Design and Implementation of a CPU Bound Process Migration in Windows 7

This paper presents a new mechanism for user-level process migration in a network of homogeneous systems running Windows 7 operating system. The methodology supports the migration of execution entities among nodes during runtime. Within this approach the execution and memory states of a process are transferred dynamically from one node to another in the distributed system. Some other techniques are essentially required in order to achieve migration. These techniques are suspending, check pointing, and resuming the transferred process.
