Abstract

The invention relates to the arrangement of a data processing system, said arrangement comprising a processor unit (3), other software and/or hardware components (5) used to operate the data processing system, and a power supply device (1). Said power supply device (1) comprises at least one supply line (2) having at least one output voltage for supplying the processor unit (3) and the hardware components (5). The data processing system comprises a measuring and evaluation device (4) which is connected to the power supply device (1) in order to determine and evaluate the actual power consumption of the data processing system.
