COMPUTING SYSTEM VOLTAGE CONTROL

摘要

An apparatus including a voltage safety verification unit (VSVU) configured to receive an indication of a first performance state, the first performance state being associated with a first voltage. The first performance state applies to at least one computing system component and the indication is received by a computing system component distinct from the requesting computing system component. The VSVU is configured to receive an indication of a second performance state. The second performance state is associated with a second voltage that is not equal to the first voltage. The VSVU is configured to determine whether the second performance state is within a range defined by a minimum and maximum performance state. Responsive to a determination that the second performance state is within the, the VSVU is configured to set the voltage of the at least one computing system component equal to the voltage associated with the second performance state.
