Abstract: This article discusses the history of process migration in Sprite. It focusses on implementation details, describing how we provide fully transparent, preemptable remote execution. Our limited experience with migration suggests that we have met our original goal of sharing processor cycles transparently while preserving response times for users. However, this capability has come at a much greater implementation cost than we had anticipated. Our greatest problem resulted from changes to the rest ... (Update)

.... a machine of the same architecture [14] The main examples of this approach are Amoeba [24] Charlotte [2] Demos MP [25] MOS [4] Sprite [12], and the V system [32] Emerald [20] uses the same basic approach, although here the unit of granularity is an object, not a process....
