Description

一种配置加速器的方法和装置
本申请要求于2016年4月13日提交中国专利局、申请号为201610227605.3、发明名称为“一种配置加速器的方法和装置”的中国专利申请的优先权，其中，申请号为201610227605.3的中国专利申请要求于2015年12月31日提交到中国专利局、申请号为201511032133.8、发明名称为“一种配置加速器的方法和装置”的中国专利申请的优先权，两个申请全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。
技术领域
本发明涉及计算机技术领域，尤其涉及一种配置加速器的方法和装置。
背景技术
加速器是信息技术(英文全称：information technology，英文简称：IT)、通信技术(英文全称：communication technology，英文简称：CT)和信息与通信技术(英文全称：information and communications technology，英文简称：ICT)中性能提升的关键器件，其能够对业务进行加速。常用的加速器硬件包括：现场可编程门阵列(英文全称：field-programmable gate array，英文简称：FPGA)、图形处理器(英文全称：graphic processing unit，英文简称：GPU)、数字信号处理(英文全称：digital signal process，英文简称：DSP)、集成电路(英文全称：application specific integrated circuit，英文简称：ASIC)等。只有当加速器硬件上加载了某一业务类型(例如视频类型等)对应的业务逻辑功能(具体可通过加载一个业务对应的二进制文件，也称bin文件)之后，才能为具有该业务类型的业务提供加速服务。
目前，一般地，服务器中所设置的加速器是已经加载有某业务对应的业务逻辑功能之后所生成的加速器，并且，一个加速器一旦设置在服务器中，其始终只能为一种业务提供加速服务。由于业务类型多种多样，利用现有技术中的配置加速器的方法，为了给每种业务类型的业务提供加速服务，需要在服务器中设置每种业务类型对应的加速器，然而，服务器并非时时刻刻都需要为每种业务提供加速服务，因此同一时刻会有部分加速器会处于空闲状态，这会使得加速器资源的利用率较低。
发明内容
本发明的实施例提供一种配置加速器的方法和装置，用以提高加速器资源的利用率。
为达到上述目的，本发明的实施例采用如下技术方案：
第一方面，提供一种配置加速器的方法，应用于包含至少一个裸加速器的服务器中，其中，所述裸加速器是指为加速器硬件加载了基本逻辑功能之后生成的加速器，所述基本逻辑功能包括通信接口功能和加载功能；所述方法包括：
所述服务器确定目标业务类型和目标裸加速器；
所述服务器确定所述目标业务类型对应的业务逻辑功能；
所述服务器为所述目标裸加速器加载所述目标业务类型对应的业务逻辑功能，生成目标业务加速器，其中，所述目标业务加速器能够为具有所述目标业务类型的业务提供加速服务。
本发明实施例提供的配置加速器的方法，通过确定目标业务类型和目标裸加速器，从而为目标裸加速器加载目标业务类型对应的业务逻辑功能，生成业务加速器。也就是说，本发明实施例中，当需要为某种业务提供加速服务时，才为该业务配置业务加速器，即按需设置，相比现有技术中预先设置好为每种业务提供加速服务的加速器的技术方案相比，能够提高加速器资源的利用率。
第二方面，提供一种配置加速器的装置，应用于包含至少一个裸加速器的服务器中，其中，所述裸加速器是指为加速器硬件加载了基本逻辑功能之后生成的加速器，所述基本逻辑功能包括通信接口功能和加载功能；所述装置包括：

加载单元，用于为所述目标裸加速器加载所述目标业务类型对应的业务逻辑功能，生成目标业务加速器，其中，所述目标业务加速器能够为具有所述目标业务类型的业务提供加速服务。
由于本发明实施例中的配置加速器的装置可以用于执行上述第一方面中所述的配置加速器的方法，因此其所能获得的技术效果可以参考上述第一方面中的技术效果，此处不再赘述。
