+The important technique for energy reduction of parallel systems is CPU frequency 
+scaling. This operation used by many researchers to reduce energy consumption in many
+ways. Frequency scaling operation also has big impact on the performance. In some cases, 
+the performance degradation ratio is bigger than energy saving ratio  when the frequency scaled 
+to down level. Therefore, the trade offs between the energy and performance becomes more
+important topic when using this technique. In this paper we developed an algorithm that 
+select the frequency scaling factor for both  energy and performance simultaneously. 
+This algorithm takes into account the communication times when selecting the frequency scaling
+factor. It is works online without training or profiling to have very small overhead.
+The algorithm has better energy-performance trade offs compared to other methods.

+\section{Conclusion}
+\label{sec.concl}
+In this paper we develop the simultaneous energy-performance algorithm. It is works based on the trade off relation between the energy and performance. The results showed that when the scaling factor is big value leads to more energy saving. Also, it show that when the the scaling factor is small value leads to the fact that the scaling factor has bigger impact on performance than energy. Then the algorithm optimize the energy saving and performance in the same time to have positive trade off. The optimal trade off refer to maximum distance between the energy and the inversed performance curves. Also, the results explained when setting the slowest task to maximum frequency usually not have a big improvement on performance.
