+\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.

+\subsection{The results of using different static power consumption scenarios}
+\label{sec.pow_sen}
+The static power consumption for one core of the computing node is the leakage power
+consumption when this core is in the idle state. The node's idle state power value that measured 
+as in section \ref{sec.grid5000} had many power consumptions embedded  such as 
+all cores static powers in addition to the power consumption of the other devices. So, the static power for one core 
+can't measured precisely. On the other hand, while the static power consumption of
+one core representing the core's power when there is no any computation,  thus 
+the majority of ratio of the total power consumption is depends on the dynamic power consumption. 
+Despite that, the static power consumption is becomes more important  when the execution time 
+increased using DVFS. Therefore, the objective of this section is to verify the ability of the proposed 
+frequencies selecting algorithm when the static power consumption is changed. 
+
+All the results obtained in the previous sections depend on the measured dynamic power 
+consumptions as in table \ref{table:grid5000}. Moreover, the static power consumption is assumed for
+one core represents  20\% of the measured dynamic power of that core. 
+This assumption is extended in this section to taking into account others ratios for the static power consumption.
+In addition to the previous ratio of the static power consumption, two other scenarios are used which 
+all of these scenarios can be denoted as follow: 
+\begin{itemize}
+\item 10\% of static power scenario 
+\item 20\% of static power scenario 
+\item 30\% of static power scenario 
+\end{itemize}
+
+These three scenarios represented the ratio of the static power consumption that can be computed from 
+the dynamic power consumption of the core. The NAS benchmarks of class D are executed over 16 nodes
+in the Nancy site using three clusters: Graphite, Graphene and Griffon. As same as used before, the one site 16 nodes
+platform scenario explained in the last experiments, as in table \ref{tab:sc}, is uses to run 
+the NAS benchmarks with these static power scenarios.

+\end{figure}
+
+The energy saving percentages of NAS benchmarks with these three static power scenarios are presented 
+in figure \ref{fig:eng_sen}. This figure showed the 10\% of static power scenario 
+gives the biggest energy saving percentage comparing to 20\% and 30\% static power 
+scenario. When using smaller ratio of static power consumption, the proposed 
+frequencies selecting algorithm selects smaller frequencies, bigger scaling factors, 
+because the static energy consumption not increased significantly the overall energy 
+consumption. Therefore, more energy reduction can be achieved  when the frequencies are scaled down.
+For example figure \ref{fig:fre-pow}, illustrated that the proposed algorithm  
+proportionally scaled down the new computed frequencies with the overall predicted energy 
+consumption. The results of 30\% static power scenario gives the smallest energy saving percentages 
+because the new selected frequencies produced smaller ratio in the reduced energy consumption. 
+Furthermore, The proposed algorithm tries to limit selecting smaller frequencies that increased 
+the static energy consumption if the static power consumption is increased.
+The performance degradation percentages are presented in the figure \ref{fig:per-pow},
+the 30\% of static power scenario had less performance degradation percentage, because
+bigger frequencies was selected due to the big ratio in the static power consumption.
+The inverse was happens in the 20\% and 30\% scenario, the algorithm was selected 
+biggest frequencies, smaller scaling factors, according to this increased in the static power ratios.
+The tradoff distance for the NAS benchmarks with these three static powers scenarios 
+are presented in the figure \ref{fig:dist}. The results showed that the tradeoff
+distance is the best when the  10\% of static power scenario is used, and this percentage 
+is decreased for the other two scenarios propositionally to their static power ratios.
+In EP benchmarks, the results of energy saving, performance degradation and tradeoff 
+distance are showed small differences when the these static power scenarios were used, 
+because this benchmark not has communications. The proposed algorithm is selected 
+same frequencies in this benchmark when all these static power scenarios are used. 
+The small differences in the results are due to the static power is consumed during the computation 
+times side by side to the dynamic power consumption, knowing that the dynamic power consumption 
+representing the highest ratio in the total power consumption of the core, then any change in 
+the static power during these times have less affect on the overall energy consumption. While the 
+inverse was happens for the rest of the benchmarks which have the communications 
+that increased the static energy consumption linearly to the mount of communications 
+in these benchmarks.

