+\textbf{Answer:} The contributions were moved to the introduction section.

 
 \item Why emphasize it is a grid platform? the presentation of related work follows the logic of heterogeneous CPUs. Grid is only a type of platform with heterogeneous CPUs.

 \item Why $T_{old}$ is computed using eq. 12, which applies MAX over computation time and communication time, while in  $T_{new}$, max and min operations are applied over computation and communication separately?

-\textcolor{blue}{Answer:  We  agree with the reviewer, $T_{old}$ is the maximum execution time of the application before scaling the frequency and it is computed as in $T_{new}$ equation without scaling factors. So, we have changed the $T_{old}$ in the paper as as follows:
+\textbf{Answer:} Both forms can be used for computing $T_{old}$ and $T_{new}$. To avoid this confusion, the same form was used for both equations in the paper.
