-  Computing platforms are consuming more and more energy due to the increasing
-  number of nodes composing them.  To minimize the operating costs of these
-  platforms many techniques have been used. Dynamic voltage and frequency
-  scaling (DVFS) is one of them. It reduces the frequency of a CPU to lower its
-  energy consumption.  However, lowering the frequency of a CPU may increase
-  the execution time of an application running on that processor.  Therefore,
-  the frequency that gives the best trade-off between the energy consumption and
-  the performance of an application must be selected.
-
-  In this paper, a new online frequency selecting algorithm for heterogeneous
-  platforms (heterogeneous CPUs) is presented.  It selects the frequencies and tries to give the best
-  trade-off between energy saving and performance degradation, for each node
-  computing the message passing iterative application. The algorithm has a small
-  overhead and works without training or profiling. It uses a new energy model
-  for message passing iterative applications running on a heterogeneous
-  platform. The proposed algorithm is evaluated on the SimGrid simulator while
-  running the NAS parallel benchmarks.  The experiments show that it reduces the
-  energy consumption by up to \np[\%]{34} while limiting the performance
-  degradation as much as possible.  Finally, the algorithm is compared to an

 \section{Introduction}
 \label{sec.intro}
 

-The need for more computing power is continually increasing. To partially
-satisfy this need, most supercomputers constructors just put more computing
-nodes in their platform. The resulting platforms may achieve higher floating
-point operations per second (FLOPS), but the energy consumption and the heat
-dissipation are also increased.  As an example, the Chinese supercomputer
-Tianhe-2 had the highest FLOPS in November 2014 according to the Top500 list
-\cite{TOP500_Supercomputers_Sites}.  However, it was also the most power hungry
-platform with its over 3 million cores consuming around 17.8 megawatts.
-Moreover, according to the U.S.  annual energy outlook 2014
-\cite{U.S_Annual.Energy.Outlook.2014}, the price of energy for 1 megawatt-hour
-was approximately equal to \$70.  Therefore, the price of the energy consumed by
-the Tianhe-2 platform is approximately more than \$10 million each year.  The
-computing platforms must be more energy efficient and offer the highest number
-of FLOPS per watt possible, such as the L-CSC from the GSI Helmholtz Center
-which became the top of the Green500 list in November 2014 \cite{Green500_List}.
-This heterogeneous platform executes more than 5 GFLOPS per watt while consuming
-57.15 kilowatts.
-
-Besides platform improvements, there are many software and hardware techniques
-to lower the energy consumption of these platforms, such as scheduling, DVFS,
-\dots{} DVFS is a widely used process to reduce the energy consumption of a
-processor by lowering its frequency
-\cite{Rizvandi_Some.Observations.on.Optimal.Frequency}. However, it also reduces
-the number of FLOPS executed by the processor which may increase the execution
-time of the application running over that processor.  Therefore, researchers use
-different optimization strategies to select the frequency that gives the best
-trade-off between the energy reduction and performance degradation ratio. In
-\cite{Our_first_paper}, a frequency selecting algorithm was proposed to reduce
-the energy consumption of message passing iterative applications running over
-homogeneous platforms.  The results of the experiments show significant energy
-consumption reductions. In this paper, a new frequency selecting algorithm
-adapted for heterogeneous platform is presented. It selects the vector of
-frequencies, for a heterogeneous platform running a message passing iterative
-application, that simultaneously tries to offer the maximum energy reduction and
-minimum performance degradation ratio. The algorithm has a very small overhead,
-works online and does not need any training or profiling.
-
-This paper is organized as follows: Section~\ref{sec.relwork} presents some
-related works from other authors.  Section~\ref{sec.exe} describes how the
-execution time of message passing programs can be predicted.  It also presents
-an energy model that predicts the energy consumption of an application running
-over a heterogeneous platform. Section~\ref{sec.compet} presents the
-energy-performance objective function that maximizes the reduction of energy
-consumption while minimizing the degradation of the program's performance.
-Section~\ref{sec.optim} details the proposed frequency selecting algorithm then
-the precision of the proposed algorithm is verified.  Section~\ref{sec.expe}
-presents the results of applying the algorithm on the NAS parallel benchmarks
-and executing them on a heterogeneous platform. It shows the results of running
-three different power scenarios and comparing them. Moreover, it also shows the
-comparison results between the proposed method and an existing method.  Finally,
-in Section~\ref{sec.concl} the paper ends with a summary and some future works.

-DVFS is a technique used in modern processors to scale down both the voltage and
-the frequency of the CPU while computing, in order to reduce the energy
-consumption of the processor. DVFS is also allowed in GPUs to achieve the same
-goal. Reducing the frequency of a processor lowers its number of FLOPS and may
-degrade the performance of the application running on that processor, especially
-if it is compute bound. Therefore selecting the appropriate frequency for a
-processor to satisfy some objectives, while taking into account all the
-constraints, is not a trivial operation.  Many researchers used different
-strategies to tackle this problem. Some of them developed online methods that
-compute the new frequency while executing the application, such
-as~\cite{Hao_Learning.based.DVFS,Spiliopoulos_Green.governors.Adaptive.DVFS}.
-Others used offline methods that may need to run the application and profile
-it before selecting the new frequency, such
-as~\cite{Rountree_Bounding.energy.consumption.in.MPI,Cochran_Pack_and_Cap_Adaptive_DVFS}.
-The methods could be heuristics, exact or brute force methods that satisfy
-varied objectives such as energy reduction or performance. They also could be
-adapted to the execution's environment and the type of the application such as
-sequential, parallel or distributed architecture, homogeneous or heterogeneous
-platform, synchronous or asynchronous application, \dots{}
-
-In this paper, we are interested in reducing energy for message passing
-iterative synchronous applications running over heterogeneous platforms.  Some
-works have already been done for such platforms and they can be classified into
-two types of heterogeneous platforms:
-\begin{itemize}
-\item the platform is composed of homogeneous GPUs and homogeneous CPUs.
-\item the platform is only composed of heterogeneous CPUs.
-\end{itemize}
-
-For the first type of platform, the computing intensive parallel tasks are
-executed on the GPUs and the rest are executed on the CPUs.  Luley et
-al.~\cite{Luley_Energy.efficiency.evaluation.and.benchmarking}, proposed a
-heterogeneous cluster composed of Intel Xeon CPUs and NVIDIA GPUs. Their main
-goal was to maximize the energy efficiency of the platform during computation by
-maximizing the number of FLOPS per watt generated.
-In~\cite{KaiMa_Holistic.Approach.to.Energy.Efficiency.in.GPU-CPU}, Kai Ma et
-al. developed a scheduling algorithm that distributes workloads proportional to
-the computing power of the nodes which could be a GPU or a CPU. All the tasks
-must be completed at the same time.  In~\cite{Rong_Effects.of.DVFS.on.K20.GPU},
-Rong et al. showed that a heterogeneous (GPUs and CPUs) cluster that enables
-DVFS gave better energy and performance efficiency than other clusters only
-composed of CPUs.
-
-The work presented in this paper concerns the second type of platform, with
-heterogeneous CPUs.  Many methods were conceived to reduce the energy
-consumption of this type of platform.  Naveen et
-al.~\cite{Naveen_Power.Efficient.Resource.Scaling} developed a method that
-minimizes the value of $\mathit{energy}\times \mathit{delay}^2$ (the delay is
-the sum of slack times that happen during synchronous communications) by
-dynamically assigning new frequencies to the CPUs of the heterogeneous cluster.
-Lizhe et al.~\cite{Lizhe_Energy.aware.parallel.task.scheduling} proposed an
-algorithm that divides the executed tasks into two types: the critical and non
-critical tasks. The algorithm scales down the frequency of non critical tasks
-proportionally to their slack and communication times while limiting the
-performance degradation percentage to less than \np[\%]{10}.
-In~\cite{Joshi_Blackbox.prediction.of.impact.of.DVFS}, they developed a
-heterogeneous cluster composed of two types of Intel and AMD processors. They
-use a gradient method to predict the impact of DVFS operations on performance.
-In~\cite{Shelepov_Scheduling.on.Heterogeneous.Multicore} and
-\cite{Li_Minimizing.Energy.Consumption.for.Frame.Based.Tasks}, the best
-frequencies for a specified heterogeneous cluster are selected offline using
-some heuristic.  Chen et
-al.~\cite{Chen_DVFS.under.quality.of.service.requirements} used a greedy dynamic
-programming approach to minimize the power consumption of heterogeneous servers
-while respecting given time constraints.  This approach had considerable
-overhead.  In contrast to the above described papers, this paper presents the
-following contributions :
-\begin{enumerate}
-\item two new energy and performance models for message passing iterative
-  synchronous applications running over a heterogeneous platform. Both models
-  take into account communication and slack times. The models can predict the
-  required energy and the execution time of the application.
-
-\item a new online frequency selecting algorithm for heterogeneous
-  platforms. The algorithm has a very small overhead and does not need any
-  training or profiling. It uses a new optimization function which
-  simultaneously maximizes the performance and minimizes the energy consumption
-  of a message passing iterative synchronous application.

-\subsection{The evaluation of the proposed algorithm}
-\label{sec.verif.algo}
-
-The precision of the proposed algorithm mainly depends on the execution time
-prediction model defined in (\ref{eq:perf}) and the energy model computed by
-(\ref{eq:energy}).  The energy model is also significantly dependent on the
-execution time model because the static energy is linearly related to the
-execution time and the dynamic energy is related to the computation time. So,
-all the works presented in this paper are based on the execution time model. To
-verify this model, the predicted execution time was compared to the real
-execution time over SimGrid/SMPI simulator,
-v3.10~\cite{casanova+giersch+legrand+al.2014.versatile}, for all the NAS
-parallel benchmarks NPB v3.3 \cite{NAS.Parallel.Benchmarks}, running class B on
-8 or 9 nodes. The comparison showed that the proposed execution time model is
-very precise, the maximum normalized difference between the predicted execution
-time and the real execution time is equal to 0.03 for all the NAS benchmarks.
-
-Since the proposed algorithm is not an exact method, it does not test all the
-possible solutions (vectors of scaling factors) in the search space. To prove
-its efficiency, it was compared on small instances to a brute force search
-algorithm that tests all the possible solutions. The brute force algorithm was
-applied to different NAS benchmarks classes with different number of nodes. The
-solutions returned by the brute force algorithm and the proposed algorithm were
-identical and the proposed algorithm was on average 10 times faster than the
-brute force algorithm. It has a small execution time: for a heterogeneous
-cluster composed of four different types of nodes having the characteristics
-presented in Table~\ref{table:platform}, it takes on average \np[ms]{0.04} for 4
-nodes and \np[ms]{0.15} on average for 144 nodes to compute the best scaling
-factors vector.  The algorithm complexity is $O(F\cdot N)$, where $F$ is the
-maximum number of available frequencies, and $N$ is the number of computing
-nodes. The algorithm needs from 12 to 20 iterations to select the best vector of
-frequency scaling factors that gives the results of the next sections.

 \section{Experimental results}
 \label{sec.expe}
 

-To evaluate the efficiency and the overall energy consumption reduction of
-Algorithm~\ref{HSA}, it was applied to the NAS parallel benchmarks NPB v3.3 which 
-is composed of synchronous message passing applications. The 
-experiments were executed on the simulator SimGrid/SMPI which offers easy tools
-to create a heterogeneous platform and run message passing applications over it.
-The heterogeneous platform that was used in the experiments, had one core per
-node because just one process was executed per node.  The heterogeneous platform
-was composed of four types of nodes. Each type of nodes had different
-characteristics such as the maximum CPU frequency, the number of available
-frequencies and the computational power, see Table~\ref{table:platform}. The
-characteristics of these different types of nodes are inspired from the
-specifications of real Intel processors.  The heterogeneous platform had up to
-144 nodes and had nodes from the four types in equal proportions, for example if
-a benchmark was executed on 8 nodes, 2 nodes from each type were used. Since the
-constructors of CPUs do not specify the dynamic and the static power of their
-CPUs, for each type of node they were chosen proportionally to its computing
-power (FLOPS).  In the initial heterogeneous platform, while computing with
-highest frequency, each node consumed an amount of power proportional to its
-computing power (which corresponds to \np[\%]{80} of its dynamic power and the
-remaining \np[\%]{20} to the static power), the same assumption was made in
-\cite{Our_first_paper,Rauber_Analytical.Modeling.for.Energy}.  Finally, These
-nodes were connected via an Ethernet network with \np[Gbit/s]{1} bandwidth.

