A Generic Process Migration Algorithm

Process migration has been advocated as a means of improving multicomputer configuration performance. The optimized migration algorithm utilized in migration event has direct effect on the efficiency and deployment of the process migration system. However, every design has preference factors results in concentration on specific aspect of the migration algorithm. There is no generic migration algorithm which could satisfy all circumstances with almost reasonable costs. This paper reviews the major issues which constitute the developer concerns when implementing a process migration algorithm. This examination indicates the existence of similarity in all process migration algorithms. A new migration algorithm is given and compared to the other algorithms. This algorithm attempts to integrate the significant features of the existing algorithms to form a generic algorithm.
