我们将进程迁移定义为将足够数量的进程状态从一台机器转移到另一台机器上，以便该进程在目标机器上执行。我们特别关注设计者的目标，如性能、负载平衡和可靠性。详细讨论了操作系统设计对实现简易性的影响；我们得出结论，消息传递系统简化了迁移设计。
We define process migration as the transfer of a sufficient amount of a process's state from one machine to another for the process to execute on the target machine.This paper surveys proposed and implemented mechanisms for process migration. We pay particular attention to the designer's goals, such as performance, load-balancing, and reliability. The effect of operating system design upon the ease of implementation is discussed in some detail; we conclude that message-passing systems simplify designs for migration.
