ABSTRACT:
Several processors have specifications setting forth that each processor be coupled to a separate specified voltage regulator circuit. Instead, a number of specified voltage regulator circuit(s) is coupled to the several processors. The number of voltage regulator circuit(s) is less than the number of processors. The processors and voltage regulator circuit(s) are coupled to a module, and a thermal limit for the module is maintained because the several processors are coupled to the smaller number of voltage regulator circuits.
