Changing processor performance from a throttled state during a power supply failure

A computer usable program product comprising a computer usable device including computer usable code for improving processor performance during power supply failure, the computer usable code comprising:

• computer usable code for detecting, during the power supply failure, a throttled condition of a processor in a data processing system;
• computer usable code for reducing, during the power supply failure, a voltage of the electrical power being provided to the processor;
• and
• computer usable code for un-throttling, during the power supply failure, the processor.

A data processing system for improving processor performance during power supply failure, the data processing system comprising:

• a storage device including a storage medium, wherein the storage device stores computer usable program code;
• and
• a processor, wherein the processor executes the computer usable program code, and wherein the computer usable program code comprises:
• computer usable code for detecting, during the power supply failure, a throttled condition of a processor in a data processing system;
• computer usable code for reducing, during the power supply failure, a voltage of the electrical power being provided to the processor;
• and
• computer usable code for un-throttling, during the power supply failure, the processor.

A system for improving processor performance during power supply failure, the system comprising:
