Abstract
Combinations of clock frequencies, voltages, and currents at which a processor operates normally are determined. These combinations are stored to a component on which the processor is installed. Voltage identifiers are stored to a computer system in which the component is installed. The voltage identifiers are associated with combinations of the voltages and currents. A type of the computer system is also stored to the component. A first clock frequency at which the processor operates is determined that is assigned to the type of the computer system. A first voltage and a first current are selected that are assigned to the first clock frequency. A first voltage identifier is found that is assigned to the combination of the first voltage and first current, and the first voltage identifier is sent to a voltage regulator, which supplies voltage to the processor.
