Abstract
A computer system that includes a plurality of compute clusters that are located at different geographical locations. Each compute cluster is powered by a local energy source at a geographical location of that compute cluster. Each local energy source has a pattern of energy supply that is variable over time based on an environmental factor. The computer system further includes a server system that executes a global scheduler that distributes virtual machines that perform compute tasks for server-executed software programs to the plurality of compute clusters of the distributed compute platform. To distribute virtual machines for a target server-executed software program, the global scheduler is configured to select a subset of compute clusters that have different complementary patterns of energy supply such that the subset of compute clusters aggregately provide a target compute resource availability for virtual machines for the target server-executed software program.
