Abstract
An electronic device is assigned to a virtual bin by setting an operating voltage of the electronic device to a first voltage, determining an operating frequency and an operating power consumption level for the electronic device, determining an operating frequency differential equal to the absolute value of difference between the operating frequency and a minimum operating frequency of the physical bin, determining a power consumption level differential equal to the absolute value of difference between the operating power consumption level and a maximum operating power consumption level of the physical bin, and assigning a virtual bin identifier to the electronic device to identify the operating voltage of the electronic device if the operating frequency is greater than or equal to the minimum operating frequency of the physical bin and the operating power consumption level is less than or equal to the maximum power consumption level of the physical bin.
