If the optimum program configuration is data-dependent, the process distribution will have to be performed at run time, i.e. dynamically. A message-passing harness has been developed with a process migration capability for dynamic loca-balancing on transputer-based machines. This paper describes the process migration harness and the way in which it is integrated with the user's application, gives a brief survey of the types of dynamic load balancing algorithm currently under investigation and concludes with some preliminary performance results." }