基于上述第一方面，在一种可选的实现方式中，所述服务器确定目标业务类型和目标裸加速器，可以包括：所述服务器接收用户设备发送的目标业务类型，若所述服务器 中没有为具有所述目标业务类型的业务提供加速服务的加速器，则所述服务器从所述至少一个裸加速器中选择一个裸加速器作为目标裸加速器。

交换单板用于连接服务单板1与服务单板2，示例的，服务单板1中的网卡与交换单板之间通过总线(如10GE Base-KR总线)连接，服务单板2中的从CPU与交换单板之间通过总线(如10GE Base-KR总线)连接。
服务单板1作为控制端，服务单板1中的主CPU可基于例如云OS的方式实现对服务单板2中的加速器硬件1～加速器硬件N的控制。服务单板1可以称为主服务单板，即控制单板，服务单板2可以称为从服务单板，一个主服务单板可以通过一个或多个交换单板与多个从服务单板连接，一个从服务单板上可以设置一个或多个加速器硬件；不同的服务单板可以分布在同一物理区域或不同的物理区域中。
每个从CPU可以管理其所在的从服务单板上的多个加速器硬件、裸加速器以及业务加速器，例如，每个从CPU可以向其所在的服务单板上的多个加速器硬件加载业务逻辑功能等；又如，每个从CPU还可以为新生成的裸加速器或新生成的业务加速器分配标识，或删除已生成业务加速器的裸加速器的标识，或删除已生成裸加速器的业务加速器的标识等；再如，每个从CPU还可以向主CPU上报该从CPU所在的单板上的裸加速器的标识以及业务加速器的标识等。
主CPU可以控制每个从CPU管理其所在的服务单板上包含的多个加速器硬件、裸加速器以及业务加速器，例如，主CPU确定每个从CPU何时向哪个加速器硬件加载业务逻辑功能等；另外，主CPU还可以统计并更新每个从CPU上报的裸加速器的标识和业务加速器的标识等。
从逻辑功能上来看，主服务单板(例如图1中的服务单板1)可以称为云端，从服务单板(例如图1中的服务单板2)可以称为加速服务提供端，具体实现时，云端还可以连接一个或多个用户设备(英文全称：user equipment，英文简称：UE)，图1中未示出。
对于用户而言，基于图1所示的硬件架构，能够实现以下功能：用户通过安装在UE上的客户端访问“云(即云端)”，类似于登陆百度云网站等；云端通过控制加速服务提供端为该UE所访问的业务提供加速服务。
需要说明的是，图1所示的硬件只是一种可选的实现方式，具体实现时，服务单板1和服务单板2可以做在一个单板上，即合并为一个服务单板。可以理解的是，若服务单板1与服务单板2合并为一个服务单板，则该服务器单板上可以不包含交换单板，并且可以只包含一个CPU，即不区分主CPU和从CPU；另外，还可以不区分云端和加速服务提供端，该服务单板还可以连接一个或多个UE。如图2所示，是本发明实施例提供的技术方案所适用的一种服务器的硬件架构示意图。图2所示的服务器包括服务单板，该服务单板包含CPU和加速器硬件1～加速器硬件N，其中，N是大于或等于2的整数；示例的，CPU与加速器硬件1～加速器硬件N之间通过PCIe总线连接。
下文中均以图1所示的云服务器的硬件架构为例对本发明实施例提供的技术方案进行示例性地说明。本领域普通技术人员应当能够从基于图1所示的示例，在不付出创造性的劳动下，得到基于图2所示的具体示例。
3)多个，“/”
本申请中的“多个”是指两个或两个以上。例如，多个加速器是指两个或两个以上的加速器。本申请中的字符“/”表示“或”的关系，例如，A/B是指A或者B。
下面结合本发明实施例中的附图，对本发明实施例中的技术方案进行示例性描述，显然，所描述的实施例仅仅是本发明一部分实施例，而不是全部的实施例。基于本发明中的实施例，本领域普通技术人员在没有做出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其他实施例，都属于本发明保护的范围。
如图3所示，是本发明实施例提供的一种配置加速器的方法，应用于包含至少一个裸加速器的服务器中，其中，裸加速器是指为加速器硬件加载了基本逻辑功能之后生成的加速器，基本逻辑功能包括通信接口功能和加载功能，不包括“业务逻辑功能”，即加载了基本逻辑功能的加速器不具备处理业务的功能；该方法可以包括以下步骤S301-S303：
