%X A number of techniques for the amelioration of message
   transport costs in networked multiprocessor machines have
   been explored. Among these are established approaches such
   as (i) software implementation of message through routing
   systems, (ii) run\-time installation of point\-to\-point
   physical connections between otherwise remote processors and
   (iii) pre\-load manipulation of the machine topology to
   bring communicating processors close together. A further
   technique is proposed. This technique requires the run\-time
   transport of processes, between processors, in order to
   reduce the distance over which communication must take
   place. This paper investigates the feasibility of such an
   approach for multi\-transputer machines and indicates ways
   in which it can be implemented in practice.
