Method for acquiring monitoring information of computer system structure based on NUMA (Non Uniform Memory Access)

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for acquiring monitoring information of a computer system structure based on NUMA (Non Uniform Memory Access). The method comprises the following steps: constructing an interface function module of a Nios II soft-core processor by utilizing FPGA programmable logic resources and an IP soft core; constructing a Nios II soft-core system by using Qsys in Quartus II software, and adding the Nios II soft-core processor, an I2C master equipment interface module, an I2C slave equipment interface module and other IP cores; acquiring the monitoring information through the I2C master equipment interface module, processing the monitoring information by virtue of the Nios II soft-core processor, and transmitting the processed information to the I2C slave equipment interface module; and accessing the I2C slave equipment interface module to acquire hardware monitoring information by using BMC. According to the method, the hardware monitoring information of the system is acquired in a unified mode by virtue of the FPGA, the integration level of the system is improved, and the design of an external hardware circuit is simplified; and moreover, the hardware information can be independently monitored without influence by the BMC under the multiple physical layer partitions in the system, and the stability and real-time property of the system are improved.

Description

[0001] technical field [0002] The present invention relates to the field of computer technology, specifically a monitoring information collection method based on NUMA computer architecture. Background technique [0003] At present, large-scale multi-processor server systems usually have more processors, memory, storage, and IO resources, and have powerful computing capabilities. In practical applications, these resources need to be integrated and utilized. The characteristic of the multi-physical partition computer architecture of NUMA (Non Uniform Memory Access Architecture, non-uniform memory access architecture) is that the computer can be divided into multiple independent multi-processing systems, and these divided computer systems can also be coupled into one a complete computer system. When splitting or re-coupling the entire system, the key parameters of the system, including hardware information such as voltage and temperature, will change. Most of the external ha...

Problems solved by technology

When splitting or re-coupling the entire system, the key parameters of the system, including hardware information such as voltage and temperature, will change. Most of the external hardware information collection interfaces are based on the I2C bus interface. In order to realize the monitoring changes of the monitoring system, it is necessary to realize coupling acquisition and separate acquisition of key hardware information. Neither BMC nor general control chips can provide multiple sets of I2C bus interfaces and multi-buffer storage areas to store hardware monitoring information.
