Abstract: The Sprite operating system allows executing processes to be moved between hosts at any time. We use this process migration mechanism to offload work onto idle machines, and also to evict migrated processes when idle workstations are reclaimed by their owners. Sprite's migration mechanism provides a high degree of transparency both for migrated processes and for users. Transparency is ensured by managing shared data structures on a single site and redirecting operations on those structures to... (Update)

...one once session connectivity is restored. In many ways, the challenges faced are similar to those presented in process migration [29, 93, 134], except that the new process executes on the same host as the previous process. In both cases, the system must do one of three...
