Zusammenfassung:A method, system, and computer program product for controlling power supplied to a processor is disclosed. A voltage regulator is set to a first voltage regulator set point, wherein the first voltage regulator set point provides a first load line for operation of the processor. A change in an operation of the processor from a first operating condition along the first load line to a second operating condition along the first load line is determined. The voltage regulator is the set to a second voltage regulator set point and the processor is operated at a third operating condition on a second load line corresponding to the second voltage regulator set point.
