1. Apparatus, comprisingthresholding means adapted to check if an average frequency of occurrence of timing violations is outside a range;
- andcontrolling means adapted to control at least one of a clock frequency, a processing, a heat generation, a bias voltage, a current, and a temperature in a direction to bring the average frequency of occurrence of timing violations into the range if the average frequency of occurrence of timing violations is outside the range.
