Abstract
In a data processing system having elements grouped into a plurality of power domains, each one of which has at least one processing element and at least two power supplies, power domains are interconnnected by sensing and switching circuitry which senses the conditions of power supply and demand in and among the domains and switches from one domain to power supplies in another domain in the event of failure in the first domain.