+\subsection{The comparison of the proposed frequencies selecting algorithm }

 \label{sec.compare_EDP}
 
 \label{sec.compare_EDP}
 

+The tradeoff between the energy consumption and the performance of the parallel 
+application had significant importance in the domain of the research. 
+Many researchers, \cite{EDP_for_multi_processors,Energy_aware_application_scheduling,Exploring_Energy_Performance_TradeOffs},
+are optimized the tradeoff between the energy and performance using the energy and delay product, $EDP=energy \times delay$. 
+This model is used by Spiliopoulos et al. algorithm \cite{Spiliopoulos_Green.governors.Adaptive.DVFS},
+the  objective is to selects the suitable frequencies that minimized EDP product for the multicores 
+architecture when DVFS is used. Moreover, their algorithm is applied online which synchronously optimized the energy consumption 
+and the execution time. Both energy consumption and execution time  of a processor are predicted by the their algorithm.
+In this section the proposed frequency selection algorithm, called Maxdist is compared with Spiliopoulos et al. algorithm, called EDP.
+To make both of the algorithms follow the same direction and  fairly  comparing them, the same energy model,  equation \ref{eq:energy} and
+the execution time model, equation \ref{eq:perf}, are used in the prediction process to select the best vector of the frequencies. 
+In contrast, the proposed algorithm starts the search space from the lower bound computed as in equation the  \ref{eq:Fint}. Also, the algorithm
+stops  the search process when  reaching to the lower bound as mentioned before. While, the EDP algorithm is developed to start from the 
+same upper bound until it reach to the minimum available frequencies. Finally, resulting the algorithm is an exhaustive search algorithm that
+test all possible frequencies, starting from the initial frequencies, and selecting those minimized the EDP products.
+
+Both algorithms were applied to NAS benchmarks class D over 16 nodes selected from grid'5000 clusters.
+The participating computing nodes are distributed between two sites to had two different scenarios. 
+These scenarios are two sites and one site scenarios that explained previously. 
+The experimental results of the energy saving, performance degradation and tradeoff distance are 
+presented in the figures \ref{fig:edp-eng}, \ref{fig:edp-perf} and \ref{fig:edp-dist} respectively. 
+
+In one site scenario the proposed frequencies selection algorithm outperform the EDP algorithm 
+in term of energy and performance for all of the benchmarks. While, the compassion results from the two sites scenario 
+showed that the proposed algorithm outperform EDP algorithm for all benchmarks except MG benchmark.
+In case of MG benchmark the are small communications and bigger frequencies selected in EDP algorithm 
+decreased the performance degradation more than the frequencies selected by Maxdist algorithm. 
+While the energy saving percentage are higher for Maxdist algorithm.
+
+Generally, the proposed algorithm gives better results for all benchmarks because it
+optimized the distance between the energy saving and the performance degradation. 
+Whereas, in EDP algorithm gives negative tradeoff for some benchmarks in the two sites scenarios.
+These negative tradeoffs mean the performance degradation percentage is higher than energy saving percentage.
+The higher positive value for tradeoff distance is mean the best energy and performance tradeoff is achieved synchronously, when
+the energy saving percentage is much higher than the performance degradation percentage 
+The time complexity of the proposed algorithm is $O(N \cdot M \cdot F)$, where $N$ is the number of the clusters,
+$M$ is the number of nodes and $F$ is the maximum number of available frequencies. The algorithm is selected 
+the best frequencies in small execution time, on average is equal to  0.01 $ms$ when it works over 32 nodes.
+While the EDP algorithm was slower than Maxdist algorithm by ten times, where their execution time  on average 
+takes 0.1 $ms$  to selects the suitable frequencies over 32 nodes. 
+The time complexity of this algorithm is  $O(N^2 \cdot M^2 \cdot F)$.
