Abstract |
Process migration is the act of transferring a process between two machines. It enables dynamic load distribution, fault resilience and data access locality. With the increasing deployment of distributed operating systems, process migration is receiving more attention in both research and product development. Our work deals with the design and implementation of process migration in network of homogeneous systems running on Linux. The Checkpoint /Restart System (CRS) has been developed, on top of which the migration system runs as an application. The software product developed has the following features: (1) it checkpoints a process transparently (2) it doesn't require modification of existing kernel and (3) provides a standard interface which can be used by the software packages that provide services like load balancing, load sharing, crash recovery. |
