Abstract

Process Originated Migration in a distributed system comprised of both Sun and MicroVax workstations is described. An introductory section characterizes distributed systems, distinguishes them from network systems, and summarizes existing work in process migration. The motivations for both process originated migration and heterogeneous migration are presented. The assumptions and design criteria as well as the design choices made for leverage, simplicity, and performance are provided. The design and its implementation are provided. Several extensions are presented and conclusions are drawn.

Dynamic migration has been investigated in several research efforts as a vehicle for load sharing, resource sharing, communication overhead reduction, failure robustness, and several other contexts. This paper presents a summary of related work in ...
Heterogeneous process migration: issues and an approach
ACMSE '97: Proceedings of the 35th annual ACM Southeast Conference

Process migration is the transfer of some significant part of the state of execution of a process from one machine (source) to another (destination), so that the process can resume execution on the destination machine from the point where it stopped ...
