Abstract:

The design of a process migration mechanism for the Amoeba distributed operating system is described. The primary motivation for this implementation is to carry out experimental and realistic studies of load balancing algorithms for a distributed operating system. Our aim has been the implementation of a mechanism which is general, efficient and fully transparent, and which is reliable in the presence of network andprocessor failures. 1
