development difficulty in multi-thread for concurrency processing is a problem related to such a queue. A circular buffer is used for concurrency processing while maintaining multi-thread.

3 illustrates a circular buffer according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 3, the circular buffer 200 may include a plurality of producers and a plurality of consumers, and may perform various tasks including data processing, storage, and classification between producing and consuming. .

For example, a producer may store data in consecutive places in an array of circular buffers 200, and consumers may read this data in the input order, each of which may identify each other's current location.

4 is a diagram illustrating a first game world server and a DB server according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 4, the DB server 170 includes a game main DB server 172 and a game log DB server 174. Although the first game world server 150 is illustrated as including only zone server 1 151 and zone server 2 152, the first game world server 150 may include two or more zone servers.

The circular buffer 200 may be used in each of the zone server 1 151 and the zone server 2 152, and a game logic processing process and a preprocessor may be configured therein, and most data may be generated in real time. It can be stored and horizontally expanded.

Through the game logic processing process, data classification may be performed for each processing service (eg, inventory processing, message processing, purchase processing, etc.), and data inspection, logic distribution, and message routing may be performed through a preprocessor.

In this case, the game logic processing process may correspond to a sequential process. In this case, the preprocessor may correspond to performing preprocessing or preliminary calculation for game logic processing.

For example, each of the zone server 1 151 and the zone server 2 152 may store the game related logic, inventory processing, distance calculation, message processing, etc. using the circular buffer 200.

The game main DB server 172 may be implemented with the MySQL cluster described in FIG. 2, and may perform parallel loading of game related data except game logs in a physically separated memory.

The game log DB server 174 stores a game log and may be implemented as Cassandra for storing the game log, but the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto.

5 is a flowchart illustrating an operating method for game processing of a game server system according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. The operation method for the game processing may be performed by the game server system 100 shown in FIG.

Referring to FIG. 5, a game server for game processing included in the game server system 100 is recognized as one game world server 150 or 160, which is n zone servers 151 to 15n or 161 to. 16n) (S110).

Thereafter, the game processing area of the n zone servers 151 to 15n or 161 to 16n is allocated (S120).

Next, the game server system 100 separates logic for game processing into data and processing logic (S130), and arranges the processing logic in the n zone servers in the same manner (S140). In this case, the processing logic disposed in the n zone servers may be isolated so as not to influence each other.

Thereafter, the game processing is sequentially performed in parallel through the processing logic and the circular buffer in which the n zone servers are arranged (S150). In this case, the circular buffer may be configured with the processing logic and the preprocessor, and the circular buffer may be configured to perform concurrency processing while maintaining multiple threads.

6 is a flowchart illustrating an operating method for game processing of a game server system according to another exemplary embodiment of the present invention. The operation method for the game processing may be performed by the game server system 100 shown in FIG.

Referring to FIG. 6, a game server for game processing included in the game server system 100 is configured with two or more distributed servers (S210).

Next, DB clustering of the distributed servers (S220). In this case, the DB clustering may include DB clustering using MySQL Cluster or NoSQL, and the NoSQL may include Cassandra, MongoDB, CouchDB, and Redis.

The game server system 100 separates logic for game processing into data and processing logic (S230), and arranges the processing logic in the distributed servers in the same manner (S240).

Thereafter, the game server system 100 sequentially processes the game process in parallel through the disposed processing logic and the circular buffer (S250).
