Abstract
A system is provided that controls the clocking of a processor depending upon its usage of execution units. As the processor transitions from a default mode of operation using a default number of the execution units to an increased load mode of operation using an increased number of the execution units, a current drawn by the processor from a power rail remains substantially unchanged.
