ABSTRACT:
A method of distributing power among servers is described includes calculating thermal multipliers of the servers, where the thermal multipliers represent recommended thermodynamic power consumption levels for the servers. In addition, the thermal multipliers of the servers are discretized to one of a plurality of server power states based upon geographic locations of the servers and one of the plurality of server power states is assigned to the servers based upon the discretization of the thermal multipliers.
