Process migration and load balancing.

Abstract

Process migration is the act of transferring an active process between two machines Today in the real world while process is under execution it may happens so that the process gets stacked in between. If this happens for more than one process then there should be some mechanism that helps process to precede further .Here comes the IDEA of LOAD BALANCING using PROCESS MIGRATION and restoring the process from the point it left off on the selected destination node. Several implementations have been built for different operating systems. With increasing deployment of distributed systems in general, process migration is again receiving more attention in both research and product development. We use process migration to control over the load sharing, availability of long process, utilizing some special resources.
