Summary:Systems, methodologies, media, and other embodiments associated with detecting and responding to a degradation of a direct current provided to a frequency scalable processor are described. One exemplary frequency scalable processor includes a voltage regulating logic configured to request that a direct current having a reference voltage be provided to the processor. The example processor may also include a logic for detecting whether the voltage matches the reference voltage to within a desired tolerance and to selectively store processor state and/or data based on the detecting.
