ABSTRACT:
A method for compensating for dynamic IR (voltage) drop for instruction execution. In a data processing system having a memory, and a central processing unit (CPU), where the CPU includes an adaptive power supply, a method is provided for determining the power required for instruction execution, adjusting power supplied by the adaptive power supply to the CPU to execute the instruction, and dispatching the instruction from the memory to the CPU for execution.
