 \section{Introduction}

-Traditionally, most of the software applications are  programmed as a sequential programs according to the Von Neumann report in 1993 \cite{ref50}. The structure of the 
-program code is understandable by the human brain as a series of instructions that execute one after the other. From many years until a short time, the users of the sequential applications had moved their thinking  towards that these applications must run faster with each new generation of microprocessors. This idea is no longer valid nowadays, because the recent release of the microprocessors have many computing units embedded in one chip and these programs are only run over one computing unit sequentially.
-Consequently, the traditional applications not have improved their performance a lot over the new architectures, whereas the new applications run faster over them in parallel. The parallel application is executed over  all the available  computing  units at the same time to improve its performance. Furthermore, the concurrency revolution has been referred to the drastically improvement in the performance of the new applications side by side to  the new parallel architectures \cite{ref51}. Therefore, parallel applications and parallel architectures are closely tied together. It is hard to think about any of  parallel applications without thinking of the parallel hardware that executing them.
-For example, the energy consumption of the parallel system mainly depends on both of the parallel application and the parallel architecture executing this application. Indeed, the energy consumption model or any measurement system depends on many specifications, some of them are concerting  the parallel hardware architecture such as the frequency of the processor, power consumption of the processor and  communication model.  The others are concerting the parallel application such as the computation and communication times of the application.

-Mainly, solving the sub-problems of the main problem in a parallel computing are carried out on multiple parallel processors.

-The hardware resources are the processing units and memory model in addition to the network system connecting them. The software resources include the specific operating system, the programming language and the compiler, or the runtime libraries. Furthermore, parallel computing can have different levels of parallelism, which can perform in software or hardware. There are five types of parallelism as follows:

 \begin{itemize}
 
 \begin{itemize}
 

-\item \textbf{Bit-level parallelism (BLP)}: The appearance of very-large-scale integration (VLSI) in 1970s has been considered the first approach towards the parallel computing. It is used to increase the number of bits  in word size  being processed by a processor as in the figure~\ref{fig:ch1:1}. For many successive years, the number of bits is increased starting from 4-bit microprocessors reaching until 64 bit microprocessors . For example, the recent  x86-64 architecture becomes the most familiar architecture nowadays. Therefore, the biggest word size gives more parallelism level and  thus less instructions to be executed by the processor at the same time.

-\item \textbf{Data-level parallelism (DLP)}:Data parallelism is a process of distributing the data vector between different parallel processors and each one performs the same operations on its data sub-vector. Therefore, many arithmetic operations can be performed on the same data vector in a simultaneous manner.  This type of parallelism can be used in many programs, especially from the area of scientific computing. Usually, data-parallel operations are only provided for arrays operations, for example see figure \ref{fig:ch1:2}.

-\item \textbf{Instruction-level parallelism (ILP)}: Generally, the sequential program composed of many instructions. These instructions can be executed in a parallel at the same time, if each of them is independent from the others. In particular, parallelism can be achieved in the instruction level by using  pipeline. It means all the independent instructions of the program are overlapped the execution of each  others. For example, if we have two instruction $I_1$ and $I_2$, they are independent if there is no control and data dependency between them.
- In pipeline stages, the execution of each instruction is divided into multiple steps that can be overlapped with the steps of other instructions by the pipeline hardware unit.

 Both of the shared and distributed platforms are demonstrated and depending on them the parallel programming models have categorized. 
 In the second section, the two types parallel iterative methods are described as synchronous and asynchronous iterative methods. The synchronous iterative methods are well implemented over local homogeneous cluster with a high speed network link, while the asynchronous iterative methods are more conventional to implement over the distributed heterogeneous clusters.

This model  cannot be used for all types of parallel architectures. Indeed, it assumes  measuring the dynamic power during both of the communication and computation times, while the processor involved remains idle during the communication times and  only consumes the static power. Moreover, it is not well adapted to the heterogeneous architectures when there are different types of the processors, which are consumed different dynamic and static powers.
