 \section{Optimization of both energy consumption and performance}
 \label{sec.compet}

-Applying DVFS to lower level  not surly reducing the energy consumption to minimum level. Also, a big scaling for the frequency produces high performance degradation percent. Moreover, by considering the  drastically  increase in execution time of parallel program, the static energy is related to this time 
-and it also increased by the same ratio. Thus, the opportunity for gaining more energy reduction is restricted. For that choosing frequency scaling factors is very important process to taking into account both energy and performance. In our previous work~\cite{45}, we are proposed a method that selects the optimal frequency scaling factor for an homogeneous cluster, depending on the trade-off relation between the energy and performance. In this work we have an  heterogeneous cluster, at each node there is different scaling factors, so our goal is to selects the optimal set of frequency scaling factors, $Sopt_1,Sopt_2,...,Sopt_N$, that gives the best trade-off  between energy consumption and performance. The relation between the energy and the execution time is complex and nonlinear, Thus, unlike the relation between the performance and  the scaling factor,  the relation of the energy with the frequency scaling factors is nonlinear, for more details refer to~\cite{17}.  Moreover, they are not measured using the same metric.  To solve this problem, we normalize the execution time by calculating the ratio between the new execution time (the scaled execution time) and the old one as follow:
+
+Using the lowest frequency for each processor does not necessarily gives the most energy efficient execution of an application. Indeed, even though the dynamic power is reduced while scaling down the frequency of a processor, its computation power is proportionally decreased and thus the execution time might be drastically increased during which dynamic and static powers are being consumed. Therefore,  it might cancel any gains achieved by scaling down the frequency of all nodes to the minimum  and the overall energy consumption of the application might not be the optimal one. It is not trivial to select the appropriate frequency scaling factor for each processor while considering the characteristics of each processor (computation power, range of frequencies, dynamic and static powers) and the task executed (computation/communication ratio) in order to reduce the overall energy consumption and not significantly increase the execution time. In our previous work~\cite{45}, we  proposed a method that selects the optimal 
+frequency scaling factor for a homogeneous cluster executing a message passing iterative synchronous application while giving the best trade-off
+ between the energy consumption and the performance for such applications. In this work we are interested in 
+heterogeneous clusters as described above. Due to the heterogeneity of the processors, not one but a  vector of scaling factors should be selected and it must  give the best trade-off between energy consumption and performance. 
+
+The relation between the energy consumption and the execution
+time for an application is complex and nonlinear, Thus, unlike the relation between the execution time 
+and the scaling factor, the relation of the energy with the frequency scaling
+factors is nonlinear, for more details refer to~\cite{17}.  Moreover, they are
+not measured using the same metric.  To solve this problem, we normalize the
+execution time by computing the ratio between the new execution time (after scaling down the frequencies of some processors) and the initial one (with maximum frequency for all nodes,) as follows:

 \begin{multline}
   \label{eq:pnorm}
   P_\textit{Norm} = \frac{T_\textit{New}}{T_\textit{Old}}\\
 \begin{multline}
   \label{eq:pnorm}
   P_\textit{Norm} = \frac{T_\textit{New}}{T_\textit{Old}}\\

 \end{multline}
 
 
            {\max_{i=1,2,\dots,N}{(Tcp_i+Tcm_i)}}

+In the same way, we normalize the energy by computing the ratio between the consumed energy while scaling down the frequency and the consumed energy with maximum frequency for all nodes:

-In this section we proposed an heterogeneous scaling algorithm, (figure~\ref{HSA}), that selects the optimal set of scaling factors from each node. 
-The algorithm is numerates the suitable range of available scaling factors for each node in the heterogeneous cluster, returns a set of optimal frequency scaling factors for each node. Using heterogeneous cluster is produces different workloads for each node. Therefore, the fastest nodes waiting at the barrier for the slowest nodes to finish there work as in figure (\ref{fig:heter}). Our algorithm takes into account these imbalanced workloads when is starts to search for selecting the best scaling factors. So, the algorithm is selecting the initial frequencies values for each node proportional to the times of computations that gathered from the first iteration. As an example in figure (\ref{fig:st_freq}), the algorithm don't test the first frequencies of the fastest nodes until it converge their frequencies to the frequency of the slowest node. If the algorithm is starts test changing the frequency of the slowest nodes from beginning, we are loosing performance and then not selecting the best tradeoff (the distance). This case will be similar to the homogeneous cluster when all nodes scales their frequencies together from the  beginning. In this case there is a small distance between energy and performance curves, for example see the figure(\ref{fig:r1}).  Then the algorithm searching for optimal frequency  scaling factor from the selected frequencies until the last available ones.

In BT and SP benchmarks, the average of energy saving is not decreased significantly compare to other benchmarks when the number of nodes is increased.

In this section we are change these ratio by using two others scenarios. Because is  interested to measure the ability  of the proposed algorithm to changes it   behaviour when these power ratios are changed. In fact, we are use two different scenarios for dynamic and static power ratios in addition to the previous scenario in section (\ref{sec.res}). Therefore, we have three different scenarios for three different dynamic and static power ratios refer to as: 70\%-20\%, 80\%-20\% and 90\%-10\% scenario. The results of these scenarios running NAS benchmarks class C on 8 or 9 nodes are place in the tables (\ref{table:res_s1} and \ref{table:res_s2}).
+In the NAS benchmarks there are some programs executed on different number of

+power of (1, 2, 4, 9, \dots{}) of nodes. We are take the average of energy
+saving, performance degradation and distances for all results of NAS
+benchmarks. The average of values of these three objectives are plotted to the number of
+nodes as in plots (\ref{fig:avg_eq} and \ref{fig:avg_neq}).  In CG, MG, LU, and
+FT benchmarks the average of energy saving is decreased when the number of nodes
+is increased because the communication times is increased as mentioned
+before. Thus, the average of distances (our objective function) is decreased
+linearly with energy saving while keeping the average of performance degradation approximately is 
+the same. In BT and SP benchmarks, the average of the  energy saving is not decreased

-To compare the results of these three powers scenarios, we are take the average of the performance degradation, the energy saving and the distances for all NAS benchmarks running on 8 or 9 nodes of class C, as in figure (\ref{fig:sen_comp}). Thus, according to the average of the results, the energy saving ratio is increased when using the a higher percentage for dynamic power (e.g. 90\%-10\% scenario).

-The precision of the proposed algorithm mainly depends on the execution time prediction model and the energy model. The energy model is significantly depends on the execution time model EQ(\ref{eq:perf}), that the energy static related linearly. So, we are compare the predicted execution time with the real execution time (Simgrid time)  values that gathered  offline for the NAS benchmarks class B executed on 8 or 9 nodes. The execution time model can predicts 
-the real execution time by maximum normalized error 0.03 of all NAS benchmarks. The second verification that we are make is for the scaling algorithm to prove its ability to selects the best set of frequency scaling factors. Therefore, we are expand the algorithm to test at each iteration the frequency scaling factor of the slowest node with the all scaling factors available of the other nodes. This version of the algorithm is applied to different NAS benchmarks classes with different number of nodes. The results from the two algorithms is identical. While the proposed algorithm is runs faster, 10 times faster on average than the expanded algorithm.