-\subsection{The experimental results of the scaling algorithm}

-
-The proposed algorithm was applied to the seven parallel NAS benchmarks (EP, CG,
-MG, FT, BT, LU and SP) and the benchmarks were executed with the three classes:
-A, B and C. However, due to the lack of space in this paper, only the results of
-the biggest class, C, are presented while being run on different number of
-nodes, ranging from 8 to 128 or 144 nodes depending on the benchmark being
-executed. Indeed, the benchmarks CG, MG, LU, EP and FT had to be executed on 1,
-2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, or 128 nodes.  The other benchmarks such as BT and SP had
-to be executed on 1, 4, 9, 16, 36, 64, or 144 nodes.

+\subsection{Grid'5000 architature and power consumption}
+\label{sec.grid5000}
+The grid'5000 is a large-scale testbed found in France \cite{grid5000}.
+The grid infrastructure consist of ten sites distributed over all France 
+metropolitan regions. Each site in the grid'5000 composed from number of heterogeneous 
+computing clusters, while each cluster includes a collection of homogeneous nodes.
+In general, the grid'5000 had one thousand of heterogeneous nodes and eight thousand of cores. 
+All the sites are connected together via special long distance network called RENATER,
+which is the French National Telecommunication Network for Technology. Whereas inside each site 
+the clusters and their nodes are connected throw high speed local area networks. 
+There are different types of local networks used such as Ethernet and Infiniband netwoks,  
+which allowed different gigabits bandwidth and latencies.  On the other hand, the nodes inside each cluster 
+are homogeneous, while they are different from the nodes of the other clusters. Therefore, there are
+a wide diversity of processors in grid'5000, that mainly had different processors families 
+such as  Intel Xeon and AMD Opteron families. 
+
+In this paper we are interested  to run NAS parallel v3.3 \cite{NAS.Parallel.Benchmarks} over grid'5000.
+We are used seven benchmarks, CG, MG, EP, LU, BT, SP and FT. These benchmarks used seven different types of classes.
+These classes are S, W, A, B, C, D, E, where S represents the smaller problem size that used by benchmark and
+E is represents the biggest class. In this work, the class D is used for all benchmarks in all the experiments that will 
+be showed in the coming sections.
+Moreover, the NAS parallel benchmarks have different computations and communications ratios, then it is interested 
+to study their energy consumption and their performance on real testbed such as grid'5000.
+In this work, the NAS benchmarks are executed over two sites, Lyon and Nancy sites, of grid'5000.
+These two sites had seven different types of computing clusters as in figure (\ref{fig:grid5000}).

+The grid'5000 testbed provided some monitoring and measurements features to captured 
+the power consumption values for each node in any cluster of Lyon and Nancy sites. 
+The power consumed for each node from the selected four clusters is measured. 
+While the power consumed by any computing node is a collection of the powers  consumed by 
+hard drive, main-board, memory and node's computing cores, for more detail refer to
+\cite{Energy_measurement}. Therefore, the dynamic power consumed
+by one core is not allowed to measured alone. To overcome this problem, firstly, 
+we measured the power consumed by one node when there is no computation, when 
+the CPU is in the idle state. The second step, we run EP benchmark, there is no communications 
+in this benchmarks, over one core with maximum frequency of the desired node and 
+capturing the power consumed by a node, this representing the peak power of the node with one core.  
+The difference between the peak power  and the idle power representing the 
+dynamic power consumption of that core with maximum frequency, for example see figure(\ref{fig:power_cons}). 
+The $\Ppeak[jx]$ is the peak power value in time $x$ with maximum frequency for one core of node $j$, 
+and $\Pidle[jy]$ is the idle power value in time $y$ for the one  core of the node $j$ . 
+The dynamic power $\Pd[j]$ is computed as in equation (\ref{eq:pdyn})
+\begin{equation}
+  \label{eq:pdyn}
+    \Pd[j] = \max_{x=\beta_1,\dots \beta_2} (\Ppeak[jx])  -  \min_{y=\Theta_1,\dots \Theta_2} (\Pidle[jy])
+\end{equation}

