+\subsection{The experimental results of multicores clusters}
+\label{sec.res-mc}
+The grid'5000 clusters have different number of cores embedded in their nodes
+as in the Table \ref{table:grid5000}. Moreover, the cores of each node are 
+connected via shared memory model, the data transfer between cores' local 
+memories achieved via the global memory \cite{rauber_book}. Therefore, in 
+this section the proposed scaling algorithm is implemented over the  grid'5000 
+clusters which are included multicores in the selected nodes as same as the 
+two previous platform scenarios that mentioned in the section \ref{sec.res}.
+The two platform scenarios, the two sites and one site scenarios,  with 32 
+nodes are reconfigured to used multicores for each node. For example if 
+the participating number of nodes from a certain cluster is equal to 12 nodes, 
+in the multicores scenario the selected nodes is equal to 3 nodes with using 
+4 cores for each of them to produced 12 cores. These scenarios with one  
+core and  multicores are  demonstrated in Table \ref{table:sen-mc}. 
+The energy consumptions and execution times of running the NAS parallel 
+benchmarks, class D, over these four different scenarios are represented 
+in the figures \ref{fig:eng-cons-mc} and \ref{fig:time-mc} respectively.
+The execution times of NAS  benchmarks over the one site multicores scenario 
+is higher than the execution time of those running over one site multicores scenario. 
+The reason in the one site multicores scenario the communication is increased significantly,
+and all node's cores  share  the same node network link which increased 
+the communication times. Whereas, the execution times of the NAS benchmarks  over 
+the two site  multicores scenario is less than those executed over the two 
+sites one core scenario. This goes back when using multicores is decreasing the communications. 
+As explained previously, the cores shared same nodes' linkbut  the communications between the cores 
+are still less than the communication times between the nodes over the long distance 
+networks, and thus the over all execution time decreased. Generally, executing 
+the NAS benchmarks over the one site one core scenario gives smaller execution times 
+comparing to other scenarios. This due to each node in this scenario has it's 
+dedicated network link that used independently by one core, while in the other 
+scenarios the communication times are higher when using long distance communications 
+link or using the  shared link communications between cores of each node. 
+On the other hand, the energy consumptions of the NAS benchmarks over the 
+one site one cores is less than the one site multicores scenario because 
+this scenario had less execution time as mentioned before. Also, in the 
+one site one core scenario the computations to communications ratio is 
+higher, then the new scaled frequencies are decreased the dynamic energy 
+consumption which is decreased exponentially 
+with the new frequency scaling factors. These experiments also showed, the energy 
+consumption and the execution times of EP and MG benchmarks over these four 
+scenarios are not change a lot, because there are no or small communications 
+which are increase or decrease the static power consumptions. 
+The other benchmarks were showed that their energy consumptions and execution times 
+are changed according to the decreasing or increasing in the communication 
+times that are different from scenario to other or due to the amount of 
+communications in each of them.
+
+The energy saving percentages of all NAS benchmarks, as in figure 
+\ref{fig:eng-s-mc}, running over these four scenarios are presented. The figure 
+showed the energy saving percentages of NAS benchmarks over two sites multicores scenario is higher 
+than two sites once core scenario, because  the computation 
+times in this scenario is higher than the other one, then the more reduction in the 
+dynamic energy can be obtained as mentioned previously. In contrast, in the one site one 
+core and one site multicores scenarios the energy saving percentages 
+are approximately equivalent, on average they are up to 25\%. In these  both scenarios there are a small difference  in the 
+computations to communications ratio, leading the proposed scaling algorithm 
+to selects the frequencies proportionally to these ratios and keeping 
+as much as possible the energy saving percentages the same. The 
+performance degradation percentages of NAS benchmarks are presented in
+figure \ref{fig:per-d-mc}. This figure indicates that performance 
+degradation percentages of running NAS benchmarks over two sites 
+multocores scenario, on average is equal to 7\%,  gives more performance degradation percentage
+than two sites  one core scenario, which on average is equal to 4\%. 
+Moreover, using the two sites multicores scenario increased 
+the computations to communications ratio, which may be increased 
+the overall execution time  when the proposed scaling algorithm is applied and scaling down the frequencies.  
+The inverse was happened when the benchmarks are executed  over one 
+site one core scenario their performance degradation percentages, on average
+is equal to 10\%, are higher than those executed over one sit one core, 
+which on average is equal to 7\%. So, in one site 
+multicores scenario the computations to communications ratio is decreased
+as mentioned before, thus selecting new frequencies are not increased 
+the overall execution time. The tradeoff distances of all NAS 
+benchmarks over all scenarios are presented in the figure \ref{fig:dist-mc}.
+These  tradeoff distances are used to verified which scenario is the best in term of 
+energy and performance ratio. The one sites multicores scenario is the best  scenario in term of
+energy and performance tradeoff, on average is equal to 17.6\%, when comparing to the one site one core 
+scenario, one average is equal to 15.3\%.  The one site multicores  scenario 
+has the same  energy saving percentages of the one site one core scenario but
+with less performance degradation. The two sites multicores scenario is gives better 
+energy and performance tradeoff, one average is equal to 14.7\%, than the two sites
+one core, on average is equal to 13.3\%.
+Finally, using multicore in both scenarios increased the energy and performance tradeoff 
+distance. This generally due to using multicores was increased the computations to communications 
+ratio in two sites scenario and thus the energy saving percentage increased over the performance degradation percentage, whereas  this ratio was decreased  
+in one site  scenario causing the performance degradation percentage decreased over the energy saving percentage.
