ADAPTIVE CLOCK THROTTLING FOR EVENT PROCESSING

Methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for adaptive clock throttling for event processing are provided. Embodiments include an event processing system receiving a plurality of events from one or more components of the distributed processing system. Embodiments also include the event processing system determining that an arrival attribute of the plurality of events exceeds an arrival threshold. Embodiments also include the event processing system, adjusting, in response to determining that the arrival attribute of the plurality of events exceeds the arrival threshold, a clock speed of at least one of the event processing system and a component of the distributed processing system.
