1. A design structure embodied in a machine readable storage medium for at least one of designing, manufacturing, and testing a design, the design structure comprising:

  • an apparatus for setting a reference voltage for a bus agent, the apparatus comprising a computer processor, a computer memory operatively coupled to the computer processor, the computer memory having disposed within it computer program instructions capable of;

    identifying a present configuration of a bus, the bus comprising conductive pathways connected to bus agents, the bus agents comprising computer hardware devices that use the bus for data communications among bus agents, the present configuration of the bus comprising the identity of the bus, the identities of one or more bus agents presently connected to the bus, and the order in which the bus agents presently are connected to the bus; and

    identifying a reference voltage value for each bus agent;

    the apparatus further comprising means for applying a reference voltage to each bus agents in dependence upon the identified reference voltage value for each bus agent.
