I believe Ameoba (by Tanenbaum) will do this without much trouble. Of
course, you have to move the process to a machine with the same CPU and
enough memory, but that seems reasonable. It's a capability-based OS, and it
assumes (for example) that the place you compute and the place you hand
disks off of are two separate machines. (I think it even assumes your
directories live on a different machine than the actual data files.) Moving
processes between computers would be a user-level operation in this system.
(Freeze the process, find a new computer, allocate new memory, copy old
memory to new memory, start process in new memory, abort old process.)
Google for it. The papers describing the architecture are (were) online, if
not the full source code.
