Method and system for controlling a supply voltage

摘要

Method and computing system for controlling a supply voltage in the computing system. A voltage related indication for use in setting the supply voltage of the computing system is stored, and a supply voltage is set for the computing system based on the stored voltage related indication. A crash of the computing system is detected, and in dependence thereon, an adjusted indication is determined for use in the computing system. An adjusted supply voltage is set based on the adjusted indication, and the adjusted indication is stored for further use of the computing system.

1. A method of controlling a supply voltage in a computing system, the method comprising:
storing a voltage related indication at a safe level for operating the computing system, for use in setting the supply voltage of the computing system; setting a supply voltage for normal operating conditions of the computing system below the safe level of the stored voltage related indication; detecting a crash of the computing system operating at the supply voltage, and in dependence thereon, determining an adjusted indication for use in the computing system, wherein when a crash is detected a counter is incremented; setting an adjusted supply voltage based on the adjusted indication; and storing the adjusted indication for further use of the computing system.