S301：服务器确定目标业务类型和目标裸加速器。
“业务类型”可以是各种媒体相关的业务的类型(如图片、音频、视频等业务类型)，也可以是其他需要加速处理的业务类型；目标业务类型可以是服务器支持的任何一种业务类型。
服务器中可以预先设置一个或多个裸加速器。或者，服务器中可以预先设置一个或多个加速器硬件，然后，通过各个加速器硬件所在的服务单板上的CPU为各个加速器硬件加载基本逻辑功能，从而生成裸加速器；例如，基于图1，可以预先在服务单板2上设 置加速器硬件1～加速器硬件N，然后，通过服务单板2上的从CPU分别为该加速器硬件1～加速器硬件N加载基本逻辑功能，从而生成裸加速器。目标裸加速器可以是服务器自身确定的一个裸加速器，也可以是用户指示的一个裸加速器。
其中，基本逻辑可以被加载到加速器硬件的特定位置上，用以实现通信接口(例如PCIe接口等)功能和加载功能等基本功能。当加速器硬件被加载了通信接口功能之后，其可以作为符合该通信接口协议的设备，并与CPU进行通信。当通信接口是PCIe通信接口时，为裸加速器上电后(即为裸加速器芯片上电后)，该裸加速器在云OS中呈现为一个PCIe设备，其可以通过PCIe通信接口与其所在的服务单板上的CPU之间进行通信。
可选的，服务器通过各个加速器硬件所在的服务单板上的CPU为加速器硬件加载基本逻辑功能的过程可以包括：该CPU扫描其所属的服务单板上的加速器硬件，例如，基于图1，服务单板2上的从CPU扫描加速器硬件1～加速器硬件N，其中，只要一个设备/器件符合PCIe规范，该设备/器件所在的服务单板上的CPU运行其中的与基本输入输出系统(英文全称：basic input output system，英文简称：BIOS)相关的程序，即可扫描到该设备/器件；然后，通过所扫描到的加速器硬件对应的总线设备功能BDF号，确定该加速器硬件对应的驱动，其中，一个PCIe设备对应一个BDF号，一个BDF号对应一个驱动；接着，从CPU执行该驱动，以将该加速器硬件生成一个裸加速器，并为该裸加速器分配标识。其中，裸加速器的标识可以体现一些属性信息，例如BMx表示裸加速器x；本发明实施例对属性信息的所占的字段和类型等信息不进行限定。
服务器中的不同从服务单板中的裸加速器上所加载的基本逻辑功能可以相同也可以不同。例如，服务器中的一个从服务单板上的裸加速器与该从服务单板上的从CPU之间通过PCIe总线连接，该情况下，基本逻辑功能中的通信接口是指PCIe通信接口。本文中均以每个裸加速器上加载的基本逻辑功能相同，并且通信接口均是PCIe通信接口为例进行说明。
S302：服务器确定目标业务类型对应的业务逻辑功能。
服务器中可以预先存储有该服务器支持的一种或多种业务类型，以及每种业务类型对应的业务逻辑功能，优选的，服务器中预先存储该服务器支持的每种业务类型对应的业务逻辑功能。并且，服务器中所存储的业务类型对应的业务逻辑功能可以进行更新，例如，当服务器支持一种新业务时，可以将该新业务的业务类型对应的业务逻辑功能加载至该服务器中。
基于图1，业务逻辑功能可以存储在从服务单板的指定路径的文件夹中。
S303：服务器为目标裸加速器加载目标业务类型对应的业务逻辑功能，生成目标业务加速器，其中，目标业务加速器能够为具有目标业务类型的业务提供加速服务。
基于图1，步骤S301和步骤S302的执行主体可以是服务器中的主CPU，步骤S303的执行主体可以是服务器中的从CPU。基于图2，步骤S301～S303的执行主体可以是服务器中的CPU。
基于图1，从CPU通过PCIe总线将指定路径的文件夹中的目标业务类型对应的业务逻辑功能，加载到目标裸加速器中，生成目标业务加速器。具体的，可以通过目标裸加速器的驱动完成该加载过程。
本发明实施例提供的配置加速器的方法，通过确定目标业务类型和目标裸加速器，从而为目标裸加速器加载目标业务类型对应的业务逻辑功能，生成业务加速器。也就是说，本发明实施例中，当需要为某种业务提供加速服务时，才为该业务配置业务加速器，即按需设置，相比现有技术中预先设置好为每种业务提供加速服务的加速器的技术方案相比，能够提高加速器资源的利用率。
