Because wind and solar energy are intermittent power sources, the study will also seek ways to automatically shift a computing load between data centers and maintain reliability.<\/p>\n<p>Engineers at AMD developed the research proposal with Clarkson University. In the first phase of the project, Clarkson students will begin experimentation on effectively managing data through a distributed network based on renewable energy.<\/p>\n<p>The second phase of the project plans to incorporate hardware elements from HP and AMD. HP will offer its <a href=\"http:\/\/h71028.www7.hp.com\/enterprise\/cache\/600946-0-0-0-121.html\">Performance Optimized Datacenter<\/a> (POD) that uses the AMD&#8217;s Opteron processor, which AMD says is designed for energy efficiency and cloud computing.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The distributed computing model of the cloud parallels the distributed power-generation model of solar and wind energy,&#8221; says Alan Lee, AMD&#8217;s corporate vice president for research. &#8220;Directing power to data centers from these emerging renewable energy resources without relying on a large-scale, traditional electrical grid is a key challenge.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Funding is provided by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nyserda.org\/default.asp\">NYSERDA<\/a> and private sources.
