Self migrating threads

From Parawiki

• Self-migrating threads have both navigational autonomy of mobile agents and fine computation granularity of threads.
• Self-migrating threads provide multi-agent applications with good programmability and performance.
• Self-migrating threads autonomously navigate over networks and resume their native-mode executions at each destination.
• Threads and the network are designed in C++
• Self migrating threads reduce remote memory access because they can "move" but they are more time consuming than simple messages.
