The invention provides a kind of can the noise that produces of the processing power of coprocessor and the rotation of radiator fan, the heat dissipation system for computers of maximal comfort is provided to user.Cooling system comprises the variable processor of processing power (11).Radiator fan (33) and temperature sensor (31) are arranged in the casing of computing machine.The mensuration temperature of rotational speed configuration part (63) measured by threshold temperature and temperature sensor, changes the rotational speed of radiator fan by stages.Properties Control portion (105,107) makes the processing power of processor reduce according to mensuration temperature and threshold temperature, processes within the follow-up time period to a part for the operation that processor should process.As a result, the peak value of mensuration temperature can be made to move to the follow-up time period, suppress the rotational speed of radiator fan to rise.
The present invention relates to the technology that the temperature in the casing of the computing machine possessing radiator fan is managed, in more detail, relate to and coordinate the noise of radiator fan and the processing power of processor to manage the technology of temperature.
Notebook personal computer (hereinafter referred to as notebook PC) is provided with a large amount of electronic equipment such as CPU, video card, PC card to high-density at casing internal.These electronic equipments generate heat along with the work of notebook PC, and the temperature of electronic equipment itself and casing internal rises.Main electronic equipment chip internal or near be provided with and monitor the temperature sensor of temperature, the temperature recorded for temperature sensor sets threshold value.
Being provided with in notebook PC, for when the temperature of temperature sensor measurement rises, being exhausted by extraneous air being taken into casing internal the radiator fan or cooling fan that externally dispel the heat.Radiator fan, by with multiple stage control rotational speed, can adjust heat dissipation capacity.Adjust the rotational speed of radiator fan as follows: increase rotational speed when the mensuration temperature recorded by temperature sensor exceedes threshold value, when lower than threshold value, reduce rotational speed.Now between adjacent rotational speed, when controlling rotational speed by 1 threshold value in upper and lower both direction, the rotational speed frequent variations of radiator fan and become ear-piercing, therefore makes it have sluggishness (hysteresis) characteristic usually.That is, notebook PC carries out following control, when the temperature of temperature sensor exceedes threshold temperature Th1, rotational speed is improved one-level, when lower than threshold temperature Th2 (Th2 < Th1), rotational speed is restored.
Be installed in the electronic equipment in notebook PC, the thermal value of CPU is maximum.Known clock speed and operating voltage by reducing CPU reduces SpeedStep (registered trademark) technology of consumed power.And, be also known as reduction consumed power and made CPU intermittently used throttling (Throttling) technology.The processing power of CPU can be made to reduce by any one technology and reduce thermal value.In addition, in the standard of ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface), about the heat radiation of computer system, define active refrigeration mode and these two kinds of modes of passive refrigeration modes are distinguished.
In active refrigeration mode, when the temperature of computing machine starts to rise, make radiator fan work at first, even if reach maximum rotative speed at radiator fan, when temperature still continues to rise, reduce the processing power of CPU.In passive refrigeration modes, when the temperature of computing machine starts to rise, the initial processing power reducing CPU, even if be reduced to minimum in the processing power of CPU, when temperature still continues to rise, makes radiator fan work.Active refrigeration mode is the preferential scheme of processing power, and passive refrigeration modes is the scheme of the noise preferentially suppressing the increase of consumed power and suppress radiator fan.
The disclosure of the invention of patent documentation 1, the technology of problem when solving this two kinds of types of cooling of rotation of reduction and the electric fan that there is the operating rate of CPU.Describe in the publication, when adopting the method for the operating rate reducing CPU, the serviceability that there is computing machine runs counter to the intention of user and automatically reduces, thus cause the problems such as environment for use deterioration, on the other hand, when adopting the method making electric fan rotate, exist due to the larger power of this electric fan consumption, therefore the problem such as battery operable time shortening of portable computer.
In the type of cooling of patent documentation 1, in portable computer, be provided with the operating rate of reduction CPU and make electric fan rotate this two kinds of refrigerating functions, the setting of the refrigerating mode that can carry out according to user, optionally using described two kinds of refrigerating functions.That is, when user have selected Quite pattern, becoming the pattern that low consumpting power for extending battery working time is preferential, making electric fan non rotating, only reducing the operating rate of CPU.On the other hand, when user have selected Performance pattern, become the pattern of performance priority, do not reduce the operating rate of CPU, rotate by means of only making electric fan and cool.
The disclosure of the invention of patent documentation 2 technology of the following problem of solution: in notebook PC, when temperature sensor is subject to not being monitored object but neighbouring electronic equipment thermal-radiating affects, under the cooling for the electronic equipment becoming object is not effective condition, cooling fan is rotated, or make rotating speed increase, cause unnecessary noise and power consumption.In the cooling system of patent documentation 2, when certain electronic equipment works under load condition, carry out the action of controlled cooling model fan according to the reference set value set in hot action schedule.When this electronic equipment is idle condition, the heat radiation according to considering from other electronic equipment carries out to the reference set value of hot action schedule the work that revised correction temperature value carrys out controlled cooling model fan.Thus, cooling fan can not carry out becoming supercooled work due to the rising of thermal-radiating impact or environment temperature.
