+As shown form these figures, the proposed frequencies selection algorithm, Maxdist, outperform the EDP algorithm in term of energy and performance for all of the benchmarks executed over the two scenarios. 
+Generally, the proposed algorithm gives better results for all benchmarks because it is
+optimized the distance between the energy saving and the performance degradation in the same time. 
+Moreover, the proposed scaling algorithm gives the same weight for these two metrics.
+Whereas, the EDP algorithm gives some times negative tradeoff values for some benchmarks in the two sites scenarios.
+These negative tradeoff values mean that the performance degradation percentage is higher than energy saving percentage.
+The higher positive value of the tradeoff distance percentage mean that the  energy saving percentage is much higher than the performance degradation percentage. 
+The time complexity of both Maxdist and EDP algorithms are $O(N \cdot M \cdot F)$ and 
+$O(N \cdot M \cdot F^2)$ respectively. Where $N$ is the number of the clusters, $M$ is the number of nodes and $F$ is the 
+maximum number of available frequencies. The proposed algorithm, Maxdist, has selected the best frequencies in a small execution time, 
+on average is equal to  0.01 $ms$, when it is executed over 32 nodes distributed between Nancy and Lyon sites.
+While the EDP algorithm was slower than Maxdist algorithm by ten times over the same number of nodes and same distribution, its execution time on average 
+is equal to 0.1 $ms$.
