+\thesisabstract[english]{ This thesis, presents the algorithms developed to optimize the energy consumption
+and the performance of synchronous and asynchronous message passing applications with iterations running over clusters or grids. The energy consumption and performance models for each type of parallel application predicts its execution time and energy consumption for any selected frequency
+according to the characteristics of both the application and the architecture executing this application.

+
+The contribution of this thesis can be divided into three parts: Firstly, optimizing the trade-off between
+the energy consumption and the performance of the message passing applications with synchronous iterations
+running over homogeneous clusters. Secondly, adapting the energy and performance models to heterogeneous platforms where each node can have different specifications such as computing power, energy consumption, available frequency gears or network's latency and bandwidth. The frequency scaling algorithm was also modified to suit the heterogeneity of the platform. Thirdly, the models and the frequency scaling algorithm were completely rethought to take into considerations the asynchronism in the communication and computation.
+All these models and algorithms were applied to message passing applications with iterations and evaluated
+over either SimGrid simulator or Grid'5000 platform. The experiments showed that the proposed algorithms are
+efficient and outperform existing methods such as the energy and delay product. They also introduce a small
+runtime overhead and work online without any training or profiling.
