Hi, When a process needs to be migrated in 2.5-om, I understand that whole process memory pages are sent over to the remote node. Is there a reason why it is done this way? I was wondering, it would be simple (kind of :-D) to load memory pages from the deputy in an on-demand fashion by extending the Page Fault handler. I guess after running for a while, the process will have a comfortable set of pages to run smoothly without faulting. -- Shuveb Hussain.