 
 

+where $\Pd[j]$ is the dynamic power consumption for one core of node $j$, 
+$\lbrace \beta_1,\beta_2 \rbrace$ is the time interval for the measured peak power values, 
+$\lbrace\Theta_1,\Theta_2\rbrace$ is the time interval for the measured  idle power values.
+Therefore, the dynamic power of one core is computed as the difference between the maximum 
+measured value in peak powers vector and the minimum measured value in the idle powers vector.
+We are computed the dynamic powers, using the equation (\ref{eq:pdyn}), for all nodes in the 
+selected clusters, which is recorded in table  \ref{table:grid5000}.
+On the other side, the static power consumption by one core is embedded with whole idle power consumption of the node.
+Indeed, the static power is represents as ratio from  dynamic power. So, we supposed  
+the static power consumption represented  as \np[\%]{20} of dynamic power consumption of the core, 
+the same assumption was made in \cite{Our_first_paper,pdsec2015,Rauber_Analytical.Modeling.for.Energy}.

-The overall energy consumption was computed for each instance according to the
-energy consumption model (\ref{eq:energy}), with and without applying the
-algorithm. The execution time was also measured for all these experiments. Then,
-the energy saving and performance degradation percentages were computed for each
-instance.  The results are presented in Tables 
-\ref{table:res_8n}, \ref{table:res_16n}, \ref{table:res_32n},
-\ref{table:res_64n} and \ref{table:res_128n}. All these results are the average
-values from many experiments for energy savings and performance degradation.
-The tables show the experimental results for running the NAS parallel benchmarks
-on different numbers of nodes.  The experiments show that the algorithm
-significantly reduces the energy consumption (up to \np[\%]{34}) and tries to
-limit the performance degradation.  They also show that the energy saving
-percentage decreases when the number of computing nodes increases.  This
-reduction is due to the increase of the communication times compared to the
-execution times when the benchmarks are run over a higher number of nodes.
-Indeed, the benchmarks with the same class, C, are executed on different numbers
-of nodes, so the computation required for each iteration is divided by the
-number of computing nodes.  On the other hand, more communications are required
-when increasing the number of nodes so the static energy increases linearly
-according to the communication time and the dynamic power is less relevant in
-the overall energy consumption.  Therefore, reducing the frequency with
-Algorithm~\ref{HSA} is less effective in reducing the overall energy savings. It
-can also be noticed that for the benchmarks EP and SP that contain little or no
-communications, the energy savings are not significantly affected by the high
-number of nodes.  No experiments were conducted using bigger classes than D,
-because they require a lot of memory (more than \np[GB]{64}) when being executed
-by the simulator on one machine.  The maximum distance between the normalized
-energy curve and the normalized performance for each instance is also shown in
-the result tables. It decrease in the same way as the energy saving percentage.
-The tables also show that the performance degradation percentage is not
-significantly increased when the number of computing nodes is increased because
-the computation times are small when compared to the communication times.
-
-Figures~\ref{fig:energy} and \ref{fig:per_deg} present the energy saving and
-performance degradation respectively for all the benchmarks according to the
-number of used nodes. As shown in the first plot, the energy saving percentages
-of the benchmarks MG, LU, BT and FT decrease linearly when the number of nodes
-increase. While for the EP and SP benchmarks, the energy saving percentage is
-not affected by the increase of the number of computing nodes, because in these
-benchmarks there are little or no communications. Finally, the energy saving of