User wishes that notebook PC has the processing power of end operation at short notice, also wishes not worried by the noise of radiator fan quietness simultaneously.If reduction processing power, then thermal value declines, even if therefore radiator fan carries out work with low rotational speed, within also temperature can being maintained preset range, so can meet the requirement of quietness.On the other hand, if improve processing power, then thermal value increases, and therefore in order to holding temperature needs to make radiator fan carry out work with high rotation speed, therefore cannot meet the requirement of quietness.So processing power and quietness are intervened the temperature of casing internal and become compromise key element.
The standard of ACPI and the heat dissipating method shown in patent documentation 1, give priority in advance to processing power mode of priority and quietness mode of priority, perform in order, or perform one party according to the selection of user.Namely, up to the present a certain mode in processing power mode of priority or quietness mode of priority is alternatively performed, or when can not fully suppress temperature to rise by means of only a kind of mode, while the function playing the radiating mode first performed to greatest extent, add and perform another radiating mode.
When utilizing notebook PC with conversational mode, almost there is no the state that simultaneously must perform processing power mode of priority and quietness mode of priority, therefore most cases only perform a certain mode just can the thermal design of holding temperature.But now, when being dispelled the heat by processing power mode of priority, the noise from radiator fan makes people vexed, in addition, when being dispelled the heat by quietness mode of priority, processing power Shortcomings, may not make user meet.The maximal comfort of known user is that cooling system plays a role in the scope that processing power and quietness are coordinated mutually, expects the cooling system can tackling the maximal comfort of user.

[patent documentation 2] JP 2007-226617 publication
Therefore, the object of the invention is to, provide a kind of can the processing power of coprocessor and the noise of radiator fan, give the computing machine cooling system of user's maximal comfort.And, the object of the present invention is to provide one can reduce processing power in MIN scope, reduce the computing machine cooling system of the noise of radiator fan simultaneously.And, the object of the present invention is to provide the heat dissipating method in the computing machine and such cooling system using such cooling system and computer program.
By radiator fan to holding in the thermal design of the cooling system that heat that electronic equipment in a computer sends dispels the heat, when CPU is idle condition, the rotational speed of radiator fan be set as minimum or make it stop, rise in the utilization rate of CPU, when thermal value rises, improve the rotational speed of radiator fan by stages, make heat dissipation capacity and thermal value balance, casing internal is maintained predetermined temperature.When user operates, the mensuration temperature that temperature sensor records changes according to the operating state of system, and radiator fan carries out work by the rotational speed determined according to the threshold temperature for mensuration temperature.When there is lagging characteristics in the control of the rotational speed of radiator fan, in previous example, exceed threshold temperature Th1 once mensuration temperature and rise, the rotational speed of radiator fan rises, in mensuration temperature lower than threshold temperature Th2, rotational speed spends the long time before declining.
But, not server computing machine, but towards in the computing machine (hereinafter referred to as computing machine) of individual, when monitoring the change of mensuration temperature when being applied with general load, continue for a long time to be measured to and make the rotational speed of current radiator fan improve 1 grade of such high temperature to be rare, can to confirm that the state needing CPU to carry out work with higher processing power sporadically occurs.When measuring temperature decline after rotational speed rises, between threshold temperature Th1 and threshold temperature Th2, although can rotational speed be reduced in thermal equilibrium, but radiator fan still rotates with the rotational speed of high 1 grade, therefore, produce between the heat dissipation capacity and the thermal value of reality of the rotational speed of the reality based on radiator fan and depart from.Also known when the temperature short time exceedes threshold temperature Th1 in addition, preferentially improve compared with the rotational speed of radiator fan with making processing power, by making quietness preferential, the interim processing power that reduces maintains lower rotational speed, and the comfort level of user is better.
Ultimate principle of the present invention is, for the viewpoint making the comfort level of user reach best, the processing power coordinating the processor relevant to the processing time and the rotational speed of radiator fan of being correlated with noise such, the key element that two of intervention temperature are compromise.In mode of the present invention, contain radiator fan, temperature sensor and processor in the casing of computing machine, the mensuration temperature of rotational speed configuration part measured by threshold temperature and temperature sensor, changes the rotational speed of radiator fan by stages.Properties Control portion, exceedes threshold temperature in the given time predicting the mensuration temperature that temperature sensor records, when the rotational speed of radiator fan rises, temporarily reduces the processing power of processor.
