+In this paper, a new online frequency selecting algorithm have been presented. It selects the best possible vector of frequency scaling factors that gives the maximum distance (optimal tradeoff) between the predicted energy and 
+the predicted performance curves for a heterogeneous platform. This algorithm uses a new energy model for measuring  

 and predicting the energy of distributed iterative applications running over heterogeneous 
 and predicting the energy of distributed iterative applications running over heterogeneous 

-cluster. The proposed method evaluated on Simgrid/SMPI  simulator to built a heterogeneous 
-platform to executes NAS parallel benchmarks. The results of the experiments showed the ability of
-the proposed algorithm to changes its behaviour to selects different scaling factors  when 
-the number of computing nodes and both of the static and the dynamic powers are changed. 
-
-In the future, we plan to improve this method to apply on asynchronous  iterative applications 
-where each task does not wait the others tasks to finish there works. This leads us to develop a new 
-energy model to an asynchronous iterative applications, where the number of iterations is not 
+platform. To evaluate the proposed method, it  was  applied on the NAS parallel benchmarks and executed over a heterogeneous platform simulated by  Simgrid. The results of the experiments showed that the algorithm reduces up to 35\% the energy consumption of a message passing iterative method while limiting the degradation of the performance. The algorithm also  selects different scaling factors   according to the percentage of the computing and communication times, and according to the values of  the static and  dynamic powers of the CPUs. 
+
+In the near future, this method will be applied to real heterogeneous platforms to evaluate its performance in a real study case. It would also be interesting to evaluate its scalability over large scale heterogeneous platform and measure the energy consumption reduction it can produce. Afterward, We would like  to develop a similar method that is adapted to asynchronous  iterative applications 
+where each task does not wait for others tasks to finish there works. The development of such method might require a new 
+energy model because the number of iterations is not 

 known in advance and depends on the global convergence of the iterative system.