-the CG benchmark significantly decreases when the number of nodes increase
-because this benchmark has more communications than the others. The second plot
-shows that the performance degradation percentages of most of the benchmarks
-decrease when they run on a big number of nodes because they spend more time
-communicating than computing, thus, scaling down the frequencies of some nodes
-has less effect on the performance.
-
-\subsection{The results for different power consumption scenarios}
-\label{sec.compare}
-
-The results of the previous section were obtained while using processors that
-consume during computation an overall power which is \np[\%]{80} composed of
-dynamic power and of \np[\%]{20} of static power. In this section, these ratios
-are changed and two new power scenarios are considered in order to evaluate how
-the proposed algorithm adapts itself according to the static and dynamic power
-values.  The two new power scenarios are the following:
-
-\begin{itemize}
-\item \np[\%]{70} of dynamic power and \np[\%]{30} of static power
-\item \np[\%]{90} of dynamic power and \np[\%]{10} of static power
-\end{itemize}
-
-The NAS parallel benchmarks were executed again over processors that follow the
-new power scenarios.  The class C of each benchmark was run over 8 or 9 nodes
-and the results are presented in Tables~\ref{table:res_s1} and
-\ref{table:res_s2}. These tables show that the energy saving percentage of the
-\np[\%]{70}-\np[\%]{30} scenario is smaller for all benchmarks compared to the
-energy saving of the \np[\%]{90}-\np[\%]{10} scenario.  Indeed, in the latter
-more dynamic power is consumed when nodes are running on their maximum
-frequencies, thus, scaling down the frequency of the nodes results in higher
-energy savings than in the \np[\%]{70}-\np[\%]{30} scenario. On the other hand,
-the performance degradation percentage is smaller in the \np[\%]{70}-\np[\%]{30}
-scenario compared to the \np[\%]{90}-\np[\%]{10} scenario. This is due to the
-higher static power percentage in the first scenario which makes it more
-relevant in the overall consumed energy.  Indeed, the static energy is related
-to the execution time and if the performance is degraded the amount of consumed
-static energy directly increases.  Therefore, the proposed algorithm does not
-really significantly scale down much the frequencies of the nodes in order to
-limit the increase of the execution time and thus limiting the effect of the
-consumed static energy.
-
-Both new power scenarios are compared to the old one in
-Figure~\ref{fig:sen_comp}. It shows the average of the performance degradation,
-the energy saving and the distances for all NAS benchmarks of class C running on
-8 or 9 nodes.  The comparison shows that the energy saving ratio is proportional
-to the dynamic power ratio: it is increased when applying the
-\np[\%]{90}-\np[\%]{10} scenario because at maximum frequency the dynamic energy
-is the most relevant in the overall consumed energy and can be reduced by
-lowering the frequency of some processors. On the other hand, the energy saving
-decreases when the \np[\%]{70}-\np[\%]{30} scenario is used because the dynamic
-energy is less relevant in the overall consumed energy and lowering the
-frequency does not return big energy savings.  Moreover, the average of the
-performance degradation is decreased when using a higher ratio for static power
-(e.g.  \np[\%]{70}-\np[\%]{30} scenario and \np[\%]{80}-\np[\%]{20}
-scenario). Since the proposed algorithm optimizes the energy consumption when
-using a higher ratio for dynamic power the algorithm selects bigger frequency
-scaling factors that result in more energy saving but less performance, for
-example see Figure~\ref{fig:scales_comp}. The opposite happens when using a
-higher ratio for static power, the algorithm proportionally selects smaller
-scaling values which result in less energy saving but also less performance
-degradation.

 \subsection{The comparison of the proposed scaling algorithm }
 \label{sec.compare_EDP}
 