When the processing power of processor reduces, thermal value reduces.When computing machine is performing conversational process, the situation that processor continues to carry out work in high load condition exists hardly, and the state that the thermal value of processor is high is temporary, and therefore processor is becoming light-load state after heavy duty state.Processor, in the heavy duty time period, because processing power reduces, does not reduce if therefore cannot process processing power, a part for manageable operation.This cannot process and remaining part operation becomes the state waiting for that processor performs, or because the execution of script operation not long ago postpones, therefore also do not become the request that perform, processor processes it in the follow-up underloaded time period on the horizon.Therefore, a part for the operation processed in the time period should reduced in processing power, move in the follow-up operational ton less time period, can eliminate or reduce the peak value of the thermal value of processor.So, by the reduction of processing power, operational ton is reduced self, and measuring temperature can not exceed threshold temperature, does not need the rotational speed improving radiator fan.
Can by according to the ascending velocity of current mensuration temperature, current mensuration temperature and threshold temperature, the processing power configuration part of the temperature prediction portion of the predicted time till the temperature calculating temperature sensor measurement exceedes threshold temperature and the processing power that changes processor according to predicted time forms performance control part.Processing power configuration part performs the reduction of current processing power, maintenance or a certain in increasing according to predicted time, thus can while making mensuration temperature be no more than threshold temperature, make the reducing amount of processing power minimum, that is, performance can be made to reach maximum.The reducing amount of processing power can be decided in processing power configuration part according to the utilization rate of processor when predicted time and prediction.
Processing power configuration part, can generate the correction predicted time after according to the utilization rate correction predicted time of processor during prediction, make processing power change least unit amount according to correction predicted time.When making processing power change least unit amount, the sense of discomfort to user can be alleviated.The reducing amount of processing power can be decided in processing power configuration part according to the utilization rate of predicted time and processor.When long-time continue to reduce processing power time, concerning the delay that cannot allow user to operate.In this case, the delay degree of operation can be measured as performance characteristic value by performance judgment portion.Time during can reducing than conventional sense according to processing power and the reducing amount of processing power carry out calculated performance characteristic value.Performance judgment portion issues performance priority order according to performance characteristic value to processing power configuration part.Processing power configuration part, when obtaining performance priority order, makes the processing power of processor recover conventional sense, or reduces the reducing amount of current processing power further.
In the reduction of the processing power of processor, if the moment that user can make this processing power increase according to performance characteristic value adjustment, then can realize the optimization process ability corresponding with the individual character of user or mode of operation and the coordination of quietness.Rotational speed is changed by stages according to threshold temperature in rotational speed configuration part, temperature prediction portion and processing power configuration part, even if play a role similarly under the new rotational speed after change.According to cooling system of the present invention, when the rotation that the mode by having lagging characteristics sets radiator fan controls, in thermal equilibrium, become the chance minimizing that overcooled state occurs.
By the present invention, providing can the processing power of coprocessor and the noise of radiator fan, provides the computing machine cooling system of maximal comfort to user.And, according to the present invention, can provide and can reduce processing power within the scope of bottom line, reduce the computing machine cooling system of the noise of radiator fan simultaneously.And, according to the present invention, the heat dissipating method in the computing machine and such cooling system that have employed such cooling system and computer program can be provided.

Fig. 3 illustrates a part for the structure of TAT60.TAT60 describes the reference temperature value for changing the operating state of radiator fan 33 between Ultra-Low Speed rotation, low speed rotation, middling speed rotation, High Rotation Speed for each electronic equipment.Reference temperature value is formed by for the allowable temperature of each operating state and forbidding temperature, defines lagging characteristics between situation about change to ascent direction in rotational speed and situation about changing to descent direction.Allowable temperature LTe, MTe, HTe, be when the mensuration temperature of temperature sensor is in ascendant trend, radiator fan 33 transfers to the temperature value of this operating state from the operating state of slow 1 grade of rotational speed.Forbidding temperature LTd, MTd, HTd, be when the mensuration temperature of temperature sensor is in downtrending, the temperature value of the operating state of slow 1 grade of rotational speed transferred to by radiator fan 33 from this operating state.
Suppose that corresponding to CPU11 and electronic equipment A ~ D is provided with temperature sensor 11T to 19T respectively.In addition, in notebook PC10, not only at the position set temperature sensor corresponding with electronic equipment, also temperature sensor is provided with in the position corresponding with the surface of system chassis 3.The reference temperature value set corresponding to each temperature sensor 31 is configured to, when each electronic equipment and to its each temperature sensor actual installation monitored when the inside of system chassis 13, make radiator fan 33 carry out work with alap rotational speed, be no more than predetermined value with the surface temperature of the predetermined location making system chassis 3.And reference temperature value is configured to, for making each electronic equipment be no more than critical temperature, radiator fan 33 is made to carry out work with suitable rotational speed.When electronic equipment exceedes critical temperature and rises, notebook PC10 quits work, or transfers to suspended state or dormant state.
