Abstract
A method of allocating workload among servers in a geographically collocated cluster of compute equipment includes calibrating causes of heat re-circulation in the cluster of compute equipment. In addition, workload is allocated among the servers to address causes of the heat re-circulation to reduce costs associated with cooling the compute equipment.
