On the Design and Implementation of Thread Migration for CDPthread-based System

One of the primary goals of Distributed Shared Memory (DSM) research is to minimize network traffic and reduce the latency. One way to solve this problem is to use thread migration. In this thesis, we show how thread migration is implemented in a CDPthread-based system. To maintain high portability and flexibility, a generic thread migration package is implemented as a user library. This mechanism can be used to better utilize system resources and improve performance of a CDPthread-based system. It also provides programmer an easy way to migrate threads between different nodes. Moreover, we use thread migration to implement dynamic load balance. Our experimental results show that the dynamic load balance can improve system performance significantly in the average case.
