Abstract
Assigning a server among a plurality of servers to a workload. A workload distributor generates at least one energy profile for each server among the plurality of servers. The workload distributor receives a request to assign a workload, the request having a resource requirement. The workload distributor selects a subset of servers by comparing, for each server at least one energy profile to the resource requirement. The workload distributor selects from the subset of servers a selected server based on the workload and/or energy profile. The workload distributor dispatches the workload to the selected server.