EC27 is when the mensuration temperature measured by certain temperature sensor 31 reaches the allowable temperature to the setting of monitored object electronic equipment, the rotational speed of radiator fan 33 is made to rise 1 grade, when the mensuration temperature measured by whole temperature sensor 31 drops to below the forbidding temperature to the setting of monitored object electronic equipment, the rotational speed of radiator fan 33 is made to decline 1 grade.Specifically, when the temperature of casing internal rises, when the mensuration temperature of certain temperature sensor 31 reaches the allowable temperature LTe of low speed rotation, radiator fan 33 carrys out work with low speed rotation, when reaching the allowable temperature LTe that middling speed rotates, rotate work with middling speed, and then when reaching the allowable temperature HTe of High Rotation Speed, transferring with high-speed rotary and carrying out work.
Carrying out the state of High Rotation Speed from radiator fan 33, the load of notebook PC10 reduces, when mensuration temperature measured by each temperature sensor 31 reduces, radiator fan 33 is when the mensuration temperature of whole temperature sensor 31 reaches the forbidding temperature HTd of High Rotation Speed, transfer to middling speed to rotate, transferring to low speed rotation when reaching the forbidding temperature MTd that middling speed rotates, transferring to Ultra-Low Speed when reaching the forbidding temperature LTd of low speed rotation and rotating.
Fig. 4 represents the rotational speed of the radiator fan 33 when EC27 controls the rotational speed of radiator fan 33 according to such TAT60 and the mensuration temperature measured by temperature sensor 11T.In Fig. 4 (A), Fig. 4 (B), the longitudinal axis represents the mensuration temperature measured by temperature sensor 11T be embedded in CPU11, and transverse axis represents the elapsed time.At this, illustrate in multiple temperature sensor, temperature sensor 11T arranges the situation during action of radiator fan 33.Line 61 represents the change of mensuration temperature when making CPU11 perform test procedure.
In Fig. 4 (A), the time period between moment t1-t2, between moment t3-t4, between moment t5-t6, the rotational speed of radiator fan 33 becomes middling speed and rotates, and becomes low speed rotation in section At All Other Times.The line 63 of Fig. 4 (B) represents makes CPU11 perform the test procedure identical with the situation of Fig. 4 (A), the change of the mensuration temperature when maximum operation frequency of CPU being fixed on 1/3 of conventional sense.The frequency of operation of CPU11 and operating voltage reduce, and the direction that line 63 reduces to temperature relative to line 61 is moved.In Fig. 4 (B), between moment t7-t8, the rotational speed of radiator fan 33 becomes middling speed and rotates, and becomes low speed rotation in section At All Other Times.
When verifying the duty of the change of such mensuration temperature and radiator fan, different from the situation that CPU11 performs complicated technique computes or the heavier program of image procossing even load, under the using state of routine using notebook PC10 with dialogic operation, the state that mensuration temperature exceedes allowable temperature MTe is temporary, can't be permanent lasting, and between moment t9 and t4 of Fig. 4 (A) etc., due to the lagging characteristics of fan control, in thermal equilibrium, although radiator fan 33 can low speed rotation, but still rotate with middling speed and carry out work and become supercooling state.Supercooling state becomes the reason producing unnecessary noise and consumed power loss.
In addition, when making frequency of operation be reduced to 1/3 in Fig. 4 (B), known only between moment t7-t8 radiator fan 33 become middling speed rotate, compared with the situation of Fig. 4 (A), middling speed shortens during rotating, but do not have in influential multiple time period in the rising of mensuration temperature to the rotational speed of radiator fan 33, frequency of operation reduces.The cooling system of present embodiment utilizes owing to using notebook PC10 to cause the febrile state of CPU11 to carry out the feature of passing routinely, alleviate and produce unnecessary noise from radiator fan 33 and alleviate the loss of consumed power, and do not make the frequency of operation of CPU11 reduce more than necessary degree.
Fig. 5 is the block diagram of the structure of the cooling system representing present embodiment.The major part of cooling system is made up of the radiating control program 100 performed by CPU11 and the program that performed by EC27 in the past.Radiating control program 100 is the application programs run on OS, forms function by customer interface portion 101, performance judgment portion 103, temperature prediction portion 105 and processing power configuration part 107.In fact each functional block forming radiating control program 100 realizes as the complex function of the software and hardwares such as radiating control program, OS, primary memory 15 and CPU11.
Temperature prediction portion 105 obtains the temperature information that each temperature sensor 31 records termly from the temperature measuring portion 61 of EC27, the speed risen for each temperature information accounting temperature or acceleration.In addition, the speed later temperature risen or acceleration are generically and collectively referred to as rate of rise in temperature.Temperature prediction portion 105 have comprise in TAT60 allowable temperature HTe, MTe, LTe.Current mensuration temperature, allowable temperature and the rate of rise in temperature of temperature prediction portion 105 measured by each temperature sensor 31, when supposing that the rate of rise in temperature in this moment continues, calculate until the mensuration temperature relevant to certain temperature sensor 31 exceedes allowable temperature HTe, the time of MTe, LTe is used as predicted time, notify to processing power configuration part 107.
