In this section, the results for the different simulations will be presented,
-and we'll try to explain our observations.

\subsubsection{Cluster vs grid platforms}
\subsubsection{The \besteffort{} strategy with the load initially on only one
node}
-Before looking at the different variations, we'll first show that the plain
-\besteffort{} strategy is valuable, and may be as good as the \makhoul{}
-strategy. On the graphs from the figure~\ref{fig.results1}, these strategies
-are respectively labeled ``b'' and ``a''.

-We can see that the relative performance of these strategies is mainly
-influenced by the application topology. It's for the line topology that the
-difference is the more important. In this case, the \besteffort{} strategy is
-nearly twice as fast as the \makhoul{} strategy.

+fairly.
On the contrary, for the hypercube topology, the \besteffort{} strategy performs
-worse than the \makhoul{} strategy.

+tries to give more load to few neighbors reaches the equilibrum faster.
-Finally, the results are more nuanced for the torus topology.
+For the torus topology, for which the number of links is between the line and
+the hypercube, the \makhoul{} strategy is slightly better but the difference is
+more nuanced.
-This can be explained by ...
+Globally the number of interconnection is very important. The more
+interconnection links there are, the faster the \makhoul{} strategy is because
+it distributes quickly significant amount of load even if this is unfair between
+all the neighbors. In opposition, the \besteffort{} strategy distributes the
+load fairly so this strategy is better for low connected strategy.

-plus c'est connecté, moins bon est BE car à vouloir trop bien équilibrer
-localement, le processeurs se perturbent mutuellement. Du coup, makhoul qui
-équilibre moins bien localement est moins perturbé par ces interférences.
