Abstract

Dynamic migration of lightweight threads supportsboth data locality and load balancing. However, mi-grating threads that contain pointers referencing datain both the stack and heap remains an open problem.In this paper we describe a technique by which threadswith pointers referencing both stack and non-sharedheap data can be migrated such that the pointers remain valid after migration. As a result, threads containing pointers can now be migrated between processors in a homogeneous distributed memory environment.
