Abstract
A system for mitigating power supply and power distribution system noise response by throttling execution units based upon voltage sensing in a circuit is provided. A sensing unit senses the voltage of a circuit. The sensing unit determines if the execution of another execution unit will cause the circuit voltage to drop below a threshold level. In response to a determination that the execution of another execution unit will cause the circuit voltage to drop below the threshold level, the execution unit is throttled.
