Therefore, the overall execution time of the program is the execution time of the slowest
task which has the highest computation time and no slack time.

the difference between the faster nodes and the slower nodes is, the bigger the
maximum distance between the energy curve and the performance curve is while
the scaling factors are varying which results in bigger energy savings.