-In this section, the scaling factors selection algorithm, called MaxDist, is
-compared to Spiliopoulos et al. algorithm
-\cite{Spiliopoulos_Green.governors.Adaptive.DVFS}, called EDP.  They developed a
-green governor that regularly applies an online frequency selecting algorithm to
-reduce the energy consumed by a multicore architecture without degrading much
-its performance. The algorithm selects the frequencies that minimize the energy
-and delay products, $\mathit{EDP}=\mathit{energy}\times \mathit{delay}$ using
-the predicted overall energy consumption and execution time delay for each
-frequency.  To fairly compare both algorithms, the same energy and execution
-time models, equations (\ref{eq:energy}) and (\ref{eq:fnew}), were used for both
-algorithms to predict the energy consumption and the execution times. Also
-Spiliopoulos et al. algorithm was adapted to start the search from the initial
-frequencies computed using the equation (\ref{eq:Fint}). The resulting algorithm
-is an exhaustive search algorithm that minimizes the EDP and has the initial
-frequencies values as an upper bound.
-
-Both algorithms were applied to the parallel NAS benchmarks to compare their
-efficiency. Table~\ref{table:compare_EDP} presents the results of comparing the
-execution times and the energy consumption for both versions of the NAS
-benchmarks while running the class C of each benchmark over 8 or 9 heterogeneous
-nodes. The results show that our algorithm provides better energy savings than
-Spiliopoulos et al. algorithm, on average it results in \np[\%]{29.76} energy
-saving while their algorithm returns just \np[\%]{25.75}. The average of
-performance degradation percentage is approximately the same for both
-algorithms, about \np[\%]{4}.
-
-For all benchmarks,  our algorithm outperforms Spiliopoulos et  al. algorithm in
-terms of  energy and  performance trade-off, see  Figure~\ref{fig:compare_EDP},
-because it maximizes the distance  between the energy saving and the performance
-degradation values while giving the same weight for both metrics.

 \section{Conclusion}
 \label{sec.concl}
 

-In this paper, a new online frequency selecting algorithm has been presented. It
-selects the best possible vector of frequency scaling factors that gives the
-maximum distance (optimal trade-off) 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 platforms. 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 \np[\%]{34} 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.  Finally, the algorithm was
-compared to Spiliopoulos et al.  algorithm and the results showed that it
-outperforms their algorithm in terms of energy-time trade-off.
-
-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 platforms 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  other tasks  to finish  their  works.  The
-development of such a 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.

-============================== Standard 1 ==============================
-
-> *** Key Contributions: Please describe the key contributions of the
-      paper or lack thereof. Your comments should be specific and
-      justify your overall recommendation.
-
-This paper presents a new online frequency selecting algorithm for
-distributed iterative applications running on heterogeneous CPU nodes.
-Contrary to previous work (for homogeneous CPU), this heterogeneous
-context implies a vector of scaling factors and "slack times" before
-synchronizing the processes at each iteration.  The models and the
-algorithm are clearly presented and detailed, and are validated on
-several benchmarks thanks to a simulator.  Comparison with another
-scaling factor selection algorithm (which does not take into account
-communication times and heterogeneity) shows the relevance of this new
-algorithm which manages to significantly reduce the energy consumption
-with acceptable performance overhead.
-
-Overall, this is a very solid work, and the paper is well-written and
-very clear.
-
-The main flaw of this paper is that the evaluation is only done via a
-simulator.  As mentioned in future work, evaluations on real
-heterogeneous CPU platforms (with real power measurements) will be
-necessary (as future work) to validate definitely this algorithm and
-the models.
-
-> *** Suggestions for Improvement: Additional comments and suggestions
-      for improvement in the technical content or the presentation.
-      Please be as detailed and constructive as you can be.
-
-The energy and performance models rely on compute-bound programs,
-where the computation time is linearly proportional to the processor
-frequency. Does this apply to all NAS benchmarks ?  The authors should
-specify which NAS benchmarks are memory-bound (if any), and how their
-model apply to these memory-bound benchmarks.

