Process migration is when processes in computer clusters are able to move from machine to machine. Process migration is implemented in, among others, OpenMosix.
Process migration alternate definition is coming from IC design and engineering. Process migration or Layout migration is a design flow to change and shrink an existing IC layout to a new process technology node. The implementation of a process migration could be done manually by redrawing the layout feature by feature or by automatic EDA/CAD tools. The main tools in the market to allow such a flow are: VLM from cadence design systems and Siclone from Sagantec [1].
