It has more than 3 millions of cores and delivers more than 33 Tflop/s while consuming 17808 kW). This large increase in number of computing cores has led to large energy consumption by these architectures. Moreover, the price of energy is expected to continue its ascent according to the demand. For all these reasons energy reduction became an important topic in the high performance computing field.

The relation between the energy and the performance are nonlinear and complex, because the relation of the energy with scaling factor is nonlinear and with the performance it is linear see~\cite{17}. The relation between the energy and the performance is not straightforward. Moreover, they are not measured using the same metric. For solving this problem, we normalize the energy by calculating the ratio between the consumed energy with scaled frequency and the consumed energy -without scaled frequency : -\begin{equation} \label{eq:enorm} - E_{Norm}=\displaystyle\frac{E_{Reduced}}{E_{Orginal}}= \frac{\displaystyle \;P_{dyn}\,.\,S_i^{-2}\,.\,(T_1+\sum\limits_{i=2}^{N}\frac{T_i^3}{T_1^2})+\;P_{static}\,.\,T_1\,.\,S_i\;\,.\,N }{\displaystyle \;P_{dyn}\,.\,(T_1+\sum\limits_{i=2}^{N}\frac{T_i^3}{T_1^2})+\;P_{static}\,.\,T_1\,\,.\,N } -\end{equation} -By the same way we can normalize the performance as follows : -\begin{equation} \label{eq:pnorm} - P_{Norm}=\displaystyle \frac{T_{New}}{T_{Old}}=\frac{T_{Max \:Comp \:Old} \;. \:S \;+ \;T_{Max\: Comm\: Old}}{T_{Old}} \;\; +without scaled frequency: +\begin{multline} + \label{eq:enorm} + E_\textit{Norm} = \frac{ E_\textit{Reduced}}{E_\textit{Original}} \\ + {} = \frac{P_\textit{dyn} \cdot S_1^{-2} \cdot + \left( T_1 + \sum_{i=2}^{N}\frac{T_i^3}{T_1^2}\right) + + P_\textit{static} \cdot T_1 \cdot S_1 \cdot N }{ + P_\textit{dyn} \cdot \left(T_1+\sum_{i=2}^{N}\frac{T_i^3}{T_1^2}\right) + + P_\textit{static} \cdot T_1 \cdot N } +\end{multline} +By the same way we can normalize the performance as follows: +\begin{equation} + \label{eq:pnorm} + P_\textit{Norm} = \frac{T_\textit{New}}{T_\textit{Old}} + = \frac{T_\textit{Max Comp Old} \cdot S + + T_\textit{Max Comm Old}}{ T_\textit{Old}} \end{equation} The second problem is the optimization operation for both energy and performance is not in the same direction. In other words, the normalized energy and the performance curves are not in the same direction see figure~(\ref{fig:r2}). While the main goal is to optimize the energy and performance in the same -time. According to the equations~(\ref{eq:enorm}) and~(\ref{eq:pnorm}) the +time. According to the equations~(\ref{eq:enorm}) and~(\ref{eq:pnorm}), the scaling factor \emph S reduce both the energy and the performance simultaneously. But the main objective is to produce maximum energy reduction with minimum performance reduction. Many researchers used different strategies to solve this nonlinear problem for example see~\cite{19,42}, their methods add big overhead to the algorithm for selecting the suitable frequency. In this -paper we are present a method to find the optimal scaling factor \emph S for +paper we present a method to find the optimal scaling factor \emph S for optimize both energy and performance simultaneously without adding big overheads. Our solution for this problem is to make the optimization process have the same direction. Therefore, we inverse the equation of normalize -performance as follows : -\begin{equation} \label{eq:pnorm_en} - \displaystyle P^{-1}_{Norm}= \frac{T_{Old}}{T_{New}}=\frac{T_{Old}}{T_{Max \:Comp \:Old} \;. \:S \;+ \;T_{Max\: Comm\: Old}} +performance as follows: +\begin{equation} + \label{eq:pnorm_en} + P^{-1}_\textit{Norm} = \frac{ T_\textit{Old}}{ T_\textit{New}} + = \frac{ T_\textit{Old}}{T_\textit{Max Comp Old} \cdot S + + T_\textit{Max Comm Old}} \end{equation} -\begin{figure} +\begin{figure*} \centering - \subfloat[Converted Relation.]{\includegraphics[scale=0.70]{file.eps}\label{fig:r1}} - \subfloat[Real Relation.]{\includegraphics[scale=0.70]{file3.eps}\label{fig:r2}} + \subfloat[Converted Relation.]{% + \includegraphics[width=.4\textwidth]{file.eps}\label{fig:r1}}% + \qquad% + \subfloat[Real Relation.]{% + \includegraphics[width=.4\textwidth]{file3.eps}\label{fig:r2}} \label{fig:rel} - \caption{The Energy and Performance Relation} -\end{figure} + \caption{The Relation of Energy and Performance } +\end{figure*} Then, we can modelize our objective function as finding the maximum distance between the energy curve EQ~(\ref{eq:enorm}) and the inverse of performance -curve EQ~(\ref{eq:pnorm_en}) over all available scaling factors. This represent -the minimum energy consumption with minimum execution time (better performance) +curve EQ~(\ref{eq:pnorm_en}) over all available scaling factors $S_j$. This represent +the minimum energy consumption with minimum execution time (better performwhere F is the number of available frequenciesance) in the same time, see figure~(\ref{fig:r1}). Then our objective function has the following form: -\begin{equation} \label{eq:max} - \displaystyle MaxDist = Max \;(\;\overbrace{P^{-1}_{Norm}}^{Maximize}\; -\; \overbrace{E_{Norm}}^{Minimize} \;) +\begin{equation} + \label{eq:max} + S_\textit{optimal} = \max_{j=1,2,\dots,F} (\overbrace{P^{-1}_\textit{Norm}(S_j)}^{\text{Maximize}} - + \overbrace{E_\textit{Norm}(S_j)}^{\text{Minimize}} ) \end{equation} -Then we can select the optimal scaling factor that satisfy the +where F is the number of available frequencies. Then we can select the optimal scaling factor that satisfy the EQ~(\ref{eq:max}). Our objective function can works with any energy model or static power values stored in a data file. Moreover, this function works in optimal way when the energy function has a convex form with frequency scaling -factor as shown in ~\cite{15,3,19}. Energy measurement model is not the -objective of this paper and we choose Rauber's model as an example with two +factor as shown in~\cite{15,3,19}. Energy measurement model is not the +objective of this paper and we choose Rauber and Rünger model as an example with two reasons that mentioned before. -\sectionfont{\large} -\section{.~Optimal Scaling Factor for Performance and Energy } +\section{Optimal Scaling Factor for Performance and Energy} +\label{sec.optim} In the previous section we described the objective function that satisfy our goal in discovering optimal scaling factor for both performance and energy at the same time.

It works based on the trade off relation between the energy and performance. The results showed that when the scaling factor is big value refer to more energy saving. Also, when the scaling factor is smaller value, then it has bigger impact on performance than energy. The algorithm optimizes the energy saving and performance in the same time to have positive trade off. The optimal trade off represents the 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. In future, we will apply the EPSA algorithm on heterogeneous platform. + +\section*{Acknowledgment} +Computations have been performed on the supercomputer facilities of the +Mésocentre de calcul de Franche-Comté. +As a PhD student, M.