-Moreover, in section III it seems that the authors assume that the
-communication time (without slack time) is the same for all processors
-provided they have the same communication volume.  This could be
-pointed out more clearly in the paper.  Also, does this apply to all
-NAS benchmarks?  Does it also depends on the placement of the MPI
-processes?  I assume that for the same communication volume, the
-communication time will differ whether the processes are on
-neighbouring nodes or are on distant nodes (especially with 128 or 144
-nodes).
-Could the authors discuss in the text?
-
-The authors consider that the communication time only apply to static
-power, which means that no CPU cycle is used for the MPI
-communications.  Does this implies specific networks (like Infiniband)
-with RDMA?
-This could be clarified in the paper.
-
-Finally, the algorithm applies to synchronous iterative applications:
-is this the case for all NAS benchmarks evaluated in this paper?  This
-could also be specified in the paper.
-
-Figures 2a and 2b : I do not understand why the energy curve in Fig.2b
-does not have the same shape as the one in Fig.2a.
-Could the authors specify this in the text?
-
-Minor comments :
-- The authors could specify in the abstract that "heterogeneous
-  platforms" refer to heterogeneous CPUs (not to CPU-GPU nodes).
-- The terms "in the same direction" (used twice in section IV) are
-  unclear and should be rewritten.
-- Section V.A : replace "because selecting frequency scaling factors
-  higher than the higher bound" by "because selecting frequencies
-  higher than the higher bound"?

-The paper proposed a frequency selection algorithm for heterogeneous

-energy consumption and the performance to get the trade off scale
-factor. on This is an interesting paper with good trial to cover many

-
-The paper ran NPB benchmarks to verify the algorithm but there is no

-The paper develops DVFS performance models and an online algorithm to
-optimize time and energy for iterative message passing applications on
-a heterogeneous CPU cluster. An objective function is developed to
-express the time energy tradeoff.  Results using a simulated framework
-show worthwhile energy gains for acceptable loss of execution time.  A
-comparison with a more general pre-existing algorithm show modest
-improvements in energy and and energy-time tradeoff.
-
-The paper is well-written and is technically sound. Its significance
-is slightly diminished due to the fact that previous work has largely
-dealt with this issue on scenarios that are of stronger interests
-and/or are less specialized.

-III.A. The modelling of the communication time being independent of
-the frequency is questionable, even if it is backed up by a 10year old
-reference. While slack time is not affected, my own research has shown
-that communication bandwidth does clearly increase with frequency,
-albeit in a sub-linear fashion. The use of taking the minimum for
-communication time (3) needs better explanation, as it is
-counter-intuitive.
-
-I would like to some explanation as to why it takes so many iterations
-for the algorithm to select the best vector, and whether this can be
-improved. While the NAS benchmarks have a standard number of
-iterations, it would be helpful to the reader to indicate what these

-In this paper, a new online frequency selecting algorithm for
-heterogeneous platforms is presented. It selects the frequencies and
-tries to give the best trade-off between energy saving and performance
-degradation, for each node computing the message passing iterative
-application. The algorithm has a small overhead and works without
-training or profiling. It uses a new energy model for message passing
-iterative applications running on a het- erogeneous platform. The
-proposed algorithm is evaluated on the SimGrid simulator while running
-the NAS parallel benchmarks. The experiments show that it reduces the
-energy consumption by up to 35 % while limiting the performance
-degradation as much as possible. Finally, the algorithm is compared to
-an existing method, the comparison results showing that it outperforms
-the latter.

-The paper considers the DVFS technique and presents an energy model
-for DVFS systems that also takes the communication time into
-consideration.  An new algorithm for selecting the scaling factors is
-presented.  The algorithm uses a vector of scaling factors, one for
-each node, and determines the scaling factors such that best trade-off
-between minimizing the energy consumption and maximizing the
-performance for a synchronous iterative algorithm is reached.  The
-algorithm works during execution time and uses the first interation
-step for collecting the information required for the scaling factor
-selection.  An experimental evaluation is given using the SimGrid
-environment.
-
-The paper is well written and structured and should be accepted.  It
-is solid work and provides new contributions by extending earlier
-energy models with communication time concerns and proposes a new
-algorithm for DVFS control.

-Algorithm 1 in Section V could be explained in more detail.  As far as
-I can see, it tests all possible frequencies or scaling factors for
-the different nodes and selects the best as indicated by the model.  I
-was wondering whether all combinations of scaling factors are tested
-or whether this is not necessary because of the behavior of the
-communication.
-The accuracy of the frequency selection depends on the accuracy of the
-model used for the computation of the scaling factors.  It would be
-interesting to see how accurate the model is for real systems.
-However, I see that this might be difficult to capture in practice.
