    摘要: Briefly, in accordance with one embodiment of the invention, a system includes: a processor, a voltage regulator, and a memory. The voltage regulator is coupled to the processor to adjust the operating voltage of the processor. The memory is coupled to the processor by a memory bus. The memory has stored on it processor instructions that, when executed by the processor, result in modification of the operating frequency of the processor and result in adjustment of the operating voltage of the processor, based, at least in part, on dynamic changes in the processing load of the processor.