Measure temperature rising and mean that the thermal value of CPU11 is larger than the heat dissipation capacity of radiator fan 33.Further, when when reducing the processing power of the CPU11 that temperature rises sometime, the temperature that the thermal equilibrium measuring the thermal value of the CPU11 of temperature convergence after being reduced by processing power and the heat dissipation capacity of radiator fan 33 determines.Therefore, after reduction processing power, measuring temperature can not sharply reduce immediately, during before reaching convergence temperature, for making mensuration temperature be no more than allowable temperature, needs to reduce processing power.
The utilization rate of the nearest CPU11 that processing power configuration part 107 obtains according to the utilization rate measuring instrument 67 from OS, revises the predicted temperature obtained from temperature prediction portion 105, generates new predicted temperature.According to Figure 10 (A), situation is now described.In Figure 10 (A), illustrate the predicted time tp of moment t0, revise predicted time tc and the threshold time tt1 for correction predicted time tc.Suppose that the rate of rise in temperature of moment t0 continues to come the predicted time tp of accounting temperature prediction section 105 generation, but when the utilization rate of the CPU11 of moment t0 is low, after moment t0, utilization rate rises, measure temperature and reach allowable temperature MTe within predicted time tp, the rotational speed of radiator fan 33 likely rises, and therefore wishes by utilization rate correction predicted time tp.
In Figure 10 (A), line 81 represents at moment t0, mensuration temperature reaches the predicted time tp before the allowable temperature MTe calculated according to the rate of rise in temperature of moment t0, and line 83 represents the correction predicted time tc obtained according to the utilization rate correction predicted time tp of moment t0.Revising predicted time tc, is the utilization rate by considering predicted time tp during prediction, can ensure to measure the time that temperature can not reach allowable temperature MTe within the time shorter than it.
When to revise the predicted time tc utilization rate such as when predicting be 100%, the value equal with predicted time tp can be become, when utilization rate is X%, can becomes and on predicted time tp, be multiplied by utilization rate X% and the value that obtains.Now, by making performance rate decline as 1 grade of least unit, correction predicted time tc being increased to exceed threshold time tt1, determining while allowable temperature MTe can be no more than to measure temperature.As a result, processing power configuration part 107 when revising predicted time tc and becoming below threshold time tt1, by performance rate is reduced by 1 grade, within mensuration temperature can being maintained allowable temperature MTe.Specifically, when the performance rate of moment t0 is 100%, 50%, 75%, 25% is reduced to respectively.When making performance rate reduce as least unit 1 grade, the sense of discomfort that user can be made to feel for the reduction of processing power is minimum.
Different with it, processing power configuration part 107 is when predicted time tp becomes predetermined below threshold time tt2, the progression of performance rate can also be made to reduce more than n (n > 1), mensuration temperature is maintained below allowable temperature MTe.According to Figure 10 (B), this situation is described.The line 85 of Figure 10 (B) is identical with the line 81 of Figure 10 (A), represents when moment t0 mensuration temperature is T1, when supposing that the rate of rise in temperature of moment t0 continues, and the predicted time tp before reaching allowable temperature MTe.Because predicted time tp does not consider utilization rate, therefore, suppose likely to reach allowable temperature MTe in the time more Zao than predicted time tp less than mensuration temperature when reducing processing power according to utilization rate during prediction.
Now by increasing the progression reduced, the effect that larger suppression temperature rises can be obtained.But the progression increasing reduction on the degree of necessity can waste the performance of original CPU11, therefore undesirable.In order to reduce performance rate within the scope of the Min. of necessity, processing power configuration part 107, according to the utilization rate of the CPU11 of the moment t0 of computational prediction time tp, determines the progression reduced.Namely, when the utilization rate height of the CPU11 of the moment t0 of computational prediction time tp, the possibility reaching allowable temperature MTe with the time shorter than predicted time tp due to temperature is low, therefore reducing by 1 grade makes performance rate become 75%, when the utilization rate of CPU11 is low, the possibility reaching allowable temperature with the time shorter than predicted time due to temperature is higher, therefore can reduce by 2 grades or 3 grades and make performance rate become 50%, 25%.When Figure 10 (B), compared with the situation of Figure 10 (A), mensuration temperature during reduction performance rate is close to allowable temperature MTe, the frequency reducing performance rate reduces, but because progression when reducing is sometimes more than 2 grades, therefore user feels that the possibility that processing power reduces raises.