图4是基于图1绘制的，适用于本发明实施例的一种服务器的硬件架构示意图。其中，服务单板2中还包括FPGAx(其中，x代表0，1，2……，FPGAx表示可以有多个FPGA芯片)，用于实现网卡功能和PCIe控制器功能，分别负责硬件加速设备数据平面和控制平面通信；示例的，从CPU与FPGAx之间通过PCIe总线连接，FPGAx与加速器硬件1～加速器硬件N之间通过并行转换器(英文全称：serializer-deserialize，英文简称：serdes)总线连接，FPGAx与交换单板之间通过serdes总线连接。
服务单板1中还包括FPGA；示例的，服务单板1中的FPGA与交换单板之间通过serdes总线连接。
在步骤S303之后，该方法还可以包括：从CPU为目标业务加速器分配标识，然后将目标业务加速器的标识上报给主CPU；其中，该过程可以称为将目标业务加速器注册到云OS的过程。接着，服务器可以通过如图4所示的硬件架构中的通路“主CPU-网卡-FPGA-serdes总线-交换单板-serdes总线-FPGAx-加速器硬件1～加速器硬件N”完成对业务的加速。这样，经过专用硬件通路，而不经过从CPU，实现对业务进行加速，能够加快业务数据的传输速率。
在一种可选的实现方式中，步骤S301可以包括：服务器接收UE发送的目标业务类型，若服务器中没有目标业务类型对应的业务加速器，则服务器从该至少一个裸加速器中选择一个裸加速器作为目标裸加速器。
其中，目标业务类型对应的业务加速器是指，为具有目标类型业务的业务提供加速服务的业务加速器。
在该可选的实现方式中，服务器自主选择目标裸加速器。基于图1，主CPU接收UE发送的目标业务类型，并判断业务加速器的标识构成的集合中是否包含目标业务类型对应的业务加速器，若没有，则在裸加速器的标识构成的集合中选择一个裸加速器的标识作为目标裸加速器的标识。示例的，主CPU可以在裸加速器的标识构成的集合中任意选择一个裸加速器的标识作为目标裸加速器的标识，或者，可以在裸加速器的标识构成的集合中选择与该UE之间的距离小于等于预设值的一个从CPU上报的裸加速器的标识中的一个裸加速器的标识作为目标裸加速器的标识。当然不限于此。
其中，该可选的实现方式中的业务加速器的标识构成的集合可以是部分或所有从CPU上报的业务加速器的标识构成的集合；裸加速器的标识构成的集合可以是部分或所有从CPU上报的裸加速器的标识构成的集合。
另外，若业务加速器的标识构成的集合中包含目标业务类型对应的业务加速器，则服务器可以直接利用该业务加速器为具有目标业务类型的业务提供加速服务，其具体的加速服务的实现方式可以参考现有技术，此处不再赘述。另外，服务器也可以在接收到UE的指示消息的情况下，将业务加速器构成的集合中的一个业务加速器，例如任意一个业务加速器或当前时刻空闲的一个业务加速器或距离该UE较近的服务单板上的一个业务加速器或该指示消息中携带的一个业务加速器等，上所加载的业务逻辑功能卸载，生成裸加速器；接着，重新将该裸加速器生成目标业务加速器。
在另一种可选的实现方式中，步骤S301可以包括：服务器接收用户设备发送的目标业务类型和目标裸加速器的标识。
该可选的实现方式中，由用户指定目标裸加速器。其中，UE可以向用户提供UI，以使得用户向该UE指示目标裸加速器，从而使得该UE向服务器指示该目标裸加速器的标识。
在一种可选的实现方式中，在步骤S303之后，该方法还可以包括：服务器卸载目标业务加速器中所加载的目标业务类型对应的业务逻辑功能，生成裸加速器。
该可选的实现方式，通过卸载业务加速器中所加载的业务逻辑功能，使得该业务加速器生成裸加速器，进一步地，服务器还可以利用上述步骤S301-S303所提供的方法，为该裸加速器加载其他业务类型对应的业务逻辑功能，从而使得一个裸加速器可以在不同时刻为具有不同类型的业务提供加速服务，也就是说，一个物理设备可以配置成支撑 不同业务的加速引擎，从而满足对不同类型的业务进行加速的需求，因此具有很大的灵活性；另外，能够利用较少的加速器硬件，为较多类型的业务提供加速服务，从而节省硬件资源。并且，在加速器硬件个数确定的前提下，能够使得每个加速器硬件得到充分的利用，从而极大的提高了资源的利用率。
