+In recent years, green computing has become an important topic in the supercomputing
+research domain. However, the computing platforms are still consuming more and more energy due to the increase in the number of nodes composing them. 
+To minimize the operating costs of these platforms many techniques have
+been used. Dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS) is one of them. It
+can be used to reduce the power consumption of the CPU while computing, by
+lowering its frequency. However, lowering the frequency of a CPU may increase
+the execution time of the application running on that processor. Therefore, the
+frequency that gives the best trade-off between the energy consumption and the
+performance of an application must be selected.
+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.

+\textbf{KEY WORDS:} Dynamic voltage and frequency scaling, Grid computing,  Energy optimization, parallel applications with iterations  and online frequency scaling algorithm.
