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 tradeoff) 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 -platform. 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 35\% the energy consumption of a message passing iterative method while limiting the degradation of the performance.

It would also be interesting to evaluate its scalability over large scale heterogeneous platform 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 others tasks to finish there works.