Under any circumstance, processing power configuration part 107 is at the predicted time tp relevant to whole temperature sensor obtained from temperature prediction portion 105 more than certain value or when not meaning that special reservation value that temperature rises, judge radiator fan 33 in the gamut of system chassis 3 heat dissipation capacity and from electronic equipment thermal value balance or heat dissipation capacity more, measure temperature to reduce, performance rate is improved 1 grade.In addition, processing power configuration part 107 is being judged not need to reduce processing power according to correction predicted time tc or predicted time tp, and when judging also not need to increase processing power, maintains performance rate so far.So, the utilization rate of the current CPU11 that processing power configuration part 107 obtains according to the utilization rate measuring instrument 67 from OS and the predicted time tp obtained from temperature prediction portion 105, judge whether to need to change current performance rate to change performance rate to increase direction or reduction direction, when not changing, maintain performance rate now.
Processing power configuration part 107 is when changing performance rate, and via power management driver, in system bios, write is used for the setting value of the performance rate performed in the register of CPU11.Mensuration temperature is maintained by processing power configuration part 107 process of below allowable temperature according to predicted temperature, be called adjusting performance process.In addition, the non-essential utilization rate using CPU11 in adjusting performance process.
Each temperature that processing power configuration part 107 records according to each temperature sensor 31, judge whether to need to change current performance rate to increase direction or reduction direction, when the mensuration temperature about certain temperature sensor is judged as changing performance rate to reduction direction, reduce performance rate, in addition, when the mensuration temperature about whole temperature sensor is judged as changing performance rate to increase direction, increase performance rate.Customer interface portion 101 provides setting screen by LCD19 to user, to adjust the equilibrium position of carrying out processing power and the quietness changed according to the individual character of each user or operating conditions now, makes user obtain maximum comfort level.
Performance judgment portion 103, from the moment that processing power configuration part 107 starts to carry out adjusting performance process at first, starts calculated performance characteristic value.Performance characteristic value is the value after the delay degree in the processing time of carrying out during adjusting performance process being quantized.Can according to reducing duration these two of sum of series adjusting performance process of processing power because of usually calculated performance characteristic value.Such as, when the time that CPU11 carries out work being set to ty in each performance rate Pn, calculated performance characteristic value Pf can be carried out by Pf=∑ (100-Pn) × ty.Fig. 9 represents the calculated example of performance characteristic value.Processing power reduces larger, and the duration is longer in addition, and performance characteristic value more becomes large value, the delay in reflection processing time.
Performance judgment portion 103, when performance characteristic value reaches predetermined threshold value, sends the performance priority order for making the rotational speed of radiator fan 33 rise to processing power configuration part 103.Performance judgment portion 103 is when obtaining the notice that rotational speed has increased from rotational speed configuration part 63 by processing power configuration part 107, the calculating of performance characteristic value is resetted, then restart calculated performance characteristic value in the moment starting to carry out adjusting performance process, similarly generate performance preemption command.And, performance judgment portion 103 is when obtaining expression CPU11 and carry out the time remaining of the work information of the schedule time under conventional sense from processing power configuration part 107, the calculating of performance characteristic value is resetted, then again start calculated performance characteristic value in the moment starting to carry out adjusting performance process, similarly generate performance preemption command.This is because consider when the schedule time is interrupted in adjusting performance process, even if reset to the calculating of performance characteristic value, also can not impact the comfort level of user.
The setting screen that can be provided by customer interface portion 101, is set by the user the threshold value for performance characteristic value.User is for current adjusting performance process, when wanting to make performance more preferential, can reduce threshold value makes adjusting performance process terminate earlier, when wanting to make quietness more preferential, can improve during threshold value makes adjusting performance process and continuing longlyer.Customer interface portion 101 sends to performance judgment portion 103 the threshold value that user sets.RTC65 is the real-time clock installed in notebook PC10, to performance detection unit 103 service time information.
Processing power configuration part 107, when obtaining performance priority order from performance judgment portion 103, interruption performance adjustment process, makes performance rate now return to maximum 100%.If the load of CPU11 does not change, then measure temperature and be about to exceed allowable temperature, therefore, the rotational speed configuration part 63 of EC27 makes rotational speed increase by 1 grade.Processing power configuration part 107, when obtaining the notice obtaining rotational speed rising after performance priority order from rotational speed configuration part 63, resetting to performance priority order, again carrying out adjusting performance process under the rotational speed after rising.In addition, when interruption performance adjustment process makes performance rate recover, not necessarily need to make it return to 100% as described above, when thermal value is now relatively large, the adjustment such as grade being 25% so far being returned to 75% can be carried out.Thus, the temperature sharply can tackling the allowable temperature (such as HTe) exceeded without a break at short notice under next rotational speed of increase by 1 grade rises.
The temperature measuring portion 61 of EC27 is transformed to the signal obtained from each temperature sensor 31 temperature value of numeral.Temperature value is transmitted to temperature prediction portion 105 and rotational speed configuration part 63 in temperature measuring portion 61.Rotational speed configuration part 63, according to the temperature value obtained from temperature measuring portion 61 and the threshold value set in TAT60, sends signal to radiator fan driving circuit 29, controls the rotational speed of radiator fan 33.Radiator fan 33, under the control of radiator fan driving circuit 29, carries out work with predetermined rotational speed.So, EC27 controls the process of the rotational speed of radiator fan 33 according to the mensuration temperature that temperature sensor 31 records, and is called heat dissipation capacity adjustment process.
