with scaling factor from each node added to the communication time of the slowest node, it means only the
communication time without any slack time. Therefore, we can consider the execution time of the iterative application is the execution time of one iteration as in EQ(\ref{eq:perf}) multiply by the number of iterations of the application.

reducing the frequency by a factor of $S$~\cite{3}. Since the FLOPS of a CPU is proportional to the frequency of a CPU, the computation time is increased proportionally to $S$. The new dynamic energy is the dynamic power multiplied by the new time of computation and is given by the following equation:
\begin{equation}
\label{eq:Edyn}
- E_\textit{dNew} = P_{dOld} \cdot S^{-3} \cdot (T_{cp} \cdot S)= S^{-2}\cdot P_{dOld} \cdot Tcp
+ E_\textit{dNew} = P_{dOld} \cdot S^{-3} \cdot (Tcp \cdot S)= S^{-2}\cdot P_{dOld} \cdot Tcp
\end{equation}
The static power is related to the power leakage of the CPU and is consumed during computation and even when idle. As in~\cite{3,46}, we assume that the static power of a processor is constant during idle and computation periods, and for all its available frequencies.
The static energy is the static power multiplied by the execution time of the program. According to the execution time model in EQ(\ref{eq:perf}),
In this section we are proposed a heterogeneous scaling algorithm,
(figure~\ref{HSA}), that selects the optimal vector of the frequency scaling factors from each
-node. The algorithm is numerates the suitable range of available frequency scaling

synchronous barrier for the slowest nodes to finish there work as in figure
(\ref{fig:heter}). Our algorithm is takes into account these imbalanced workloads
algorithm is selects 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 tests the first

When the initial frequencies are computed, the algorithm numerates all available
frequency scaling factors starting from the initial frequencies until all nodes reach their
minimum frequencies. At each iteration the algorithm determine the slowest node according to EQ(\ref{eq:perf}).

+It is remains the frequency of the slowest node without change, while it is scales down the frequency of the other
nodes. This is improved the execution time degradation and energy saving in the same time.
The proposed algorithm works online during the execution time of the iterative MPI program. It is

objective function EQ(\ref{eq:max}). The program changes the new frequencies of
the CPUs according to the computed scaling factors. This algorithm has a small

In this experiments we are interested to run the class C, the biggest class compared to A and B, on different number of
nodes, from 4 to 128 or 144 nodes according to the type of the iterative MPI program. Depending on the proposed energy consumption model EQ(\ref{eq:energy}),
- we are measure the energy consumption for all NAS MPI programs. The dynamic and static power values are used under the same assumption used by \cite{45,3}. We are used a percentage of 80\% for dynamic power and 20\% for static of the total power consumption of a CPU. The heterogeneous nodes in table (\ref{table:platform}) have different simulated computing power (FLOPS), ranked from the node of type 1 with smaller computing power (FLOPS) to the highest computing power (FLOPS) for node of type 4. Therefore, the power values are used proportionally increased from nodes of type 1 to nodes of type 4 that with highest computing power. Then, we are used an assumption that the power consumption is increased linearly when the computing power (FLOPS) of the processor is increased, see \cite{48}.
