Abstract
A system comprising a system under test (SUT) having a control logic. The SUT further comprises testing logic coupled to the SUT and adapted to provide to the SUT a clock signal to facilitate communications between the testing logic and the SUT. The control logic monitors a number of activated processors in a scan chain coupled to the control logic. If the number of activated processors is reduced, the control logic dynamically decreases a frequency of the clock signal.
