Version 0

A research project on process migration started in 1977. A prototype operating system, based on Bell Lab's Unix 6 was developed and tests were performed on a PDP-11/45 and a diskless PDP-11/10 that were connected by parallel I/O.

This study demonstrated that even with slow communication links, it is possible to gain substantial performance improvements by migrating and running processes in remote nodes.
