I'm looking for information on Process Migration as a feature of operating
systems. Process migration, for those of you who may be unfamiliar with the
term, is the moving of a process from one machine to another (typically in a
distributed system). I'm particularly interested in info on systems that
have actually tried to provide this facility and exercise it, particularly
with respect to recovering from failures. I'm reasonably familiar with
DEMOS/AP and Accent, so don't bother to reply about those; I am interested
in hearing about actual use experience with those systems, if process
migration is involved.
Please mail your replies to:
{seismo|allegra}!umcp-cs!mangoe or
mangoe@mimsy.umd.edu or
mangoe@maryland.ARPA (if you can still handle that) or
9107 Autoville Dr. College Park, MD 20740 USA
(if only the post-awful will do)
If enough MAILED requests for posting are received, the responses may be
posted. More likely, they will be mailed to the curious.
