 Moreover, the proposed scaling algorithm gives the same weight for these two metrics.
 Whereas, the EDP algorithm gives sometimes negative trade-off values for some benchmarks in the two sites scenarios.
 These negative trade-off values mean that the performance degradation percentage is higher than the energy saving percentage.