Radiating control program 100 performance rate formed by changing CPU11 makes heat dissipation capacity change the temperature control structure of the performance system of the internal temperature carrying out control system casing 3.On the other hand, the rotational speed of the adjusting thresholds radiator fan 33 of temperature that EC27 records according to temperature sensor 31 and TAT60 is formed, the temperature control structure of the pressure cooling system of the internal temperature of control system casing 3 thus.The radiating control program 100 forming performance system is performed by CPU11, is therefore still likely subject to the impact of other program that CPU11 performs and action temporarily becomes unstable.Form the temperature measuring portion 61 of pressure cooling system, rotational speed configuration part 63 and TAT60 to be made up of the firmware of EC27, play a role independent of CPU11.
Namely, pressure cooling system and adjusting performance process have nothing to do, only control radiator fan driving circuit 29 according to the value of temperature sensor 31 and TAT60, therefore, even if due to any reason, the work of performance system becomes unstable temporarily, also the temperature of system chassis 3 can be maintained in safe range.In addition, radiating control program 100 is programs that CPU11 performs, and therefore can easily revise, and because of being the structure of overlapping level in pressure cooling system, does not therefore need to change pressure cooling system.
Fig. 6 represents that the cooling system be made up of performance system and these two temperature control structure of pressure cooling system shown in Fig. 5 controls the process flow diagram of the step of the temperature in the system chassis 3 of notebook PC10.In block 201, radiator fan 33 is rotated with certain rotational speed by the heat dissipation capacity adjustment process of pressure cooling system.When radiator fan 33 carries out High Rotation Speed, rotational speed does not rise further, but temperature when system can also be become shutdown is as threshold temperature to carry out adjusting performance process.Temperature prediction portion 105 obtains the temperature value measured by each temperature sensor 31 termly from temperature measuring portion 61, such as each be that the certain hour in 2 seconds calculates and measures the predicted time in moment, then inform processing power configuration part 107.
Processing power configuration part 107 obtains the information relevant to current rotational speed from rotational speed configuration part 63, execution performance adjustment process.CPU11 performs the program of being specified by user and the program determined by system, carries out the heating of the amount determined by performance rate and utilization rate.Processing power configuration part 107, when judging to need to reduce processing power in block 203, adopts certain method illustrated with reference to Figure 10 to reduce performance rate in block 205.When processing power configuration part 107 is judged to need to increase processing power in block 207, in block 209, increase performance rate.Performance judgment portion 103 judges in block 211 whether performance characteristic value has exceeded threshold value, when having exceeded threshold value, in block 213, makes CPU11 return to conventional sense.
In block 215 and block 217, pressure cooling system, independent of performance system, performs heat dissipation capacity adjustment process according to the mensuration temperature that temperature sensor 31 records.Then, when the allowable temperature of the mensuration temperature measured by certain temperature sensor 31 more than TAT60, in block 219, make the rotational speed of radiator fan 33 rise 1 grade, when the forbidding temperature of the mensuration temperature measured by whole temperature sensor 31 lower than TAT60, in block 221, the rotational speed of radiator fan 33 is made to decline 1 grade.After block 217,219,221, return block 203, performance system starts adjusting performance process according to the allowable temperature relevant to new rotational speed.
Fig. 7 represents an example of adjusting performance process when performing the step of Fig. 6.In Fig. 7, transverse axis is through the time, and the longitudinal axis is the mensuration temperature that the temperature sensor 11T be embedded in CPU11 represents.In the figure 7, adjusting performance process is carried out from moment t0 to moment t9.During this period, processing power configuration part 107 is judged to need judgement when reducing performance rate to be arranged by temperature sensor 11T.Before moment t0, radiator fan 33 carries out work with low speed rotation, does not carry out adjusting performance process, and CPU11 carries out work under conventional sense, but be broken from the thermal equilibrium of the heat dissipation capacity under the thermal value of CPU11 and low speed rotation, the mensuration temperature of temperature sensor 11T rises.
At moment t0, the temperature T0 that temperature prediction portion 105 calculates moment t0 reaches the time before the moment t0x of allowable temperature MTe, is used as predicted time tf0.The utilization rate of the 107 couples of predicted time tf0 application CPU11 in processing power configuration part calculates correction predicted time, and compares with threshold time.As a result, it is shorter than threshold time that processing power configuration part 107 judges to revise predicted time, the performance rate of CPU11 reduced by 1 grade, is set as 75%.Due to according to the moment t1, t2 the correction predicted time that calculates of predicted time tf1, tf2 shorter than threshold time respectively, therefore processing power configuration part 107 the moment t1, t2 the performance rate of CPU11 is reduced by 1 grade at every turn, be set to 50%, 25%.In addition, at moment t1, t2, because moment t0, t1 performance rate above reduces 1 grade respectively, therefore rate of rise in temperature is slack-off, predicted time tf1, tf2 become longer than predicted time tf0, tf1, but all short than threshold time, therefore processing power configuration part 107 is judged to need to reduce performance rate.
