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. -- 2.39.5
