+The clusters of grid'5000 have different number of cores embedded in their nodes
+as shown in Table \ref{table:grid5000}. In
+this section, the proposed scaling algorithm is evaluated over the grid'5000 grid while using multi-core nodes selected according to the one site scenario described in the section \ref{sec.res}.
+The one site scenario, uses 32 cores from multi-cores nodes instead of 32 distinct nodes. For example if
+the participating number of cores from a certain cluster is equal to 14,
+in the multi-core scenario the selected nodes is equal to 4 nodes while using
+3 or 4 cores from each node. The platforms with one
+core per node and multi-cores nodes are shown 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 presented
+in the figures \ref{fig:eng-cons-mc} and \ref{fig:time-mc} respectively.}

+The execution times for most of the NAS benchmarks are higher over the one site multi-cores per node scenario
+than the execution time of those running over one site single core per node scenario. Indeed,
+ the communication times are higher in the one site multi-cores scenario than in the latter scenario because all the cores of a node share the same node network link which can be saturated when running communication bound applications. Moreover, the cores of a node share the memory bus which can be also saturated and become a bottleneck.
+The experiments showed that for most of the NAS benchmarks,
+the one site one core scenario gives the best execution times because the communication times are the lowest.
+Indeed, in this scenario each core has a dedicated network link and memory bus.
+Moreover, the energy consumptions of the NAS benchmarks are lower over the
+one site one core scenario than over the one site multi-cores scenario because
+the first scenario had less execution time than the latter which results in less static energy being consumed.
+The computations to communications ratios of the NAS benchmarks are higher over
+the one site one core scenario when compared to the ratio of the multi-cores scenario.
+More energy reduction was achieved when this ratio is increased because the proposed scaling algorithm selects smaller frequencies that decrease the dynamic power consumption.
+These experiments also showed that the energy
+consumption and the execution times of the EP and MG benchmarks do not change significantly over these two
+scenarios because there are no or small communications,
+which could increase or decrease the static power consumptions. Contrary to EP and MG, the energy consumptions and the execution times of the rest of the benchmarks vary according to the communication times that are different from one scenario to the other.
+The energy saving percentages of all NAS benchmarks running over these two scenarios are presented in the figure \ref{fig:eng-s-mc}. It shows that the energy saving percentages in the one site one
+core and one site multi-cores scenarios
+are approximately equivalent, on average they are equal to 25.9\% and 25.1\% respectively. In both scenarios there
+are a small difference in the computations to communications ratios, which leads
+the proposed scaling algorithm to select similar frequencies for both scenarios.
+The performance degradation percentages of the NAS benchmarks are presented in
+figure \ref{fig:per-d-mc}. It shows that the performance degradation percentages for the NAS benchmarks over one site one core is on average equal to 10.6\% and is higher than these executed over the one site multi-cores scenario, which is on average equal to 7.5\%.
+The performance degradation percentages over one site multi-cores is lower because the computations to communications ratio is decreased. Therefore, selecting big
+frequencies by the scaling algorithm are proportional to this ratio, and thus the execution time do not increase significantly.
+The tradeoff distance percentages of the NAS benchmarks over the two scenarios are presented
+in the figure \ref{fig:dist-mc}.
+These tradeoff distance percentages are used to verify which scenario is the best in terms of energy reduction and performance. The figure shows that using muti-cores scenario gives bigger tradeoff distance percentages, on overage equal to 17.6\% than using one core per node scenario, on average equal to 15.3\%.}