Due to according to the moment t3, t4, t5 the correction predicted time that calculates of predicted time tf3, tf4, tf5 longer than threshold time respectively, and be not increase the degree of performance rate, therefore processing power configuration part 107 the moment t3, t4, t5 do not change the performance rate of CPU11 and maintain 25%.At moment t6, processing power configuration part 107 is identified and is measured equalized temperature or declining, and performance rate is improved 1 and becomes 50%.Because the correction predicted time calculated according to the predicted time tf7 of moment t7 is longer than threshold time, therefore processing power configuration part 107 is not changed the performance rate of CPU11 at moment t7 and maintains 50%.
Performance judgment portion 103, after moment t0 processing power configuration part 107 starts to carry out adjusting performance process, starts calculated performance characteristic value.Performance characteristic value along with adjusting performance process continue time and increase.The progression reduced is larger, and the increment rate of performance characteristic value is higher.At moment t8, performance characteristic value reaches predetermined threshold value, and therefore performance judgment portion 103 is to processing power configuration part 107 sending performance preemption command.The processing power configuration part 107 obtaining performance priority order makes performance rate return 100% at moment t8, makes CPU11 return to conventional sense.
When performance rate returns 100%, the temperature convergence of temperature sensor 11T carries out the thermal value of the CPU11 that the heat dissipation capacity of the radiator fan 33 of work and processing power do not reduce under by low speed rotation and the temperature determined.In this instance, the thermal value of the CPU11 under conventional sense has exceeded heat dissipation capacity, and therefore at moment t9, measure temperature and reach allowable temperature MTe, therefore the rotational speed of radiator fan 33 is risen 1 grade by pressure cooling system, makes it under middling speed rotates, carry out work.Between moment t4 and moment t5, CPU11 becomes idle condition, if make mensuration temperature drop to forbidding temperature LTd, then the rotational speed of radiator fan 33 is declined 1 grade by rotational speed configuration part 63, makes it transfer to Ultra-Low Speed and rotates.So, performance system is according to the performance rate of predicted temperature control CPU11, so that during adjusting performance process, temperature is no more than allowable temperature MTe, and CPU11 carries out work with maximum performance rate.
Fig. 8 illustrates the passing of mensuration temperature measured by temperature sensor 11T when utilizing test procedure to perform the step of Fig. 7 and performance rate.Fig. 8 (A) represents the situation only making pressure cooling system play a role, and Fig. 8 (B) represents the situation that pressure cooling system and performance system are played a role.In Fig. 8 (A), the thermal value of CPU11 as shown in bar chart during in whole period ta change, but owing to not carrying out adjusting performance process, therefore the mensuration temperature shown in line 201 has exceeded allowable temperature MTe in 3 places, under the control of pressure cooling system, the rotational speed of radiator fan 33 is all changed to middling speed at every turn and rotates.
In Fig. 8 (B), perform the test procedure identical with Fig. 8 (A), but owing to having carried out adjusting performance process, the mensuration temperature that therefore line 203 represents is no more than allowable temperature MTe.Now, to the change of the processing power that reply CPU11 carries out, the thermal value change of CPU11.Because make processing power reduce at period tb, therefore the upper limit of thermal value declines, and corresponding thermal value also reduces, because make processing power increase at period tc, therefore the upper limit of thermal value rises, and corresponding thermal value also increases.
Thus, in adjusting performance process, increase in the operation of CPU11, measure tb during temperature starts to rise and temporarily reduce processing power, should the part of operation of process during processing power reduces move to less follow-up of operation during tc, inhibit the peak value measuring temperature.The present invention coordinates the processing power of the CPU11 traded off and the quietness of radiator fan 33, provides maximum comfort level to user.
Comfort level changes according to the individual differences of user and operating conditions now.In the present invention, in the setting screen that customer interface portion 101 provides, adjust threshold value by user, select performance priority still that quietness is preferential, the adjustment of careful focal point can be carried out for each user.Specifically, threshold value sets less when wanting to make performance priority by user, the rotational speed of radiator fan 33 can be made to increase in the stage that performance characteristic value is less.Threshold value, when wanting to make quietness preferential, sets larger by user, can continue to carry out adjusting performance process before performance characteristic value increases.
Illustrate the example being carried out processing power adjustment by CPU11 in the present invention, but also can carry out SpeedStep or throttling by other the processor such as video chip.Now, CPU11 and video chip or one party wherein can be utilized to carry out adjusting performance process.In addition, if radiator fan 33 is the radiator fans forming the pressure cooling system illustrated with reference to Fig. 5, then can arrange multiple in system chassis 3.
