Nvidia patents system to check multiple processors at once
Nvidia describes a method for monitoring several computer processors simultaneously by connecting to them through intermediate hosts. The system uses stored data to find these connections and runs checks in parallel, saving the results as historical data to help spot unusual behavior later.
In the filing’s own words
In various examples, techniques for hierarchical monitoring of hardware in computing environments is described herein. Systems and methods described herein allow users to concurrently monitor multiple processors. For instance, a user may provide a request related to a set of processors—such as in the form of user input and/or user speech—where the request identifies at least the set of set of processors along with one or more actions to perform. In response to the request, registration data stored in one or more databases may be used to connect to the set of processors—such as by using one or more connected hosts—perform the action(s). Additionally, in some examples, systems and methods described herein may store the information in one or more additional databases as historical data, where the historical data may later be used to perform additional monitoring operations such as detecting anomalies.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. A method comprising: receiving input data representing a request for first information associated with processors; determining, using one or more databases that store registration data associated with at least the processors, second information for communicating with hosts connected to the processors; establishing, using the second information, connections with the processors via the hosts; causing, using the connections, the processors to perform one or more actions at least partially in parallel to determine the first information associated with the processors; and causing output of content that represents at least the first information associated with the processors.
