-The tradeoff between the energy consumption and the performance of the parallel 
-applications had significant importance in the domain of the research. 
-Many researchers, \cite{EDP_for_multi_processors,Energy_aware_application_scheduling,Exploring_Energy_Performance_TradeOffs},
-have optimized the tradeoff between the energy and the performance using the well known  energy and delay product, $EDP=energy \times delay$. 
-This model is also used by Spiliopoulos et al. algorithm \cite{Spiliopoulos_Green.governors.Adaptive.DVFS},

-architecture when DVFS is used. Moreover, their algorithm is applied online, which synchronously optimized the energy consumption 
-and the execution time. Both energy consumption and execution time of a processor are predicted by the their algorithm.
-In this section the proposed frequencies selection algorithm, called Maxdist is compared with Spiliopoulos et al. algorithm, called EDP.
-To make both of the algorithms follow the same direction and  fairly  comparing them, the same energy model,  equation \ref{eq:energy} and
-the execution time model, equation \ref{eq:perf}, are used in the prediction process to select the best vector of the frequencies. 
-In contrast, the proposed algorithm starts the search space from the lower bound computed as in equation the  \ref{eq:Fint}. Also, the algorithm
-stops  the search process when it is reached to the lower bound as mentioned before. In the same way, the EDP algorithm is developed to start from the 
-same upper bound used in Maxdist algorithm, and it stops the search process when  a minimum available frequencies is reached. 
-Finally, the resulting EDP algorithm is an exhaustive search algorithm that test all possible frequencies, starting from the initial frequencies, 
-and selecting those minimized the EDP product.
-Both algorithms were applied to NAS benchmarks, class D, over 16 nodes selected from grid'5000 clusters.

 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.