示例1：服务器接收UE的指示消息，其中，该指示消息中携带有目标业务加速器的标识，用以指示服务器卸载目标业务加速器中所加载的目标业务类型对应的业务逻辑功能；服务器根据该指示消息卸载目标业务加速器中所加载的目标业务类型对应的业务逻辑功能，生成裸加速器。
基于图1，主CPU接收UE发送的指示消息，该指示消息中携带有目标业务加速器的标识；然后，向该目标业务加速器所在的从服务单板上的从CPU发送该指示消息；接着，该从CPU根据该指示消息卸载目标业务加速器中所加载的目标业务类型对应的业务逻辑功能，生成裸加速器。另外该方法还可以包括：该从CPU删除该目标业务加速器的标识，并为该裸加速器分配标识。
示例2：基于上述步骤301的一种可选的实现方式，若服务器确定业务加速器构成的集合中没有目标业务类型对应的业务加速器，并且裸加速器构成的集合为空，即服务器中不存在裸加速器，则服务器将业务加速器构成的集合中的其中一个业务加速器，例如任意一个业务加速器或当前时刻空闲的一个业务加速器或距离该UE较近的一个服务单板上的一个业务加速器或指示消息中携带的一个业务加速器等，上所加载的业务逻辑功能卸载，生成裸加速器。接着，重新为将该裸加速器生成目标业务类型对应的业务加速器。
可选的，在执行步骤S303之后，该方法还可以包括：服务器为目标业务加速器分配标识，并且删除目标裸加速器的标识。在一种可选的实现方式中，该方法还可以包括：服务器更新裸加速器的标识构成的集合和业务加速器的标识构成的集合中的至少一种。
其中，目标业务加速器的标识可以体现一些属性信息，例如VCx表示音视频业务对应的业务加速器；本发明实施例对属性信息的所占的字段和类型等信息不进行限定。
基于图1，裸加速器所在的从服务单板上的从CPU生成目标业务加速器之后，该从CPU可以为目标业务加速器分配标识，并删除目标裸加速器的标识；然后，该从CPU向主CPU发送第一指示消息和第二指示消息，其中，第一指示消息中包含目标业务加速器的标识，用以使主CPU在业务加速器的标识构成的集合中增加目标业务加速器的标识；第二指示消息中包含目标裸加速器的标识，用以使主CPU在裸加速器的标识构成的集合中删除目 标业务加速器的标识。具体实现时，第一指示消息和第二指示消息可以合并为同一条指示消息，从而减少信令交互。主CPU启动热插拔，从而更新裸加速器构成的集合和业务加速器构成的集合。其中，热插拔是云OS的一个软件功能，用以更新裸加速器构成的集合和业务加速器构成的集合。具体实现时，主CPU可以周期性或触发性地启动热插拔。
其中，裸加速器的标识构成的集合和业务加速器的标识构成的集合中的至少一种可以以表格、列表或其组合等任一种方式被存储在服务器中。
在一种可选的实现方式中，该方法还可以包括：服务器向UE发送裸加速器的标识构成的集合和业务加速器的标识构成的集合中的至少一种。
其中，该UE可以是向服务器请求加速服务的任一个UE。
基于图1，主CPU向UE发送裸加速器的标识构成的集合和业务加速器的标识构成的集合中的至少一种。该可选的实现方式能够使UE获知服务器中的裸加速器的标识构成的集合和业务加速器的标识构成的集合，从而可以使用户自主选择对目标裸加速器或目标业务加速器。
在一种可选的实现方式中，该方法还可以包括：服务器显示裸加速器的标识构成的集合和业务加速器的标识构成的集合中的至少一种。
基于图1，主CPU所在的主服务单板(或服务器)可以通过用户界面(英文全称：user interface，英文简称：UI)显示裸加速器的标识构成的集合和业务加速器的标识构成的集合中的至少一种。其中，这里的裸加速器的标识构成的集合可以是部分或所有从CPU所在的服务单板上的裸加速器的标识构成的集合，业务加速器的标识可以是部分或所有从CPU所在的服务单板上的业务加速器的标识构成的集合。另外，从CPU所在的从服务单板(或服务器)页可以通过UI显示该从服务单板上的裸加速器的标识构成的集合和业务加速器的标识构成的集合中的至少一种。
该可选的实现方式可以应用于以下场景中：管理员通过向服务器输入云OS命令，以查看裸加速器的标识构成的集合和业务加速器的标识构成的集合中的至少一种；服务器根据该云OS命令，显示裸加速器的标识构成的集合和业务加速器的标识构成的集合中的至少一种。
