Abstract

Implementations of this application provide a method and an apparatus for controlling a voltage of a power supply of a data processing device and a data processing device. The method includes: determining a computing power ratio of the data processing device based on an actual computing power and a theoretical computing power of the data processing device; generating a power supply control instruction based on a result of comparison between the computing power ratio and a predetermined threshold; and controlling an output voltage of the power supply of the data processing device based on the power supply control instruction. According to the implementations of this application, the output voltage of the power supply is controlled according to the computing power ratio, and a good compromise can be obtained between the power consumption loss and the computing power of the data processing device.
